New seeds for 2016

I just ordered my seeds today. My list kept getting longer instead of shorter. I did try to cut back a bit

From Johhny's Seed:

tigress zucchini
Parthenon zucchini
Mellow Star Pepper
Carmen pepper

From High Mowing Organic Seeds:

Cinnamon basil
Thai basil
Eleonora Basil
White Russian Kale
Corno di Toro pepper
Joe E Parker Anaheim pepper
Santo Cilantro

From TGN Pumpkin Nook
Detroit dark red beets
Bull's Blood beets
Siberian Kale
Baby Romaine
Anaheim Chili
Pepper, Mini belle Mix
Hungarian yellow wax pepper
Habanero
Poblano
Table King acorn squash
Tomato, amana orange
alyssum, carpet of snow
calendula, Pacific beauty
Lemon balm
Borage

From Baker Seeds

Japanese white eggplant
quinoa, brightest brilliant
dwarf Siberian kale
Ragged Jack Kale
Caribbean red habanero
Hungarian hot wax
Rooster spur pepper
scotch bonnet yellow pepper
Trinidad Scorpion
Charleston Belle pepper
Corno di toro Rosso pepper
Emerald Giant Pepper
Jimmy Nardello Italian Pepper
Red Belgian Pepper

I have to find room for a few more seeds in my frig. Some of the pepper seeds are similar and vary only by cultivar, but I wanted to see if it makes a difference. I know Carmen is good. Hungarian wax can be hot or a banana pepper. Charleston belle might do better in my climate since it is nematode resistant and a southern pepper.

I also cut back on my new varieties this year. Had too many eggplant and peppers last year, if that's possible! Tomatoes are the ones I loaded up on, but that was because I already had maybe 7 or 8 of, but then I got some in trades. Don't mind the # and * - that's notes for me showing which will have at least one in an Earthbox and the new ones in misc. veggies.

Here are the new varieties:
