Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

Broccoli, Limba: Fedco calls it "a good home-garden variety with medium beads, good flavor and texture, slow to bolt and decent production of side shoots" 8" heads.

Brussels Sprouts: Gustus

Cabbage
Golden Acre: Early green cabbage averaging 3-5 pounds. 62 days to maturity.
Super Red 80: 3-5 lb heads that resist splitting, 80 days

Celery: Conventional celery is high in the "dirty dozen" list of produce most heavily contaminated with pesticides. Grow your own to be sure you're getting yours pesticide free! An added bonus of growing your own celery: you can cut off stalks as you need them instead of having to harvest the whole head at once. Ventura is the default variety, Redventure seedlings with red stems are also available.

Dr. Carolyn: 1" yellow cherry tomatoes, very productive. 75 days to maturity.
Green Doctors Frosted: Largish, oval green cherry tomatoes that mature to a golden blush. Very productive. 81 days to maturity.
Red Pearl grape tomatoes, meaty and nearly seedless.

Tomatoes, Paste,
Bellstar: 4 oz. round paste tomatoes. They taste good in salads.
