Poppy ‘Hens ‘n Chicks ‘
Papaver somniferum This ancient form of poppy is perhaps the most unique variety of all! It has amazing large pink blooms, but the very cool thing is clusters of mini pods that surround the primary seed pod! The name refers to its resemblance to a hen being surrounded by her chicks. Highly coveted by fine florists who use the unusual seed heads in arrangements.
Poppy ‘White Peony ‘
Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum
Simply stunning - gorgeous creamy white, full glorious bloom! Luscious peony type blooms. (See under Blog section for poppy info)
Peony poppy is also sometimes called double garden poppy because it produces large, double blooms that typically span 4 to 5 inches across. The plant reaches an average of height of 2 to 3 feet. The flowers have the characteristic papery, ruffled appearance and texture of other poppies. The attractive foliage has rounded leaves accented with feathery edging. The large seed pods that appear after flowering work well in dried floral arrangements and you can use them for crafts.
Peony poppy prefers organically rich, well-draining soil in full sun. Annual. Will self seed.

Tomato – ‘Blue Berries’ Cherry
A blue cherry tomato, indicating that it is rich in anthocyanins. These prolific plants produced beautiful 1/2" blue fruit by the truss-full, right up until first frost. Blue shoulders and deep red undersides and flesh. For the best flavour, pick when the deep red colour is fully developed, although definitely not a sweet tomato.
It can be tempting to pick the fruit too young at the deep blue stage but the flavour isn't developed although pretty in a vase!
