Stokes Seeds
 |
| Chioggia Beets - I've grown these before, typical beet flavour, but unique colour. |
 |
| Purple Haze Carrots - grown before, but great novelty and flavour |
 |
| Bolero Carrot - great standby maincrop carrot. |
 |
| Romanesco Veronica - one of our new favourite vegetables |
 |
| Vitaeverde Cauliflower - bought some in the store this fall, and were impressed - first attempt at growing. |
 |
| Oklahoma Mixed Zinnia - time to put zinnias back into the gardens as an annual |
 |
| Sun King Sunflower - going to plant in the back of the flower beds in clumps |
Veseys Seeds
 |
| Tavor Artichoke - grew many years ago, but this is bred to be an annual - have to wait and see. |
 |
| Asparagus Pea - grew once before - can't remember what it was like - looks neat. |
 |
| Wild Bunch Squash - always fascinated by what novelty varieties are out there. |
 |
| Orion Fennel - grew last year, most impressed |
 |
| Knuckle Head Pumpkin - looks like fun, warts and all |
 |
| Carmine Rose Butterfly Flower - I think this is the same plant I spied growing wild a couple of places this summer, which I intende to mark and save seed (but didn't) - wild marsh milkweed, I believe. |
 |
| Double Dandy Red Sunflower - more tall backdrops for the perennial bed. |
 |
| Orange Sun Sunflower, ditto above. |

Interesting selection of plants. I'm still waiting for Halifax seeds and Van Dam seeds to send me their catalogues,but I have been pouring over the catalogues I already have. I caved yesterday and ordered some primrose seed from Thomson and Morgan.
ReplyDeleteTry some Dreamland Zinnia..Coral or Scarlet..you will not be disappointed. Yes that Milkweed is a wildflower...I have a hard time getting any seeds..cause the Monarchs eat all my plants..I strew Milkweed seed every year if I can find it! Sometimes I get it out of the ditch before they come along with the big mowers.:)
ReplyDeleteThey look like some wonderful plants for next year. I will be curious to watch the time span of your growing season. In the spring it all starts up again.
