We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately people and communities

Midnight Tiger – striking and boldly-flavored new variety from J&L Gardens

The newest development in blue tomatoes is this beauty just out of our breeding program. I don’t think I have ever seen colors this intense on a tomato. It is striped with iridescent green and copper on a deep mahogany background and draped in black from the stem end. The plant is a strong and healthy 5 foot indeterminate which sets a huge flush of these fruits. The interior is multicolored red and green. We will send 40+ seeds by first class mail in a padded envelope.

Farthest North Cherry Tomato

The plants bear red-orange cherries with good flavor. The plant is quite small, barely reaching. It would work well in a container, I think.

Tesuque Blue Corn – from the Pueblo of Tesuque

Tesuque Blue was offered at the annual seed blessing and exchange in the spring. The medium tall, very stout stalks bear two 10″ ears with kernels of a deep violet blue. Tight husks and longer flags keep bugs at bay, though I did put a drop or two of mineral oil on the silks early. The pueblo of Tesuque is just north of Santa Fe and is a beautiful place. The corn makes a wonderful ornamental, but here it is ground for meal and made into flavorful tortillas. Grow a taste of Northern New Mexico in your garden this summer. I’ll send about an ounce of seed to U.S. addresses which will plant a 12×12 foot block. (no international sales)
