Well they are here at last, my new for 2009 vegetable garden seeds kits! I am so excited about these terrific seed collections in a can! Now there is no reason you can't grow something to eat as long as you have a small sunny spot in your yard. These kits are designed with beginning gardeners in mind and for small but efficient gardens of 10'x5'. Every can includes a colorful planting plan and key, plus a detailed instruction guide. Kits also include 23 easy to grow, open-pollinated, heirloom varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Heirloom seeds have been historically favored and selected over many generations. You can be sure that these cans contain some of the most beloved garden plants that have ever been grown. Because they are open pollinated you can collect the seed from these plants to store and plant the following year. You can’t do that with hybrid plants because they won't reproduce true to kind. More importantly, heirloom vegetables have better flavor and produce fruits over a longer period than hybrid plants. Hybrids are bred for commercial growers who want vegetables to ripen all at once and to travel 1000s of miles without bruising. Heirlooms are bred to be prolific and to have great taste rather than thick skins. Even if you have never grown anything before in your life, I urge you to consider making this the year you start growing something to eat.
It's a great feeling when the grocery stores are pulling all the tomatoes due to a salmonella scare, to know you have delicious and safe tomatoes right outside your door.
U "Can" Garden kits are available here for $25.95 plus $5.95 shipping and handling or you can buy them at my Etsy Store. Enjoy!
