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.

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.

Jojo  Solanum esculentum (70 days)  This variety is worth a story! We received the Johnny's selected seeds catalog and my younger son, Jasper (6 at the time), saw the back cover photo advertising a new hybrid red cherry tomato called "Jasper (F1)". He exclaimed, "Dad, look they have a tomato named after me." So, of course, we had to grow it and it's named after my son's nickname "JoJo". Being a hybrid, it is in the process of being stabilized (F3) into an open pollinated variety, a process which may take a few generations of growing it out. So far what we have seen is a very vigorously growing indeterminate type that definitely needs trellising and produces abundant clusters of small (1/2"), bright red cherry tomatoes that are exceptionally sweet, at least as sweet as the famed Sungold Packet (1/2 g ~ 30 seeds)  ...
