The Yellow Brandywine Tomato is just like the Pink Brandywine Tomato, except it’s yellow. Like siblings, these tomatoes probably shouldn’t be compared, but they really are ditto each other—ribbed shoulders, potato-leaf foliage, small seed core, sweet and tangy slicer, 1-2 lb fruits with no two alike. Except it’s yellow. And ripens a little sooner.

If you’re looking for the Chile Relleno pepper, you’ve found it. Except it goes by the name of Poblano. Prolific plants put out muchos 4"-8" thick-skinned, tapered fruits that start out a deep dark green with mild heat and earthy flavor. That’s when this pepper (chile) is most often roasted, peeled, and stuffed full (relleno) of meat and cheese. Let it ripen on the vine and the color changes to a deep dark brownish-red that’s much spicier. Or dry it, and you’ll have an Ancho pepper to flake or powder. This one will keep your oven busy all summer long.

The Fresno Chili Pepper is a fun one to follow as it grows. The immature green fruit starts out pointing upward, and has a green, grassy flavor with mild heat. As the color changes through orange to bright red, the fruit hangs down, and the flavor changes to smoky and fruity with a bit more heat than a Jalapeño. These 3" tapered peppers are large enough to stuff, and small enough to pickle. Traditionally used to liven up ceviche, but it’s okay to grill that fish instead and make tacos topped with Fresno chili sauce. Excellent for roasting on the BBQ - or even pickling.

Exotic and rare, the Purple Tiger Pepper draws you to its lair with foliage in variegated colors of white, green, and purple.

• Giant "Teddy Bear" type sunflower
  
  - Seven to eight inch bold yellow flowers
  
  - Plants grow to 6 feet tall
  
  - Easy to grow

The Sunspot (Dwarf) sunflower, scientifically known as Helianthus annuus, is a popular choice among gardeners seeking to add vibrant color and visual interest to their outdoor spaces. This particular variety is characterized by its compact growth habit, typically reaching heights of 12 to 24 inches, making it ideal for smaller gardens or container planting.

One of the most notable features of the Sunspot sunflower is its large, round flower heads, which can measure up to 8 inches in diameter. These striking blooms are composed of bright yellow petals surrounding a central disc filled with seeds, attracting a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. In fact, studies have shown that sunflowers can increase pollinator activity in gardens by up to 50%, enhancing the overall biodiversity of the area.

In terms of cultivation, the Sunspot sunflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. It is essential to provide adequate spacing, typically 12 to 18 inches apart, to allow for proper air circulation and growth. The Sunspot sunflower is also known for its resilience, exhibiting a tolerance to drought conditions once established, which can be beneficial in regions with variable rainfall.

From a nutritional perspective, the seeds produced by the Sunspot sunflower are rich in essential fatty acids, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. They can be harvested for consumption or left in the garden to provide food for birds during the winter months. Approximately 30% of the seed's weight is composed of oil, making it a valuable crop for both ornamental and agricultural purposes.

In addition to their aesthetic and ecological benefits, Sunspot sunflowers can also serve as effective companions in vegetable gardens. Their tall, sturdy stems can provide support for climbing plants, while their presence can deter certain pests. Research indicates that planting sunflowers alongside crops such as tomatoes and peppers can reduce pest populations by up to 20%, promoting healthier plant growth.

In summary, the Sunspot (Dwarf) sunflower is a versatile and beneficial addition to any garden. Its compact size, striking appearance, and ability to attract pollinators make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
