Seed and Plant Orders 2023

Burpee

Chadwick Cherry tomato 

Borage Borago officinalis - Strictly Medicinal Seeds
Nasturtiums- Empress of India-Strictly Medicinal Seeds  These did well this year, grow again next year from saved seeds.

Will also try Burpee Troika Cream 

White Sage- Western Mugwort, (Artemisia ludoviciana)- Strictly Medicinal Seeds    

Direct sow: White Sage- may be invasive, came on REALLY slowly in the pots. Maybe will do better once it's in the herb bed.

Basil- Burpee

Lavender- This year, try Munstead Lavender from the Hudson Valley Seed Company. These are supposed to be cold hardy lavender. Remember that lavender take two years to establish anyway.

Marigold- Strawberry Blonde- Burpees- Might not be worth the extra cost. PLant from saved seeds.

Seedlings or Crowns

Rhubarb- Chipman's Canada Red Rhubarb Gurney- Order another plant since the first one got eaten by something. It might come up, otherwise, you still want lots anyway! Wait to harvest the second or third year.

Front Slope Seeds to Start

Salvia- Victoria- Burpee-Didn't really do much this year, never flowered. Try again.

Cornflower Blue Boy- Burpee- These came up fast and maybe I waited too long to get them out, they were already flopping over, so they were not strong. These plants are really tall and need supports. Might be a good idea to reuse black wire fencing to give these support.

Zinnia White Wedding- Burpee- Start as many seeds as possible, and then direct sow the rest to separate the "blue" flower sections. Saved some seeds from last years flowers. We'll see how well that works!

White Yarrow- Achillea Millefolium- Outside Pride Didn't really do much this year, never flowered. Try again.

Veronica Spiked Speedwell- Outside Pride- Didn't really do much this year, never flowered. Try again.

Salvia Black and Blue Salvia guaranitica -  Truly blue flowers

Perovskia atriplicifolia- Russian Sage (4)

Delphinium Belladonna Mix seeds

White Cosmos Cosmos bipinnatus seeds

White Rose Campion / Evening Lychnis seeds

Slope- Plants 

Catmint- Nepeta ‘Blue Winder'- Catmint (2) bare roots 

Silver Carpet Lambs' Ear - ordered 02/6/2022 High Country Gardens

    Zone 5 Shipping begins the week of April 25, 2022

All four of these did okay this year. Maybe they need a year to get established. Perhaps I should buy four (4) more to continue to fill in. Also give away one or two to Teagan (Karys' sister). 

Veitch's Blue Globe Thistle Echinops ritro bare root

Phlox paniculata 'David'- Phlox (3) or seeds

Herbs to try next year from Hudson Valley Seed Co. 

Lovage- fresh flavor that tastes a bit like citrusy celery

Anise Hysopp- Once established, its heavily-scented, slightly fuzzy purply-green leaves are some of the first to emerge in the spring. 

Thyme- English thyme from Hudson Valley Seed Co.
