We haven't set the date yet for this year's -- we'll see how the weather goes -- but right now we're guessing that it'll *probably* be Saturday, August 24th.

Here's tentative list for now -- a lot of these are ones we trialed last year, we're looking at them again since it was so wet last summer and we wanted a better look at them! We'll be adding some to this list, depending on what friends and neighbors bring.

*Alston Everlasting -- red slicing (seed crop being grown out for -- will be in 2020 catalog)
Amish Paste -- red sauce
Black Cherry -- black cherry
Cherokee Purple -- purple slicing
Djena Lee's Golden Girl -- gold slicing
*Don’s Double Delight – gold/red slicing
Dwarf Emerald Giant (dwarf) -- green slicing
*Everglades – pink-red cherry (seed crop being grown out for -- will be in 2021 catalog) (seed has some dormancy issues, will take 1-2 years to pass germination tests!)
Garden Peach -- yellow slicing
Geranium Kiss (dwarf) -- red slicing
Green Zebra -- green/yellow slicing
Hege German Pink -- pink slicing
Illinois Beauty -- pink slicing
*Ivan – red slicing
Joe Thieneman Australian Heart -- red slicing

OTV Brandywine -- orange-red slicing
*Pear-Shaped Cherry (dwarf) – red cherry
Purple Bumble Bee – purple/green cherry
*Salvaterra’s Select – red paste
San Marzano -- red paste
*Summer Sweet Gold (dwarf) -- gold slicing (seed crop being grown out for -- will be in 2020 catalog)
Super Italian Paste -- red paste
*TOMI 1815 -- red slicing
Williams Striped -- gold/red slicing
Yellow Centiflor – yellow cherry

* = not in current (2019) SESE catalog


Also, we'll have a *lot* of interesting sweet peppers + spice peppers + hot peppers -- will post the list of those later this summer when we get close to the date! We're trialing a couple of Craig's lavender sweet peppers, hope to have those at the tasting...
