What better way to melt the snow than a cozy read through garden catalogs with all their promise of mouth-watering produce for the coming season! Here’s a look at just a few of the new vegetable seed offerings for 2010. Try a few alongside your old standby favorites so that you can compare performance in your garden.<\/p>\n

Basil ‘Amethyst Improved’ is a dark purple basil with large, thick, curled-down leaves similar to the classic variety Genovese, but on a compact plant reaching just 16-20 inches. 60 days. (Jo)<\/p>\n

Beet ‘Taunus’ boasts 6-7 inch long deep purple-red cylinders of firm, sweet, juicy flesh, with paper-thin skins. These beets were made for slicing! The young tops are great for beet greens. 65 days. (C, Ju)<\/p>\n

Brussels Sprouts ‘Churchill’ is an early producer of large, smooth sprouts on a vigorous stocky plant. 90 days. (Jo)<\/p>\n

Bush Bean ‘Beananza’ is a new dwarf French bean that bears slender, 7-inch stringless filet beans for several pickings through summer. Pick them regularly to keep them producing. 55 days (B)<\/p>\n

Cucumber ‘Sultan’ is a beit alpha-type cuke (seedless, sets fruit without pollination), dark green, spineless, thin-skinned with good disease resistance. Pick early for mini cukes. 56 days. (Jo)<\/p>\n

Lettuce ‘Flying Saucer’ Series is a blend of deep-green, red and yellow frisee lettuces with crisped, ruffled leaves. Although this new series is resistant to tip burn, it is still best grown as a cool-season crop. 50 days. (B)<\/p>\n

Lettuce ‘Skyphos’ is a large, butterhead-type, dark red with contrasting green centers. 47 days. (Jo)
\nMuskmelon ‘Sugar Cube’ is a personal-sized mini melon with sweet, deep orange flesh on disease-resistant plants. 80 Days. (S)<\/p>\n

Okra ‘Millionaire’ is a fast-growing, vigorous producer; pick pods when 3-4 inches long and keep them picked frequently. The lovely large lemon-yellow flowers are also edible and can be stuffed or used as a garnish. 50 days. (Jo)<\/p>\n

Pepper ‘Dulce’ is classified as a sweet pepper, but sports jalapeno flavor and appearance, but without the heat. 65 days green, 85 days red ripe. (Jo, S)<\/p>\n

Tomato ‘Big Pink’ is a medium-sized (8-10 oz.) tomato with rosy smooth skin on moderate-sized plants. Indeterminate. 75 days. (B)<\/p>\n

Tomato ‘Red Pearl’ bears large, grape-type fruits with tender skin and few seeds. Plants have high resistance to fusarium wilt, intermediate resistance to late blight. Indeterminate. 58 days. (Jo)<\/p>\n

Tomato ‘Tye-Dye’ is a unique new bicolor gold-and-red hybrid promising to deliver heirloom flavor similar to Big Rainbow, Pineapple and Georgia Streak, but with bigger yields, consistent form and better disease resistance. The 7-ounce orange fruits are marbled with red streaks. Indeterminate. 78 days. (B)<\/p>\n

Tomato ‘Orange Wellington’ is a large, 12-ounce bright orange fruit with nearly seedless flesh. Indeterminate. 75 days. (B)<\/p>\n

Zucchini Squash ‘Green Tiger’ bears 8-inch long, cylindrical fruits with striking alternating stripes of dark and light green. 55\u201360 days. (B)<\/p>\n
