New this week! (tomorrow, in fact)

Cooler weather doesn't turn everyone's thoughts to fall planting but as for us?...oh yeah. Last week's record heat made for almost no business and fortunately we didn't order any new stuff, but this week we're back on track.

Veggies from Langley Fine Gardens:

- onion 'Cippolini Boretana'
- broccoli
- brussels sprouts
- leaf lettuce 'Merlot'
- baby butterhead lettuce 'Tom Thumb'
- leaf lettuce 'Sunset'
- Swiss chard 'Ruby Red'
- beet 'Bull's Blood'
- pepper 'Bolivian Rainbow' (okay, not technically a "fall vegetable" in these parts but super cute, multicolored HOT fruit on a small plant that makes a decent houseplant when the weather gets cold)

Herbs from American Gardens:

- catnip
- chives
- bronze fennel
- French tarragon
- mint 'Kentucky Colonel' (suitable for juleps OR mojitos!)
- golden oregano
- Greek oregano
- Italian parsley
- rosemary 'Tuscan Blue' (and we still have some 'Arp', the super hardy stuff) and
- English thyme

Next week: hopefully even MORE vegetables and shiny new perennials, which are 25% off through August. You're welcome! :)
