I picked up this Salvia on a whim at Swanson’s over the weekend, and now searching around to classify it I find that it’s apparently a hot new variety just in from Argentina in January?

My now-husband and I are closing on our new house tomorrow! (Yes, we decided to get all the stressful life milestones out of the way at once.)

Three of the rows in the ...19°C / 66°F -

Last year was a fairly mixed one for tomato production, but the one plant I was happiest with was an Amish Paste I’d gotten as part of an heirloom six-pack at Ballard Market. (This was surprising, because the year before, a friend gave me a start of one, and its performance was fairly blah....19°C / 66°F -
