In row spacing is 3\" with 8\" between rows. Soaking seeds for 2-4 hours can quicken germination time. When they are first germinating, cowpeas seem to have more tender and tasty leaves and can be particularly vulnerable to earwigs and sow bugs who seem to love munching them. For this reason, don’t use mulch like leaves or straw around cowpeas. Bare soil is best as sow bugs and earwigs thrive in mulch. If ear wigs are a problem in your area, planting a little early can help. Though cowpeas are not hardy, you can cover them with row cover if temperatures dip and beat the earwigs by planting before these heat loving pests emerge. Cowpeas eventually outgrow this vulnerability and are quite easy to grow in general. Their umbrella like leaves shade the soil, and they can get by on less water and nutrients than other beans, so plant them in a “tough” part of the garden where more “needy” crops don’t want to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can harvest cowpeas green when they are young and cook them like snap beans.

Traditional tepary bean varieties differ widely and have a days to maturity range of anywhere from 60-120 days. Joseph collected shorter season bush varieties and planted them all together to see which ones grew best and quickest and saved seeds from those for the creation of this landrace. It was a genius idea and project, because many desert areas where tepary beans could thrive also have very short seasons. Drier climates can have huge swings between hot and cold temperatures as there is less moisture in the air to moderate temperatures. Like most other bean species, tepary beans are not frost hardy.

Though there are wet regions like the high altitude cloud forests, there is also an arid “Dry Corridor” covering 45% of the country. Here rainfall is erratic and becoming even more so. Many think the recovery of the teparies could make agriculture in this region more resilient and sustainable. According to Bioversity, in comparison to the common bean, the tepary has a greater tolerance to common bacterial blight and outperforms the common bean by at least 50% in hot environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo in 2018, Bioversity International and researchers from the Universidad de San Carlos set out to find any tepary bean variety still growing in Guatemala. After searching markets and farms extensively, a visit to farmer Señor Arriaga produced the only tepary bean they found.

Traditionally grown without supplemental irrigation in climates that receive 2-5 inches of rain a year, tepary roots are meant to grow very deep to access water held in the soil. They are actually less productive if they are overwatered. If you grow your garden with a uniform amount of irrigation, say from an overhead sprinkler or drip system, try planting them on a border area that gets less water, or at the end of the drip line so you can limit irrigation once the plant is up and growing. We tend to plant it at the end of the drip lines. We can kink the driplines to limit water once the plants are up and growing. Additionally, limiting compost and fertilizers to about 1\/4 of what you are applying to other crops is best as too much fertility will cause them to grow lots of greenery and few beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany varieties will climb a trellis.

We then fold the tarp over and stomp on it to help the seed pods shatter. Next comes winnowing. We lift the contents (dry plant material and seeds all mixed together at this point) and using the wind or a fan, drop the contents to allow the air to blow off the light dry plant material while the heavy seeds fall clean into a tote or bucket. We repeat this process until the seeds are clean and mostly free of debris.

Our winters here are too cold to allow us to grow fava beans over the winter like this, so we need to plant them in spring. This means that they will be growing for at least part of the summer, which can mean being exposed to a lot of heat that they don’t typically like.

Very plump dry pea with unique burgundy wine color, turning chocolate brown when cooked. Dry peas have a rustic, rough feel.  Tall vines 6-7’ in height yield a modest amount of short pods. Later maturing than other dry peas but worth it! Heat sensitive and more productive when planted earlier. Also called ‘Biskopen’ or ‘Bishop’s Grey’.  Yields 15 lbs. per 50 ft. of trellis.  Rare Scandinavian heirloom.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to grow it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"80\" style=\"width: 440px;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: #000000;

heirloom tomatoes that grow in clusters or tresses.  Fruit tresses are strung up at the end of the season and stored at room temperature for fresh eating, ripe and unripe fruit alike.  Fruits have thicker skins than ordinary tomatoes and ripen progressively.  As they dry off the vine like this, their flavor becomes concentrated.  Fruits are great for fresh eating, drying further to sundried tomatoes, and\/or saucing.  If you're into self-sufficiency and eating well in all four seasons, this is the tomato for you.  A great choice for short season climates with long winters!  Read about

Joseph collected shorter season bush varieties and planted them all together to see which ones grew best and quickest and saved seeds from those for the creation of this landrace. It was a genius idea and project, because many desert areas where tepary beans could thrive also have very short seasons. Drier climates can have huge swings between hot and cold temperatures as there is less moisture in the air to moderate temperatures. Like most other bean species, tepary beans are not frost hardy.

However, when they returned in 2016 they were not able to find any tepary variety being grown or sold in markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuatemala is a land of many climates. Though there are wet regions like the high altitude cloud forests, there is also an arid “Dry Corridor” covering 45% of the country. Here rainfall is erratic and becoming even more so. Many think the recovery of the teparies could make agriculture in this region more resilient and sustainable. According to Bioversity, in comparison to the common bean, the tepary has a greater tolerance to common bacterial blight and outperforms the common bean by at least 50% in hot environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo in 2018, Bioversity International and researchers from the Universidad de San Carlos set out to find any tepary bean variety still growing in Guatemala. After searching markets and farms extensively, a visit to farmer Señor Arriaga produced the only tepary bean they found. Señor Arriaga, who also grows more economically valuable crops like common bean and corn, has continued to grow tepary beans purely out of his love for the food, and because it is an easy crop to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, seeds purchased from him have been given to a local seed saver network and provided to a steward farmers to test in plots in the Dry Corridor. There remains a great deal to be done to promote tepary beans’ potential as a source of food for farmers in the Dry Corridor, but thanks to Señor Arriaga there are seeds to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alliancebioversityciat.org\/\"\u003eLearn more about Bioversity, one of the partners in promoting the tepary beans’ recovery in Guatemala, here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/givinggroundseeds.com\/collections\/tepary-beans\"\u003eGrowing tepary beans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe that when you grow tepary beans, wherever you are, you are also contributing to these important movements to save and spread this resilient crop. Because the beans are often eaten cooked as dry beans, when you harvest the food you’re also harvesting the seeds, so saving seeds for the generations to come is happily just built into the process!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo grow them, direct sow seeds after all danger of frost has passed, usually in early June. Do not presoak the beans. If you are in a place with a longer season like the southern United States or Mexico, the traditional planting time of around the summer solstice is best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacement in your garden is probably the most important consideration when it comes to growing them. Traditionally grown without supplemental irrigation in climates that receive 2-5 inches of rain a year, tepary roots are meant to grow very deep to access water held in the soil. They are actually less productive if they are overwatered. If you grow your garden with a uniform amount of irrigation, say from an overhead sprinkler or drip system, try planting them on a border area that gets less water, or at the end of the drip line so you can limit irrigation once the plant is up and growing. We tend to plant it at the end of the drip lines. We can kink the driplines to limit water once the plants are up and growing. Additionally, limiting compost and fertilizers to about 1\/4 of what you are applying to other crops is best as too much fertility will cause them to grow lots of greenery and few beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany varieties will climb a trellis.

We cut the whole plant at the soil level (don’t pull them up by the roots or you risk mixing dirt in with the beans) and let the plants and pods continue drying on a tarp in a protected area out of direct sunlight for a week or so. We then fold the tarp over and stomp on it to help the seed pods shatter. Next comes winnowing. We lift the contents (dry plant material and seeds all mixed together at this point) and using the wind or a fan, drop the contents to allow the air to blow off the light dry plant material while the heavy seeds fall clean into a tote or bucket. We repeat this process until the seeds are clean and mostly free of debris.

Lofthouse of Landrace Garden Seeds in Paradise, Utah.  He wanted a butternut type landrace with some diversity in fruit shape and size, with bright orange nutrient-dense flesh, and that thrived in organic gardens with low fertility.  This landrace is gaining more and more notoriety as a great crop for organic gardens, market farms, and short season climates alike!  We grow it every year, and we just love it!  Super productive, yields an incredible amount of food in a small space.  Tan butternut-shaped fruits vary in size, but are consistently delicious with a reliable butternut flavor.   This landrace shows how appropriate traditional plant breeding can be a tool for a more sustainable, and yet still productive, agricultural future!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about

'Rouge Vif Etampes' pumpkin.  In the first generation, only one fruit matured in our short season climate- and it was a beauty with deep bright orange flesh.  We saved that fruit and planted all of the seeds from it.  The result is this wonderful second generation, full of exciting diversity in outward color and size.  The insides are consistently bright orange, which is was our goal, and excellent in flavor.  Some diversity in texture, but all string less, smooth, and delicious.  Diverse populations are excellent to grow if you want to try your hands at plant breeding.  Simply grow a good amount and select those fruits which do well to save seeds from.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow to grow

Traditional tepary bean varieties differ widely and have a days to maturity range of anywhere from 60-120 days. Joseph collected shorter season bush varieties and planted them all together to see which ones grew best and quickest and saved seeds from those for the creation of this landrace. It was a genius idea and project, because many desert areas where tepary beans could thrive also have very short seasons. Drier climates can have huge swings between hot and cold temperatures as there is less moisture in the air to moderate temperatures. Like most other bean species, tepary beans are not frost hardy.

However, when they returned in 2016 they were not able to find any tepary variety being grown or sold in markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuatemala is a land of many climates. Though there are wet regions like the high altitude cloud forests, there is also an arid “Dry Corridor” covering 45% of the country. Here rainfall is erratic and becoming even more so. Many think the recovery of the teparies could make agriculture in this region more resilient and sustainable. According to Bioversity, in comparison to the common bean, the tepary has a greater tolerance to common bacterial blight and outperforms the common bean by at least 50% in hot environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo in 2018, Bioversity International and researchers from the Universidad de San Carlos set out to find any tepary bean variety still growing in Guatemala. After searching markets and farms extensively, a visit to farmer Señor Arriaga produced the only tepary bean they found. Señor Arriaga, who also grows more economically valuable crops like common bean and corn, has continued to grow tepary beans purely out of his love for the food, and because it is an easy crop to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, seeds purchased from him have been given to a local seed saver network and provided to a steward farmers to test in plots in the Dry Corridor. There remains a great deal to be done to promote tepary beans’ potential as a source of food for farmers in the Dry Corridor, but thanks to Señor Arriaga there are seeds to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alliancebioversityciat.org\/\"\u003eLearn more about Bioversity, one of the partners in promoting the tepary beans’ recovery in Guatemala, here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/givinggroundseeds.com\/collections\/tepary-beans\"\u003eGrowing tepary beans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe that when you grow tepary beans, wherever you are, you are also contributing to these important movements to save and spread this resilient crop. Because the beans are often eaten cooked as dry beans, when you harvest the food you’re also harvesting the seeds, so saving seeds for the generations to come is happily just built into the process!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo grow them, direct sow seeds after all danger of frost has passed, usually in early June. Do not presoak the beans. If you are in a place with a longer season like the southern United States or Mexico, the traditional planting time of around the summer solstice is best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacement in your garden is probably the most important consideration when it comes to growing them. Traditionally grown without supplemental irrigation in climates that receive 2-5 inches of rain a year, tepary roots are meant to grow very deep to access water held in the soil. They are actually less productive if they are overwatered. If you grow your garden with a uniform amount of irrigation, say from an overhead sprinkler or drip system, try planting them on a border area that gets less water, or at the end of the drip line so you can limit irrigation once the plant is up and growing. We tend to plant it at the end of the drip lines. We can kink the driplines to limit water once the plants are up and growing. Additionally, limiting compost and fertilizers to about 1\/4 of what you are applying to other crops is best as too much fertility will cause them to grow lots of greenery and few beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany varieties will climb a trellis.

We cut the whole plant at the soil level (don’t pull them up by the roots or you risk mixing dirt in with the beans) and let the plants and pods continue drying on a tarp in a protected area out of direct sunlight for a week or so. We then fold the tarp over and stomp on it to help the seed pods shatter. Next comes winnowing. We lift the contents (dry plant material and seeds all mixed together at this point) and using the wind or a fan, drop the contents to allow the air to blow off the light dry plant material while the heavy seeds fall clean into a tote or bucket. We repeat this process until the seeds are clean and mostly free of debris. For the final step, we use screens to help remove smaller, less developed seeds, but you could also do this by simply picking out the debris and smaller seeds that the winnowing process did not remove\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking with tepary beans:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/givinggroundseeds.com\/collections\/tepary-beans\"\u003eTepary beans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e hold more protein per ounce than common beans like kidney or pinto!

also known as winter tomatoes and piennolo tomatoes (in Italy), refers to a class of Mediterranean heirloom tomatoes that grow in clusters or tresses.  Fruit tresses are strung up at the end of the season and stored at room temperature for fresh eating, ripe and unripe fruit alike.  Fruits have thicker skins than ordinary tomatoes and ripen progressively.  As they dry off the vine like this, their flavor becomes concentrated.  Fruits are great for fresh eating, drying further to sundried tomatoes, and\/or saucing.  If you're into self-sufficiency and eating well in all four seasons, this is the tomato for you.  A great choice for short season climates with long winters!  Read about this traditional Mediterranean method for storing tomatoes \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(132, 107,

These varieties deserve preservation not just because they each have a great story, but because the futures of our evolving food crops depend on a rich well of genetic diversity with which they can continually adapt, and be adapted by plant breeders, to thrive in changing conditions.  In the case of our food crops, the unfavorable conditions leading to a decrease in diversity are many, but one we can immediately address is the decrease in the number of people growing these crops and saving these seeds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA small kitchen garden really can change the

cultural significance, this tomato has been chosen to board the Slow Food Ark of Taste.  The Slow Food Ark of Taste is where \"culinary heritage meets biodiversity.\"  Varieties placed on the \"ark\" are those whose rich history and cultural significance is well documented, yet whose existence is threatened simply by the lack of people growing and perpetuating it.  Varieties of crops, like species of plants and animals, can (and do) go extinct from lack of habitat and unfavorable conditions. These varieties deserve preservation not just because they each have a great story, but because the futures of our evolving food crops depend on a rich well of genetic diversity with which they can continually adapt, and be adapted by plant breeders, to thrive in changing conditions.  In the case of our food crops, the unfavorable conditions leading to a decrease in diversity are many, but one we can immediately address is the decrease in the number of people growing these crops and saving these seeds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA small kitchen garden really can change the world!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca

In row spacing is 3\" with 8\" between rows. Soaking seeds for 2-4 hours can quicken germination time. When they are first germinating, cowpeas seem to have more tender and tasty leaves and can be particularly vulnerable to earwigs and sow bugs who seem to love munching them. For this reason, don’t use mulch like leaves or straw around cowpeas. Bare soil is best as sow bugs and earwigs thrive in mulch. If ear wigs are a problem in your area, planting a little early can help. Though cowpeas are not hardy, you can cover them with row cover if temperatures dip and beat the earwigs by planting before these heat loving pests emerge. Cowpeas eventually outgrow this vulnerability and are quite easy to grow in general. Their umbrella like leaves shade the soil, and they can get by on less water and nutrients than other beans, so plant them in a “tough” part of the garden where more “needy” crops don’t want to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can harvest cowpeas green when they are young and cook them like snap beans.

For this, simply let the pods dry down on the plant and harvest them when they are close to fully dry but before the pods shatter and scatter the seeds to the ground. Winnow the dry pods free from the beans by using a fan or the wind to blow off the pods and chaff, allowing the heavy beans to drop into a bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Cowpeas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple cooking of dry cowpeas is so easy!

In row spacing is 3\" with 8\" between rows. Soaking seeds for 2-4 hours can quicken germination time. When they are first germinating, cowpeas seem to have more tender and tasty leaves and can be particularly vulnerable to earwigs and sow bugs who seem to love munching them. For this reason, don’t use mulch like leaves or straw around cowpeas. Bare soil is best as sow bugs and earwigs thrive in mulch. If ear wigs are a problem in your area, planting a little early can help. Though cowpeas are not hardy, you can cover them with row cover if temperatures dip and beat the earwigs by planting before these heat loving pests emerge. Cowpeas eventually outgrow this vulnerability and are quite easy to grow in general. Their umbrella like leaves shade the soil, and they can get by on less water and nutrients than other beans, so plant them in a “tough” part of the garden where more “needy” crops don’t want to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can harvest cowpeas green when they are young and cook them like snap beans.

For this, simply let the pods dry down on the plant and harvest them when they are close to fully dry but before the pods shatter and scatter the seeds to the ground. Winnow the dry pods free from the beans by using a fan or the wind to blow off the pods and chaff, allowing the heavy beans to drop into a bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Cowpeas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple cooking of dry cowpeas is so easy!
