2020 California Spring Trials New Edible Varieties 2021 BY JASMINA DOLCE In June and July, we reported on the new ornamental introductions that made their debut during the virtual California Spring Trials this year. This month, we're sharing the new home-garden crops to add to your vegetable production! Tomato 'Siam' PanAmerican Seed 'Siam' is part of the new Kitchen Minis collection of potted vegetable plants that consumers can grow inside on a sunny windowsill or counter without a garden. This versatile variety works in 4.5- to 8-inch containers. On average plants reach 7 to 9 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide, making it manageable in shipping. Snack pea 'Snak Hero' Syngenta Flowers 'Snak Hero' creates a whole new produce category - snack pea. It presents succulent, slender, 4-inch pods that are easier to hold for a sweet healthy treat. Pods are stringless and perfect for garden fresh snacking, stir fry or freezing for later. Tomato 'Tasti-Wee' Burpee New to the BOOST collection, this crack-resistant tomato contains 40% more lycopene than similar types, which helps protect against cell damage. It is full of flavor with good disease resistance. 24 AUGUST 2020 GPNMAG.COM forhttp://www.GPNMAG.COM
