Urban seeds

Read a great article today from our good friend Celia Alario: seed gumballs!

Check out the article for the full description, but in essence, it's a vending machine that sells 'seedbombs' that can be tossed on vacant spots to liven' 'em up with some botanical color. The company that produces them can even have them fine tuned for the region that they are placed in! One more simple way to make things a little greener; I had a friend in high school who used to like to toss sunflower and cosmo seeds in vacant areas to bring a little happiness to blighted spots, she would love to see this!

Heirloom seeds!

If you haven't been in lately, you might have missed on of our newest products:
Baker Creek Heirloom seeds!



We don't know of any other retailers in Orange County that have these seeds in stock - such a cool product! We've started growing things like "Tomato Great White", "Connecticut Pumpkin", "Eggplant Rosas Bianca" "Squash Red Kuri" and "Watermelon Moon and Stars" - they are suuuuch cool plants!

Come in and check them out - they are right in the front display when you come the the store. We'll be getting some new varieties in later in the summer.

And if seeds aren't your thing, we have plenty of heirloom veggies already started and ready to go home with you!
