Lychnis coronaria aka Rose Campion
Circa 1828 - Mounds of silvery-green/grey, woolly stems and foliage with neon magenta flowers! What more could you ask of a flower???
Great as a cut flower!
A beloved old plant once called Mullein Pink and Lamp Flower, as the felted leaves once were used in the making of wicks. Its brilliant magenta colouring is electric in combination with the silver-gray leaves on branching stems. An easy to grow, long-blooming and low maintenance short-lived perennial or biennial. Most plants do not survive harsh winters after flowering but it does readily self seed to perpetuate a planting. Despite its short life span, it is certainly worth growing.

Nicotiana alata One of the most fragrant flowers! This stunning plant is a must-have for every gardener and is ideal for the mixed border. Flowering for many months, it fills the air with a sweet, jasmine-like scent. Showy white flowers open during the cool of the evening with oblong shaped leaves and an erect branching form.

Painted Daisy -Tricolour Chrysanthemum Rainbow Mix
a.k.a. Annual Chrysanthemum, Painted Daisy, 'Fancy Pants Daisy Mix' (Ismelia carinata syn. Chrysanthemum carinatum)
Annual Painted Daisy is simply a treasure! Every flower lover deserves a big stand of Painted Daisies, their merry bulls-eye patterns and multitude of bright colours (purple, orange, scarlet, rose, salmon, yellow and white shades) delighting the senses with every new bloom. They are very easy to grow, and the best news is that once you sow your first batch of these annuals, they will obligingly re-seed for you, year after glorious year!
These blooms are just so cheery -- about 3 inches wide, with concentric rings of colours in two or even three brilliant shades. No two blooms will be just alike on these plants, which reach anywhere from 18 inches to 3 feet tall, and range from about 15 to 18 inches wide. Heavy flowering annuals produce loads of showy, daisy-like flowers which are long-lasting cut. Expect the first blooms by midsummer, and watch them keep going (faster if cut or deadheaded!) right into the middle of fall in most climates. Cut back after bloom for repeat in late summer. What a season!
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’
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)

Pea – ‘Tom Thumb Dwarf’ Pea

Produces lots of delicious peas per plant and the peas can be used as whole pods when young or mature shelling peas. No trellis support needed. The size makes patio gardening a breeze, and kids also will love these. Fast growing and low maintenance. Try some today!
Originating in England and introduced in the United States in the mid-19th century, there were several strains of this variety; over time, further reductions in height and time to maturity were achieved, leading to the pea we know as Tom Thumb today. Shell, 50-55 days.
Peas thrive in cool weather. Sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil can be worked in spring and in later summer. In addition to containers, Tom Thumb is good for cold-frame production and for planting in flower borders.
