Every year we select seeds to try in the new year. For 2025 we’ve picked 6 open pollinated varieties to satisfy your craving for something new.
When we grow new (to us) plants or varieties, the garden never gets boring. You’ll learn a lot about a crop when you try growing different cultivars of the same plant. Some will work, some will be meh. Either way you’ll have fun learning as you grow.
