Our plant sale features unique heirloom varieties you won't find elsewhere
Loyal fans have been coming for years for the 75+ varieties of tomatoes and 100+ varieties of peppers, and now you can pick up beans, eggplant, collards, lettuce and other greens, Chinese broccoli, amaranthus and kohlrabi - and strawberries.
But wait there's more! We've also expanded our offerings to include herbs and flowers.
Itching to start planning the garden? The descriptions of plants we sold in 2011 are tantalizing! The selections this year are mostly the same but we'll post soon the updated lists. One special new tomato: the hybrid purple tomato, Indigo Rose, bred for even higher levels of antioxidants.
