Botanically Interesting Days

Today I set up my new desk calendar. The nice folks at Botanical Interests  have been sending me their calendar for several years now, and it has brightened my desk with lovely illustrations of flowers and vegetables.

About The Owners

Their online seed catalog is guaranteed to cause any gardener to desire far more plantings than any one plot can hold – but I am assured by friends who garden that this is a common affliction. I have tried planting my own piece, but predatory deer and too much shade have combined to crush my hopes to grow vegetables. Herbs in pots on my patio are all I can aspire to!

But for anyone reading this who can grow their own, go look at Botanical Interests’ website. They stand out from other seed purveyors by the amount of information furnished both on their website and on each individual seed packet. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and each packet has a beautiful illustration by an artist.

I will spend January dreaming of Cauliflower, Early Snowball, illustrated by Susan Strok. How bad can that be?

About Judy

I have been cooking and eating all my life, around the country, world, and throughout history (I hold Master Cook status in the Society for Creative Anachronism). In real time, I help run the Olney Farmers and Artists Market in Olney, Maryland, arrange their weekly chef demos and blog from that website (olneyfarmersmarket.tumblr.com) on Market matters. This personal blog is for all things foodie: events, cookbooks, products, restaurants, eating.
