Many of us had a very challenging growing year in 2008. One of the attributes we've found so common to true gardeners and farmers is the ability to set aside bad experiences and exclaim "well, there's always next year! ". We 'd like to salute the eternal optimism of those who work with the land and nature and say "here's to a new year of great gardening!".
See if we'll be coming to a seed or gardening show near you! We love to talk about heirlooms!
Note - Due to recent U.S. changes in import regulations, we regret that we cannot ship seeds to the U.S. at this time.
