Amkha Seed

WE'RE MOVING! We're moving to a much larger location! We have big plans in the coming years including new varieties, live plants, and tuber offerings. Orders are paused until we've finished relocating. But stick around. The new lineup and website will be even better than ever! https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1btpOHCPd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Solanum cheesmaniae is one of several wild tomato species we’re working with in our breeding program. Originating from the Galapagos Islands, it has a large bushy habit and produces very small, but extremely flavorful dark orange fruits. Over several years we’ve successfully incorporated several traits from Solanum cheesmanaie, along with other wild species, into many of the new varieties we’re developing. #wildplants #nature #horticulture #permaculture #organicgarden #heirloomtomatoes #vegetables #natural #garden #sustainable #seedsaving #healthy #organic #food #gardening #openpollinated #plants #tomatoes #growyourown #Colorado #heritage #seeds #amkhaseed #sowsomething (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KueJiAu4t/?igshid=1jcq4mv8zoxsd

Here’s another tomato variety we’re developing. Still has a few generations to go before it’s stabilized, but has excellent flavor and has displayed excellent disease resistance, high yields, and requires very few inputs. Any ideas for a good name are appreciated. #horticulture #organic #tomatoes #garden #sustainable #varieties #foodforest #seedsaving #farmtotable #homesteading #heirloom #permaculture #survival #gardening #plants #selfreliance #growyourown #Colorado #seeds #amkhaseed (at Westminster, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5dKsAFUvg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zxm75enrgus9

Here's another pepper variety we're developing. 2-3 foot tall sturdy plants are productive, show good disease resistance, and require very few inputs. Pods have a pronounced fruity flavor with mild heat, maturing from light green to deep red.

The Chocolate Habanero is best known for its earthy, fruity, and smokey flavor, and for being significantly hotter than most other habanero varieties (roughly 420,000-570,000 SHU). Productive plants yield 2-inch long pods that mature from green to a stunning chocolate/brown. #peppers #hotpeppers #capsicum #organicgardening #foodgarden #vegetablegardening #foodnotlawns #sustainablefood #growyourown #Colorado #natural #seeds #biodiversity #sustainability #agronomy #horticulture #research #amkhaseed https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkNEC5lJ3v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13e6lx2tzfqn6

Here's another pepper cross we're working on. 5-6 inch long sweet, medium-walled pods mature from green to purple/brown. Moderatly tall plants are productive and show good disease resistance. #peppers #genetics #newplants #horticulture #permaculture #sustainableagriculture #gardening #organicgardening #cropresearch #lowinput #natural #agronomy #plantbreeding #seeds #amkhaseed #Colorado https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPUEEClfM3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gozv7hxwsbws

Another eggplant line we’re working with. #eggplant #new-plants #gardening #organic #garden #open-pollinated #vegetables # sustainable #gardens #amkhaseed #foodforest #seeds #genetics

Any guesses? It’s an eggplant line we’re developing. Great flavor, similar to many Asian accessions. #eggplant #newplants #gardening #organic #garden #open-pollinated #vegetables # sustainable #gardens #amkhaseed

Garden Huckleberry ‘Chichiquelite’ (Solanum melanocerasum) is a Mexican garden berry variety originating from western Africa. The ripe dark purple/black berries are great fresh, cooked, or preserved. They’re often used in pies and preserves and are usually heavily sweetened. Unripe green berries contain toxins and should not be eaten. It’s been traditionally grown for centuries and remains popular around the Chichiquelite region near Sonora Mexico where the cooked leaves are often eaten (uncooked leaves contain toxins). Vigorous plants produce large yields, are early to harvest, and require few if any inputs. #sustainablegardens #foodforest #permaculture #eatweeds #natural #solutions #solanum #gardenberry #organic #gardening #rare #seeds #amkhaseed https://www.instagram.com/p/BmCB1Bbly5Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hyniwsggofts

Asparagus Pea ‘Lotus tetragonolobus’, also known as 'winged pea', is an edible podded legume not closely related to peas or asparagus. Cook the young pods and seeds like you would beans. They taste great and can generally tolerate poor soils. #sustainable #vegetable #seeds #organic #gardening #seedsaving #garden #forgotten #rare #permaculture #horticulture #organicgarden #Amkhaseed (at Westminster, Colorado)

‘Sword Leaf’ lettuce is a popular Asian variety. Though it can be eaten fresh, it has a strong lettuce flavor and is usually quickly cooked or stir fried. #lettuce #heirloom #heritage #vegetable #seeds #organic #gardening #seedsaving #sustainability #permaculture #horticulture #Amkhaseed (at Westminster, Colorado)

Tomatoes are self-pollinating, containing both male and female parts in the same flower. This video shows how to prevent self-pollination, and how to cross-pollinate. #horticulture #organic #garden #sustainable #varieties #foodforest #seedsaving #homesteading #permaculture #survival #gardening #plants #selfreliance #growyourown #Colorado #seeds #amkhaseed (at Westminster, Colorado)
