Add colour to your pesto! Choose from purple, cinnamon, or genovese basil for a flavourful mix. Cinnamon basil has a sweet, licorice flavour and lovely light purple flowers; and the purple basil has a flavour more similar to genovese basil, but with dark purple leaves. Basil grows well on your windowsill, and in any fertile, well drained garden. It does like heat though, so make sure to plant it in full sun. (2-3 plants/ pot for 4 inch pots)

(Replaces Red Volantes, as we were unable to get seed this season). Red russian is a siberian-type kale, and has very pretty flat, serrated leaves with red veins. More tender than regular curly kales, red russian is excellent in salads.

A stunning mixture of yellow, orange, red and variegated marigolds. Plant them around the garden to kill nematodes and repel white flies, but avoid planting near beans. These grow well in pots, window boxes, and other containers. Will bloom right until frost if deadheaded.

A very drought tolerant variety with enormous, edible, flat blooms. Technically pansies are a perennial, but they are mostly grown in our climate as a cold hardy annual. Grow them in pots, window boxes, hanging baskets, or as mass plantings in the garden.

A beautiful plant that not only attracts pollinators, but also yields tender 12” long green beans. You’ll need to support this runner bean, either on trellising or stakes, as it tends to sprawl. Develops pretty deep red flowers. It’s fun to grow with children .

A stunning mix of beautiful, edible flowers! The blooms have a very delicate wintergreen flavour, and are a colourful addition to salads or a garnish for deserts. Unlike many annual flowers, violas thrive in partial shade as well as full sun. They are also a perrennial, so they can overwinter and bloom again next year. While older varieties bloom only in the spring/early summer, Corina blooms all summer long. . .almost right up until frost!
