Buffalo (Coyote) gourd – Rare, wild vine, drought resistant, widely adaptable
Buffalo gourds (Cucurbita foetidissima) are native to the Chihuahuan Desert and grow throughout the high deserts of New Mexico. The fruits can be used in a variety of ways. The seeds are edible (roasted like pumpkin seeds) and much of the rest of the plant is a potent insecticide and also has medicinal value. (I’ll send more information with your seed order.) This desert-dwelling gourd can be grown as an ornamental ground cover and thrive in very tough conditions. A single spawling vine with its fuzzy blue-gray green leaves and bright yellow squash-like blossoms can cover 400 square feet. We grow Buffalo gourds for fall decorations because the 3 inch, hard-shelled fruit keeps its beautiful color for six months or more. Traditionally, the fruits were carved or painted as decorative vessels or rattles. An artist can turn these hard-shelled gourds into a variety of ornamental objects. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Calavados – luscious bronze tomatoes bred in Ukraine
Calvados is the work of Ukrainian breeders.. The vigorous, bushy plants provide good cover for the numerous, thin-skinned, rich brown tomatoes. The fruit averages a little over 8 ounces. Flavor is typical of black tomatoes – earthy and spicy. 68 days. 40 seeds per packet.
Cal Red and Green – Unique combination of colors and great flavor!
The iridescent green stripes on this heirloom tomato make quite a contrast with the underlying dark red skin. There are few tomatoes in the garden this handsome. The variety is very productive as well and the dense flesh is juicy, wild and tangy – perfect for salads. The fruit averages about 2 1/2 inches and is borne in clusters of 3 or 4 on a 5 foot tree-type plant. (65-70 days to maturity) 35+ seeds per packet
