Chrysanthemum Fairweather aka ‘Cosmo Purple’
$8.99
I have been growing this beauty for a few years now. It arrived an unnamed cultivar I dubbed ‘Cosmo Purple’. I think it may be the variety called ‘Fairweather’ I see on the Woolmans site? It is very floriferous and a great compact growth habit. Perfect for growing in a large container. The gorgeous, large, smokey- lavender incurved petals are silvery on reverse. See it in a bouquet

Chrysanthemum – ‘Billy Bell’
Truly stunning, large classic globe shape, white, slightly open petals - probably one of the more popular show varieties. When grown well there is no early flowering mum that can quite match this for size! Bold and dramatic, it's sure to turn heads with fully double, large, in-curved blooms.
This early variety blooms for me here in Zone 5 *see growing information on main category page

Plant it in full sun and average soils toward the back of the flower bed and plan on staking to keep the tall growing stems upright. Plants will reach about 3-4 feet in height

Opalka Heirloom Paste Tomato – PLANT
The red fruits reach up to 6” elongated, tapering to blunt or sometimes pointed tips. Meaty with few seeds, and unlike most common paste tomatoes, ‘Opalka’ actually has a good flavour, making sauces and pastes even better.
Expect copious yields of 3×5″ massive solid bull’s horn–shaped red fruits with dry texture. Also dries well. While some tomatoes falter during hot dry spells, Opalka produces consistently.
This heirloom tomato is amazing to behold and difficult to find. If you grow tomatoes for paste, this is the one to grow. Polish heirloom brought by the Opalka family to Amsterdam, NY, around 1900. A shy seed producer, it consistently gets dropped for that reason by commercial enterprises, so we’re happy to be able to offer it!
Tips- Plant in fertile soil, amended with compost, mulch and provide even moisture. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers as it makes a stronger roots system. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
