149th Year: R. H. Shumway Seedsman
What may be better than Valentines Day? Receiving the BIG, beautiful RHShumway seed catalog in February when the outside temperature is 20 degrees F.
I normally buy local herb/tomato/vegetable nursery plants in May. This year, as well as plants I am ordering seed. Three categories of plants have my attention.
- Gourds and Luffa Sponge: future crafty bird houses, dippers and sponges
- Persimmon root-stock: Regional fruit
- Annual flowers: Zinnias, Snapdragon, Bells of Ireland, Cockscomb
Expect future posts on my garden expansion project.
