Artichoke.

Cynara scolymus 'Imperial Star'. 85 days. This is the first artichoke developed for the home gardener. Generally hardy in our area but may need some protection. Plants are easy to grow, reach 3 to 4 feet tall and produce 6 to 8 mature edible buds. Thomas Jefferson grew artichokes at his Montecello home.

Asparagus.

'Jersey Knight'. Full sun to part shade. Plants will produce best in full sun but will do fairly well in a partly shaded spot. Plant in the middle of a "W" shaped trench, add high phosphate starter fertilizer. Maintain with rich compost or aged manure applied every fall or early spring. Maintain pH to at least 7.0. Do not cut back the fern like foliage until it dies back naturally. Ready for moderate harvest second spring.

About Our Veggies
- About Our Veggies
  The strength of the vegetable garden is its ability to yield the freshest produce from superior varieties that are unobtainable in the supermarket. That philosophy carries over into what I select to offer you. The way my plants are grown also offers you benefits. All vegetable plants are sold in individual pots to permit you to select just the number you need when you need them. Plants in individual pots tend to be more vigorous, grow faster, and produce a larger harvest. For you this means better vegetables sooner. Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, and most other vegetable plants are $2.49 each. Lettuce, Italian and Asian greens are $1.49 unless otherwise specified.

We are no longer growing any plants. Listings are for information only. Last seed source listed after some of the plants is the company from which I last purchased the seeds. I make no guarantee that a variety is still available from that company or that there aren't other sources. Plants with no source either were not grown from seed (most likely) or the seed is not commercially available.
