Had a very nice hanging planter of this last season. Decided to bring it inside and try to overwinter it as a simple window plant. Worked without any issues, we'll once again have a nice full plant hanging on our porch again this year.

The seeds of the Cebil tree contain bufotenin and DMT. When toasted, Cebil seeds can be smoked, chewed or sniffed to induce hallucinations.

My first impression with this 'new to me' cultivar is that my germination rate was very, very low. Of around 30 seeds direct sown, only 9 have emerged. Had to re-plant with another cultivar to make up for it. I'll have more to add as the plants grow.

Quite remarkably, this green grape does, indeed, taste of cotton candy. Super sweet. Only available in grocery stores for a bit more than a month each year.

Low bud counts hinder this otherwise excellent cultivar. Great pop of color in the flower beds, flowers held well above foliage and throws out poly blooms quite often.

The leaves on this Hosta get HUGE. (15 x 12 inches)

The alkaloid cocaine is found in this plant. Indigenous people have chewed the leaves from this plant for centuries as a form of mild stimulant.

This carrot variety, introduced in 1929, is a large stump rooted carrot with exceptional sweetness. It also has a notable history as being behind the case of Campbell Soup Company vs. Wentz (1948).

Smallish, but very sweet late season variety.

This potato grew very well for me here in New Hampshire. They were decent size (little bigger than a man's fist) and their production was good on a per-plant basis. A couple of them did display some hollow heart issues, but it was not a major issue. I used them for making mashed potatoes and they were very good in that role.

Named after Alice Zirkle, a co-founder of the Rainier Fruit Company.

The cultivar's name translates to 'Glossy apple from Kalmar'.

Developed to be grown in subtropical climes.

According to the popular story, it was an apple falling from a 'Flower of Kent' apple tree that inspired Sir Issac Newton's work in his theory of gravity.

After 20 years of development Cosmic Crisp will be available to consumers in 2019.
