Nova has similar characteristics to Valentine (crack resistant, size and produces over a long period) and it has nice flavour. It is described by Johnny’s as follows: “Exclusive! Beautiful orange grape tomato. Borne on long trusses, Nova is a bright orange color with excellent, sweet flavour. Firm, meaty, 20–22 gm fruits resist cracking.” It is a vigorous indeterminate which means it should be staked, trellised or caged and pruned for best results. Fruit ripens over an extended period. One plant per 3.5” container.

It is a vigorous indeterminate which means it should be staked, trellised, or caged, and pruned for best results. One plant per 3.5” container.

*New Offering
This new (to me) variety was offered by Annapolis Seeds. Here’s what Owen Bridge, the owner of Annapolis Seeds has to say: “Farm favourite cherry tomato! Sweet and intensely flavourful, it hits all the right notes when you pop one in your mouth. I’m a fan of their dense texture and split-resistant skins too. I would dare compare it to the famed hybrid Sungold in terms of sheer deliciousness; definitely the best open pollinated gold cherry I’ve ever encountered. Long hanging trusses of fruit on indeterminate vines. Grown by Annapolis Seeds. This variety was shared with us by friend and fellow seed saver Silvana Castillo (La Finquita Seeds). She has been selecting it for in Nova Scotia's north shore, where it developed a cult following of all who tasted it.” I’m excited to try Silvana’s Gold!

Delicious determinate grape. This variety was introduced in 2024. It is a well-behaved plant with tasty fruit. Here’s what Johnny’s Seeds has to say about Candy Bell: “This is a labour-saving determinate grape with great taste and is a manageable plant. Candy Bell maintains a good fruit size and has medium-high crack tolerance. The ideal size (15 gm.) and shape for a grape. Slightly open plant habit makes harvests easier, and little to no pruning is required.”

Cutie-patootie best describes Tidy Treats! Tidy Treats is considered the best cherry tomato for patio gardens. It is a neat, compact tomato ideal for tight spaces. It is tasty and high-yielding, with a polite habit easily tamed with the use of a standard tomato cage. Good snacking size (6–8 gm) and sweet flavour. It is nice to set near a well-travelled door or path so that you can grab a handful on your way by. It is only recommended for container growing. One plant per 3.5” container.

Flavour is among the best with smooth, soft texture. Very early (69 days) and high yields of 7-9 oz. fruit.” This tomato is also a great choice to be grown in your greenhouse.

Carmen is a sweet Italian pepper. It is early, adaptable, and notably sweet (especially when fully red-ripe) with a shapely tapered silhouette. Carmen begins green, then deepens to a beautiful carmine at maturity. Excellent roasted, grilled and in salads. We have been growing Carmen since 2020; it’s on our repeat list for a reason.

We have been growing Hungarian Hot Wax since 2021. It’s a beauty!
Hungarian Hot Wax is a widely adaptable, productive pepper, even in cool weather. It is a yellow hot pepper with 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" smooth, waxy fruits tapering to a point. It is easy to stuff and to peel after roasting and is thick-fleshed for frying. Its sunset-ripening peppers change from yellow to orange to red and make the prettiest pickled peppers.
This variety also freezes nicely. Any that we are not going to use fresh, we put into the freezer and take out as needed throughout the winter months. They keep well with no effort. We also make pickled peppers and jelly with this variety.

We trialed Red Ember in 2021; it’s a keeper!
This is a versatile and flavourful cayenne. Tremendous flavour on first bite, with warm heat that lingers. Thick enough for a bit of crunch when eaten fresh, but thin enough to dry easily. Just enough heat to satisfy "pepper heads"—who can eat the peppers whole—but mild enough to slice thinly onto a salad. Makes excellent powder, flakes, and hot sauce. Also nice fried or in stir fries. Matures early. High-yielding plants. Fruits avg. 4–4 1/2" long. AAS Winner in 2018.

Czech Black is a new variety for us in 2026. This seed was a gift from my good friend Brenda. The seed was sourced from Annapolis Seeds. This is what Annapolis Seeds has to say about Czech Black: “Sweet, richly flavoured and very mildly hot. Highly ornamental plants with purple-black tinged leaves. They bear a profusion of jalapeno-like peppers, starting shiny black and ripening to an unreal deep red. Makes a great spicy paprika powder.” At the time of writing, the leaves are a very beautiful dark colour on the baby plants. It is easy to spot Czech Black amongst the other pepper varieties.
