I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful summer weather! Our planters and window boxes will need extra water with the warmth, but will reward us with continued growth and beautiful flowers. Here are some more pictures from our time at the Ohio trade show. There are many more but these are a few new varieties of already popular plants. We have yet to decide what we'll be growing next year but it's always nice to have these pictures to refer to. A giant Alyssum! It's a new variety that's great for pots. A very small cherry tomato plant; great for patios,window boxes and balconies. This is really cool! A new variety of cherry tomatoes called 'Sweet Raisin Tomato". The company advertises them as a great dried tomato, about the size of a large raisin. We tried one and it was very yummy. Just dry in a 105*F oven for 3 hours. This is blue Salvia....a huge blue salvia! This is a hanging basket with a mixture of Million Bells. If you don't know what those are, the flowers look much like a mini petunia for full sun. They are beautiful and one of my favourite annuals. We planted just a few of these this past spring and they were beautiful so we plan to have many more next spring with different colour combos. That's all I have for today. If you ever want me to blog on a certain subject, I'd be glad to do that, just send me a note.
