Lupin Mix
Lupin Mix
A member of the pea family, Lupins are a wonderful old-fashioned flower, with spires of blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, peach and bicolours.. Although they are perennials, lupins are in the class of short-lived perennials. They put all their energy into those magnificent flower stalks and wear themselves out in the effort. Lupins live in the range of two to five years, but luckily they will self seed and the butterflies and bumblebees will love you.

Paul Robeson Tomato – SEED
Paul Robeson Tomato – SEED
90 days. This famous tomato has almost a cult following among seed collectors and tomato connoisseurs. They simply cannot get enough of this variety's amazing flavor that is so distinctive, sweet and smokey. 7-10 oz. fruit are a black-brick color. Named in honor of the famous opera singer star of 'King Solomon's Mines', 1937. Paul Robeson was an equal rights advocate who stood up the the infamous McCarthy committee in the 1950's and had his career nearly destroyed as a result. He was idolized in Russia as well as all around the world. This Russian heirloom was lovingly named in his honor. Indeterminate but in my garden very well behaved so I would say semi-indeterminate

Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
The Blue-podded Capucijner (cap-ou-SIGH-nah) is a hardy pea first grown by the Franciscan Capuchin monks. Its particularly beautiful, bi-colored flowers are lilac/pink and wine-red/purple, fading to blue as they wilt; pods are deep inky purple/blue. It is best used to make delicious, full-bodied soups; also an edible-podded sugar pea.  Great long term storage food. Soaring, vining plants are smothered in the most striking dark purple pea pods. A rich eggplant color, these shelling peas are as delicious as they are beautiful; pick early for best flavor. The vining stems make a wonderful and unexpected addition to summer flower arrangements and are a real conversation starter. A must grow heirloom. Beautiful heirloom pea that is pretty enough to grow as an ornamental for the edible gardening fans, even if you don't like peas. The dark colored pods really stand out against the background of the bright green leaves making them very easy to pick. It is a good choice for children and the elderly. Approximately 30 seeds per packet. (read more below)
