A small family-run seed farm on Irelands west coast

We hand save seeds from vegetables that have been grown, harvested and packaged on our organic farm.
We grow the variety "Schönbrunner Gold" which was developed at the Horticultural Research Institute in Schönbrunn, Austria.

We find the flavour outstanding and the fruit look amazing in their cocoons.

A great variety we highly recommend.

My mistake was that I did not sew the mesh in the bottom together with steel thread. I assumed that the mesh lying flat on the ground with compost on top would be held in place. I was outsmarted by a rat. The little terrorist excavated under the cage and FOLDED the metal seem so he could get in…

Final thoughts.

It was a very easy crop to grow and would suit a less active gardener as well as anyone looking for some variation in vegetables. The appearance is more exotic than the slightly mild flavours. But we will grow this crop again.

Picture 3-4 cooked

Fat baby: similar to bell peppers when cooked. The seeds of the young plant looked very nice when cut in half. Good as cooked and possibly good to pickle.

Lady’s Slipper: Thiner walls than the Fat baby and the flesh curled nicely. Good to cook, but perhaps even better to pickle?
