Tomatoes: Striped German & Brandywine
Peppers: Lady Bell
Beans: Provider
Potatoes: a volunteer red that came up in our leaf pile.
Beets: Early Wonder Tall Top
Garlic: German White from Cayuga (planted only one variety this year, but it was the biggest producer and largest bulbs we've had in recent years - very strong too)
Sunflowers: Mammoth Russian that have reseeded themselves for two years. Largest head was 1'3". Largest plant was about 8'9".

Evverything else we planted only one variety of.

I had the most enormous marigolds from a wildflower mixture I seeded. 4' high and blossoms up to 4-5" across! Found out they were a variety called Tagetes erecta "Sunset". Not a big marigold fan, but these are worth saving the seed.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices. To be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the frightened, thoughtless search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own: for the children, and the children yet unborn."
