This was an especially good year for peppers (those that survived the seedling stage anyhow) and corn in the garden in Kanab, Utah. Deer wrecked havoc on the melons, though with covering fruits with perforated bags, we were able to harvest seeds from 42 varieties. Earwigs and other pests devastated most of the bean seedlings, so we only managed to save enough seeds from 11 of the 55 varieties we planted. The list of tomato varieties for 2016 was published in a previous blog post on October 31st.
At last count (today, 11-20-2016), I have 13,366 pictures (of about 50,000 total) still to name and process, along with more than 2,000 descriptions to write, including researching histories. Some day I will catch up, maybe…
All seeds can be ordered from: DT Store – Everything Else

Plus one intriguing new. unique variety that just did not get time to mature in the field: seeds not planted until June 30, 2016 and killing frost came on September 4th, just as blossoms were about to open –
ENJOYA
A beautiful, orange and red striped or streaked, thick-walled bell pepper with tasty, crisp, sweet flavor. My understanding is that this came from Holland and is the first striped bell pepper developed. I will be glad to send you 5 or 6 seeds from this specimen at no charge with any seed order ( www.delectationoftomatoes.com ) while supplies last – just let me know by email after you place an order. I got 100% germination from these seeds, but I can make no guarantee that they will produce true to type (this may be a hybrid). I do not sell seeds raised by other, but occasionally I share them at no charge. I have three plants growing indoors which I have been hand-pollinating. There are small pods, but plants are struggling and I just don’t know if I will be able to get viable seeds or not — by February perhaps?
There is a beautiful striped hot pepper that has been in my inventory for several years,
