Melon, Galina, (80 days)   Cucumis melo In Ancient Greek myths Galina was one of the Nereids, (or sea Nymphs, who accompanied Poisiedon) and was known as the goddess of calm seas. Eating and savoring this melon may just as well make you feel like you have been enchanted by the Nereids. Galina is an intentional cross between two excellent melons, the Israeli open pollinated Haogen, (listed above) and the wonderful Galia (an F1 hybrid). Still in the stabilization process (this is the F5), variability is possible, however, the off-types are still tasty. The exterior is bright gold with green stripes and some netting with green flesh. It is highly aromatic and very sweet and quite tropical- tasting with hints of pineapple and butterscotch. The goal with this breeding project is to have a melon with the eating quality of Haogen, and the durability of the netted skin of Galia. OSSI Pedged.

Tops are dense almost fluffy looking clusters of small seeds that grow from 4-10” long. Tops droop in a form that resembles a foxes tail. Lovely waving growth characteristic when caught by a breeze in the garden.  From our friends at Adaptive Seeds who obtained it while on their Seed Ambassadors Project by The Lithuanian Ministry of Agriculture in Dotnuva, Lithuania, who wrote that “the breeder there had been working with millets since long before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the birds at the zoo prefer his varieties.”  Foxtail millet has a hull which is quite difficult to remove and as such used for the applications above more often than human consumption. Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies".

Purple Sunrise  Raphanus sativus  (30 days) The project began as a friendly challenge between Dr. John Navazio and Don Tipping after a seed grow out of Plum Purple radish and noticing some off types that were more elongated.

John's idea was to make selections from Plum Purple off types, while Don chose the path of crossing Plum Purple with French Breakfast and selecting from there. This is an ongoing project to stabilize a cross between Plum purple and French Breakfast radishes. Begun in 2017, it still produces an occasional off type (as red seems genetically dominant to purple) but is close to the goal of elongated purple and white crisp tasty roots.
