The strawflowers were a highlight of the garden and are still blooming on Halloween, absolutely lovely. Had pretty good germination and will grow again.

Pretty good germination, they were slow to flower so get the seeds started early. Once they flowered, you couldn’t stop them! I was hoping for more of the apricots colours, but ended up with mostly purple and rust.

Thank you, Jeannie, and good tip on starting them early. Yes, the colours shifted a bit to darker reds. Thanks for pointing it out. We've brought the mix back to more apricot for 2027!

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!

This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.

The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.

Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
