“A mixture of seeds works well that way if some don't work, others will, and there is something to put on the table. Some of our seeds are organic; most are conventional and hybrids. We also use open pollinated; that way we can save the seeds for plants such as peppers and tomatoes and have fresh seeds every year. We use heirloom seeds from around the United States for some of our tomatoes and peppers; however, heirloom plants do not grow as well, as the weather does affect them, lowering productions. They split, and with too much rain, the blooms do not set.” — Jose Medina, Santa Cruz Produce, Westmoreland County; offering fruits and vegetables; production practices: integrated pest management and extended growing season.
