I've known her for 40 years, so always ask what new favorite is on the table ... <br /><br />When Melissa, Andy and I first met, they'd visited England, and come home with lavender seeds collected from many gardens (they didn't have a plant permit that year) and Royal Velvet was one of the resulting cultivars (they carry over 150, and supply plants to many of our farms). In Western Oregon, we have annual lavender festivals with lavender lemonade and other edible treats. <br /><br />Yesterday's new goodies included a new large leaved basil and a Penstemon for the pollinators. <br />I have a Sochi tea Camellia that is a decade old, and ready for its second harvest of the season. Another friend walked me through processing the leaves several years ago - drying, then roasting in a wok and the oven, and we both love our own teas.Nadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730124015853971661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-54941813052969020652019-12-31T10:27:40.017-05:002019-12-31T10:27:40.017-05:00louboutin shoes

My plant friend in Hong Kong mailed me some seeds recently that im trying out, but im pretty sure the seeds isn't either viable or the same plant as they are hybrids and they usually make the plants from cuttings. I need to find me some cuttings instead i guess - from a european source :-) a bit hard to find, it seems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862503478681980983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-6928257930586338152015-01-16T10:40:18.008-05:002015-01-16T10:40:18.008-05:00I stumbled into your blog by accident and with des...I stumbled into your blog by accident and with desperation!<br />I was looking for this for so long.<br />Bought so many seeds that claimed to be this particular strain...<br />Thank you for sharing and keep this blog alive...<br />This has made my day so bright and me so happy..<br /><br />Happy New Year 2015!! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366919229175254700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-22482685109663294762012-03-11T16:52:40.722-04:002012-03-11T16:52:40.722-04:00Thank you so much!

Mother Earth News has a search function where you can search more than 500 mail order seed and plant companies here:http://www.motherearthnews.com/Find-Seeds-Plants.aspx<br /><br />I use it frequently when I'm looking for something specific. So a search there for Ju hua came up with a few results. None of them had seeds but one has live plants. <br /><br />http://companionplants.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=109&osCsid=eb7cc28c25f7955d31a170b195064744<br /><br />I hope this is what you're looking for.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-75080741413211975412010-02-05T12:10:09.867-05:002010-02-05T12:10:09.867-05:00Thomas:
