“Growing your own produce at home is a labor of love, and now gardeners of all levels can reap the benefits even more with our Colossal Collection seed varieties,” said Rebecca Sears, CMO & Resident Green Thumb for Ferry-Morse. “Whether you want to spice up your signature dish with the heat of our exclusive Super Nacho Jalapeño Peppers, share an abundance of crispy green beans with friends and family or simply impress your neighbors with a state fair-worthy pumpkin, our Colossal Collection offers huge possibility for homegrown meals this spring.”

The Colossal Collection offers five different produce varieties, including:

  • The Big Dill Cucumber – a superior hybrid variety known for its long, slender shape, each cucumber boasts a delightful sweetness and crispness perfect for pickling. Growing 8 to 18 inches long, these cucumbers are sure to be a “big dill” for your culinary creations.
  • Jack’s Magic Pole Beans – a quick-growing early crop that produces 2x more harvest compared to the average garden bean, gardeners can feature these beans for a variety of fresh side dishes at any summer cookout – after all, there’s plenty to go around!
  • Super Nacho Jalapeño Peppers – a hybrid pepper variety that can grow to be double the length of a typical jalapeño pepper, at 6 to 7 inches long, each pepper provides a seemingly endless supply of nacho wheels – perfect for adding some jalapeño heat to a summer salsa or a cocktail.
  • Beefed Up Beefsteak Tomato – a premium variety that produces robust and flavorful beefsteak tomatoes as much as double the average size. Ideal for slicing and culinary use, gardeners and home chefs alike can enjoy this hefty variety in sauces, sandwiches, and freshly tossed salads.
  • Sasquatch Butternut Squash – a larger-fruited, vining hybrid variety that produces fruits reaching 5lbs or more, each robust squash boasts a delightful, sweet flavor that can be enjoyed roasted, stuffed or baked into a casserole to satisfy even the biggest of appetites.
  • Cinderella’s Ride Pumpkins – this variety that gives new meaning to the word “colossal,” as each pumpkin can reach up to 500 pounds once grown. Plant in the spring and harvest these remarkable pumpkins just in time for fall recipes or as a statement piece in your landscape design.
