| Greetings!  | | Juliet Tomatoes |
It's a tomato frenzy! Despite the coolish weather, we will be bringing out the first planting of our collector tomatoes into location on Friday Afternoon.
This year we have divided up our collection into three categories due to the ever increasing selection of new varieties.
Besides our general section, we will have a Heirloom section and a section where many of the new hanging basket varieties will be available in 2 1/2" pots for easy planting. Noteworthy additions this year are two late blight resistant varieties, Defiant and Mountain Magic. If you grow these this season, please send us your feedback.
Other varieties worth
mentioning are: Indigo Rose, the darkest tomato bred so far with an exceptionally high level of anthocyanins ( a powerful anti-oxidant). Cherry Cascade, prolific cascades of sweet and juicy 1" fruits tumble from hanging baskets and containers. Power Pops, a delicious tomato that can produce 55% more lycopene and 40% more carotenoids than the average tomato.
Valencia, a smooth round, orange-skinned heirloom variety that produces full flavoured meaty fruits with few seeds.
As well as many, many more!

Vegetative Petunias
For those who like the more unique, come and see the selection of Vegetative Petunias we have set up on table C13 and C14. These varieties won't trail like the super trailing types, but they do mound and spread and are great for planters or hanging baskets set lower for viewing. They boast the best variety of colours, including the world's first black Petunia, returning from last year... Black Velvet! Not to forget about the other amazing colours such as Potunia Plus Papaya, Sweetunia Mystery, Peppy Purple, Sweetunia Bordeaux, and Surprise Orange Twist.  | | Potunia Plus Pinkalicious Vegetative Petunias |
