  • Variety Guide: 2021
    Variety Guide: 2021 A note on where we source our seeds We are fortunate to have a long-standing relationship with Johnny’s Selected Seeds, an employee-owned company based out of Maine. All of the seeds we get in bulk to redistribute to you at Winter Meeting and many of the seeds we grow into seedlings come from Johnny’s. They specialize in plant breeding (non-GMO), research, and seed production using both conventional and organic methods. A number of the varieties we provide are actually developed by Johnny’s – they will be marked in this guide as “Bred by Johnny’s”. Johnny’s has a wealth of helpful educational resources in their Grower’s Library, and you can type variety names into the search bar on their website to find more growing information. This year we are excited to source a significant number of varieties from local seed company Truelove Seeds. Truelove offers rare, open pollinated, and culturally important vegetable, herb, and flower seeds grown by more than 20 small-scale urban and rural farmers committed to community food sovereignty, cultural preservation, and sustainable agriculture – many of them are based in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Through this collaboration, growers share their own seeds and stories and bring in extra financial support for the important work they do building community sovereignty through agroecology. Scrolling through Truelove’s online catalogue is an incredible experience because along with growing and harvesting information, many variety descriptions include stories behind the seeds, cooking recommendations, and growers’ sentiments on their relationship to the plants.

  • Casey's Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie
    Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie Seeds for 2006 Jeffrey Casey [email protected] Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie page 1/22 Introduction It is with great pleasure that I offer the following heirloom tomato seed catalogue for your perusal. My love for growing vegetables has grown exponentially from my first miniscule plot out behind my teachers’ housing unit in a small town in Hokkaido, Japan to my current garden in which I grew 85 different tomato varieties last year. Growing heirloom tomatoes has turned me into a passionate hobbyist so much so that I firmly believe that others should also grow them and this provided the genesis for this catalogue. The exact definition of an heirloom tomato may evoke controversy amongst some growers but I prefer to think of a heirloom as “something of value that can be passed on to the next generation”. Our forefathers practised diligently the time honoured tradition of saving the seed from the harvest to be planted again the following year. It is precisely because someone took the time to save the seed A single days’ harvest for a variety they thought was delicious enough to grow the following year that I am able to offer a wide range of heirloom tomatoes in terms of shapes, sizes, colours, flavours and textures. I have tried my utmost to research the history of each variety and provide it for you, however, some varietal histories are unfortunately lost in time. I have done my utmost to ensure the purity of my seeds that I offer by bagging the blossoms and fermenting the seeds.

  • Stability and Availability Of
    EFFICIENCY OF COATING PROCESS AND REAL-TIME VOLATILE RELEASE IN TOMATILLO AND TOMATO Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yichi Xu, M.S. Graduate Program in Food Science & Technology The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Sheryl Barringer, Advisor Dr. David B. Min Dr. V.M. Balasubramaniam Dr. John Litchfield © Copyright by YICHI XU 2009 ABSTRACT Fifteen food powders were coated on aluminum targets at 0, + 25, and –25 kV using corona electrostatic coating at 20% to 80% relative humidity (RH). The effect of RH on 3 losses, that is, targeting loss, coating loss, and transportation loss, which contribute to coating efficiency, was studied. RH had no effect on targeting loss in either nonelectrostatic or electrostatic coating. In nonelectrostatic coating, increasing RH increased coating loss for powders with particle size ≥ 297 μm, but had no effect on powders ≤ 227 μm. Large powders were free-flowing and clumped with increasing RH, and then rolled off the targets, resulting in high coating loss. RH had no effect on nonelectrostatic transportation loss for all powders, except for very high absolute humidity when capillary forces dominated. Electrostatic charging efficiency and powder resistivity decreased with increasing RH. Electrostatic coating loss for salts increased with increasing RH. At high RH, powder resistivity decreases, increasing the charge decay rate, which decreases electrostatic adhesion. Electrostatic coating loss for powders other than salts, whose resistivities are much higher than salts, was not affected by RH until 80% RH. Electrostatic transportation loss for powders other than proteins was not affected by RH.
