Our sights are on the 2020 season and with much of the ground work in place, we move forward only after looking back. Some new varieties were hits like the jalapeno pepper with Goliath tags, Damsel tomato, Fragrant Falls Peach Begonia, and a few others around for awhile but tried for the first time, happy we did. Others were failures, like some of the pumpkins, but our wet summer may have worked against us. Storms and high winds may have also stressed some gardens to the point of a failed season and to those I can only say "There is always next year."
Looking forward, we will again be offering numerous flower and vegetable varieties never before offered, hoping they will perform as advertised, or shall I say "Sensationalized." For savvy marketers focus on the positives while downplaying the negatives. On the plus side, we've been at this a while and can often see through the mirages. We also see a trend of more plants with resistance to blight and other diseases standing between a plant and its ability to thrive. Breeders are also focusing on bringing back tomatoes with flavor and flowers that not only look good, but smell nice, too. So lets hope our vision for next year is clear and hope to see you!
