🌅 California Poppy Mix (Eschscholzia californica) A Kaleidoscope of the Wild West in Every Packet Experience the legendary beauty of the West Coast in a stunning array of colors with our California Poppy Mix. While the wild species is famous for its iconic "Cup of Gold" orange, this celebratory mix expands the palette to include a breathtaking blend of shimmering apricot, creamy white, soft rose, and brilliant lemon yellow. With its signature feathery, blue-green foliage and satin-textured petals, this mix brings a soft, romantic, and water-wise elegance to any landscape. 📜 Historical Heritage: The "Land of Fire" The California Poppy is a storied native of the American West, historically covering the coastal hillsides so densely that early Spanish explorers could see the orange glow from miles out at sea, naming the region "La Tierra del Fuego" (The Land of Fire). Our California Poppy Mix is a horticultural tribute to the plant's versatility. While the wild orange poppy was first scientifically documented by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s, European breeders spent the next century selecting for unique color "sports." This mix brings those refined colors—apricot, cream, and rose—back together with the rugged, drought-tolerant genetics of the original wild poppy. It represents the perfect marriage of frontier resilience and cottage garden charm. ✨ Product Highlights A Sunset Palette: A curated blend of orange, yellow, white, pink, and bicolor blooms that glow in the sunlight. Ultimate Low-Maintenance: One of the most drought-tolerant annuals available; once established, it thrives on neglect and very little water. The "Sleeping" Flower: Like a living sundial, the blossoms open wide in the bright sun and "sleep" (close up) during the night or on cloudy days. Pollinator Favorite: An essential early-to-mid-season nectar and pollen source for native bees and butterflies. Self-Seeding Legacy: Though grown as an annual, it is a prolific self-seeder that will naturally "volunteer" in your garden year after year. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Eschscholzia californica Plant Type Native Annual (Perennial in Zones 8-10) Height 12 to 18 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Period Spring through Summer Days to Maturity 60–75 Days Soil Preference Well-drained; thrives in poor, sandy, or rocky soil 🌱 How to Grow California Poppy Mix 1. Sowing the Seeds (Direct Sow is Essential):California poppies have a long, sensitive taproot and do not like being transplanted. For the best success, sow them directly where they are to grow. When: Sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. In milder climates (Zones 7-10), sow in the fall for an earlier spring display. Depth: Surface sow or barely cover with 1/16 inch of soil. They require a little light to stimulate germination. Preparation: Clear the area of weeds, scatter the seeds, and press them firmly into the soil with your hand or a flat board to ensure good contact. 2. The Perfect Location:These poppies demand Full Sun. They are famously unfussy about soil and actually prefer "poor" soil over rich, fertilized garden beds. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas; they must have excellent drainage to prevent root rot. 3. Maintenance: Watering: Water lightly until the seedlings are established. After that, they are exceptionally drought-tolerant. Deadheading: If you want a longer bloom season, remove the spent flower heads before they turn into long, pointed seed pods. End of Season: If you want them to return next year, leave the seed pods on the plant in late summer so they can "pop" and scatter their seeds naturally across the soil. 🎨 Garden Design Tip The California Poppy Mix looks spectacular when planted in large "drifts" or masses along hillsides or walkways. Because of its airy, fine texture, it pairs beautifully with bolder plants like Blue Bachelor Buttons or the upright spikes of Scarlet Sage. Garden Tip: Don't over-fertilize! If your poppies have lots of green leaves but no flowers, it usually means the soil is too rich. These plants are built for the rugged wild—the "tougher" the soil, the better they bloom. 🌵☀️

Seychelle Pole Bean The Award-Winning Gourmet Standard for Vertical Gardening Elevate your garden with the Seychelle Pole Bean, a variety that redefined the expectations for home-grown snap beans. As a prestigious All-America Selections (AAS) Winner, Seychelle is celebrated for its exceptional uniformity, high yields, and gourmet "filet" quality. These vigorous vines produce heavy clusters of slender, 5-to-6-inch pods that are remarkably crunchy, sweet, and entirely stringless. If you are looking for a reliable, disease-resistant bean that maximizes vertical space, Seychelle is the professional choice. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin The Seychelle Pole Bean is a triumph of modern horticultural breeding, developed by Peterborough-based breeders in the United Kingdom. While many pole beans are ancient heirlooms, Seychelle was bred to solve the common frustrations of the home gardener: low disease resistance and "stringy" pods. It stepped into the global spotlight in 2017, when it earned the All-America Selections (AAS) National Award. Judges across North America were impressed by its "hybrid vigor," noting that it outperformed older varieties in both taste and productivity. It represents the "new generation" of garden classics—maintaining the old-fashioned, rich bean flavor of a heritage variety while incorporating the robust health and high-yield genetics of modern breeding. ✨ Product Highlights 2017 AAS Winner: Extensively trialed and proven to be one of the best performing pole beans in North America. Gourmet Filet Quality: Produces straight, dark-green pods that are slender and tender, comparable to the finest French beans. Disease Resistant: Highly resistant to Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV), ensuring a healthy crop even in challenging conditions. Vigorous Climber: Quickly covers a trellis or bean teepee, producing clusters of pods at every node for a continuous harvest. Totally Stringless: Even when the beans get a bit larger, they maintain a crisp, snap-bean texture without any tough strings. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Award-Winning Pole Bean) Growth Habit Vining (Requires a trellis or support) Height 6 to 9 feet Days to Maturity 55–65 Days Sun Requirement Full Sun (6-8+ hours) Pod Length 5 to 6 inches 🌱 How to Grow Seychelle Pole Beans 1. When to Plant:Beans are heat-loving plants. Direct sow seeds outdoors only after the soil has warmed to at least 65°F and all danger of frost has passed. 2. Trellising (Essential):As a true pole bean, Seychelle must have vertical support. Options: Use a cattle panel, a sturdy fence, or a "tripod" made of bamboo stakes. Installation: Set up your support before planting to avoid damaging the delicate roots of the seedlings later. 3. Sowing the Seeds: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Space seeds 3 inches apart along the base of your trellis. Tip: Do not soak bean seeds before planting, as this can lead to poor germination; simply keep the soil moist until they sprout. 4. Maintenance: Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially once the plants begin to flower. Always water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry. Mulching: A layer of straw around the base helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool during the heat of mid-summer. 5. Harvesting:For the best gourmet quality, harvest the pods when they are about 5 inches long and the seeds inside are not yet visible. The Golden Rule: The more you harvest, the more the plant will produce! Check your vines every 2 days during the peak of the season. 🍳 Culinary Note Seychelle beans are so tender and sweet they can be eaten raw as a garden snack. In the kitchen, they are best when lightly blanched or sautéed in olive oil with garlic. Because they are so uniform in size, they look stunning when served whole on the plate. Garden Tip: Pole beans like Seychelle produce over a much longer season than bush beans. While a bush bean crop might finish in 3 weeks, Seychelle will keep producing until the first frost as long as you keep picking! 🧺🌿

Canna Tall brown-leaf 'Wyoming'
The 'Wyoming 'Canna blooms are orange. The dark brown (almost black) foliage accents the blooms.  They are care free and are not bothered by deer, rabbits or other rodents. 
Cannas reward you with lush tropical foliage and standout blooms within a very short time period. Cannas are tropical bulbs and will need to be lifted in zones colder than Zone 8. They are easy to store and will bring your years of enjoyment. Cut the flowers for show stopping arrangements as this will help encourage blooms until frost. Canna bulbs are #1 size bulbs, some of the biggest on the market.

A productive variety that's easy to grow and delicious to eat. Calypso Beans: Do They Keep Their Patterns When Cooked? Yes! Calypso beans are renowned for retaining their stunning black-and-white "orca" or "yin-yang" patternseven after soaking and cooking. Why It Matters No fading or bleeding: Unlike some pinto or cranberry beans, the bold markings stay vibrant—perfect for visually striking dishes. Cooking Tips: Soak dried beans overnight (8-12 hours) in water. Drain, then simmer 45-90 minutes until tender (no pre-soak salt). Result: Beautiful, intact patterns in soups, salads, or sides! "One of the best things about Calypsos—they look as good on the plate as in the packet!" — Customer review Key Features Plant Type: Compact bush (18-24 inches tall)—no trellis or staking needed. Maturity: 55-60 days from sowing to first harvest. Yield: High; expect 5-7 inch long, flat, stringless green pods filled with nutty, creamy-white seeds flecked with black. Seeds per Packet: [Customize based on your stock, e.g., 50+ seeds] USDA Zones: 3-10 (annual crop). Growing Instructions Sow Seeds: Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil is 60°F+ (15°C). Plant 1 inch deep, 2-4 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart. Site: Full sun (6+ hours daily), fertile, well-drained soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Amend with compost for best results. Care: Water consistently (1 inch/week); mulch to retain moisture. Inoculate seeds with rhizobia for nitrogen fixation if soil is poor. Pests/Diseases: Resistant to many common bean issues; watch for aphids or rust—use row covers if needed. Succession Plant: Sow every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvest through summer. Harvest & Storage Fresh Pods: Pick when pods are plump and seeds are visible but not bulging (for snap beans). Shelling/Dry Beans: Let pods yellow and dry on plant; shell and store in cool, dry place for up to a year. Pro Tip: One plant can yield 1/2 lb of dried beans! Culinary Uses Fresh/Shelled: Steam, sauté, or add to salads—mild, buttery flavor. Dried: Soak overnight and cook into hearty soups, stews, or bean salads. Holds shape well; pairs with Italian herbs, garlic, or Southwest spices. Customer Favorite: "Dolphin beans" in minestrone or rice bowls! Why Sell Calypso Beans?

🫛 Amish Snap Pea (Heirloom) The "Holy Grail" of Sweet, Vine-Ripened Peas Step back in time with the Amish Snap Pea, a variety widely considered by heirloom enthusiasts to be the sweetest and most flavorful snap pea in existence. Unlike modern, dwarf commercial varieties that have been "tamed" for mechanical harvesting, the Amish Snap is a vigorous, tall-vined treasure that prioritizes one thing above all else: unparalleled flavor. With its crunchy, succulent pods and lush growth, it is a living piece of agricultural history that turns every spring garden into a gourmet snack bar. 📜 Historical Heritage & Heirloom Integrity The Amish Snap Pea is a true pre-1950s heirloom. As its name suggests, it was preserved for generations within Amish communities in Pennsylvania, where it was a staple of the kitchen garden long before the modern "Sugar Snap" (introduced in 1979) became a household name. While commercial breeders were focusing on creating short, self-supporting plants, Amish families continued to save the seeds of this tall, vigorous variety because of its superior sweetness and heavy production. It was eventually "rediscovered" by the broader gardening world and popularized by the Seed Savers Exchange. Today, it is a flagship variety for those committed to biodiversity, representing a time when vegetables were bred for the family table rather than the shipping crate. ✨ The Heirloom Advantage Superior Sweetness: Many gardeners find this variety significantly sweeter and more "pea-flavored" than modern supermarket hybrids. Vigorous Tall Vines: Unlike "bush" peas, these vines reach 5–6 feet, utilizing vertical space and keeping the pods away from soil-borne pests. Edible Pods: The pods are tender, juicy, and entirely stringless when harvested young. Continuous Harvest: Because it is an heirloom with high vigor, it tends to produce over a longer window than many modern varieties, provided the weather stays cool. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Heirloom Pole Pea) Growth Habit Tall Climbing Vine (Requires Trellis) Height 5 to 6 feet Days to Maturity 60–65 Days Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Pod Length 2 to 3 inches 🌱 How to Grow Amish Snap Peas 1. When to Plant:Peas are the ultimate "cool weather" crop. Direct sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring—even a few weeks before the last frost. They can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest. 2. Sowing the Seeds: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Space seeds 2 inches apart. Note: Inoculating your seeds with nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobium) can greatly increase your yield and plant health. 3. Trellising (Essential!):Because this is a true heirloom climber, you must provide a trellis. Use a fence, netting, or a "pea brush" (staked twigs) at least 5 feet tall. Install the support at the time of planting to avoid disturbing the roots later. 4. Soil & Water: Peas prefer loose, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially once the plants begin to flower and set pods. Mulching the base of the plants will help keep the roots cool as the weather warms up. 5. Harvesting: For Snap Peas: Harvest when the pods are plump and the peas inside are visible but not fully "bulged." The Golden Rule: The more you harvest, the more the plant will produce! Check your vines daily once the first pods appear. 🍳 Culinary Note The Amish Snap Pea is best enjoyed raw, straight off the vine. If you manage to make it back to the kitchen, they are spectacular when lightly blanched, tossed in stir-fries, or served with a simple dip. Garden Tip: Peas "fix" nitrogen in the soil. Once the plants finish producing in the early summer, cut them off at the soil line rather than pulling them up. This leaves the nitrogen-rich roots in the ground to feed your next crop of tomatoes or peppers! ♻️🫛
