This plant is at least 6" diameter, much larger than the photo, and covered with buds and blooms. Semi-double to double white frilled star with mauve-pink edge. Dark green, serrated leaves with red back. Standard. Culture of African violets is specific but not difficult. The main concerns are listed here: SOIL – Pot into a mix of equal parts of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. "Violet" soils are not necessarily good for violets! Go by the ingredients, not the label! A bag of good soil should feel like a nice, fluffy, soft, pillow. Repot to freshen soil about every 6 months, but do not use larger than a 5 inch pot, and avoid deep pots. WATER – Use lukewarm water when soil feels dry to the touch. Water at the base without splashing, to avoid spotting foliage. LIGHT – Adequate light is important for good growth and bloom. Try to provide bright light, but not hot sun, for 8 hours each day (supplement if necessary). Turn pots regularly to keep flowers from reaching for the light. Or, place a two-tube fixture about 12-18" above plants for 12-13 hours a day. Under fluorescent light, plants may bloom continuously. FERTILIZER – A "balanced" formula is best, such as 15-15-15. Avoid "bloom boosters." Mix at one-quarter strength and use at every watering. Reduced flowering and paler leaf color indicate too little fertilizer. Pinch spent blooms to encourage the development of more flowers. TEMPERATURE - Generally violets prefer between 60-80 degrees, although they will tolerate somewhat out of this range. They like moderate humidity too. If you are comfortable, so are they. GROOMING - Do not allow extra crowns, or "suckers" to form. This will spoil that natural, flat, round appearance, and prevent it from blooming to its full potential. Most violets look and bloom best with about 3 to 4 rows of leaves.

Soft pink semi-double to double pansy, broadly outlined in dark maroon, speckled lavender fantasy. Standard size plant. Culture of African violets is specific but not difficult. The main concerns are listed here: SOIL – Pot into a mix of equal parts of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. WATER – Use lukewarm water that was allowed to stand for 48 hours to evaporate the chlorine. Water at the base without splashing foliage, to avoid spotting foliage. Keep evenly moist. LIGHT – Light affects flowering. Turn pots regularly to keep flowers from reaching for the light. Place 3 feet from a south- or west-facing window for the right winter lighting. In spring and summer, an east facing window is preferred. If this light cannot be maintained for eight hours, consider growing under fluorescent lights. FERTILIZER – Fertilize with a higher phosphorus (middle) number, as 15-30-15. Mix at one-quarter strength and use at every watering. Reduced flowering and paler leaf color indicate too little fertilizer. Pinch spent blooms to encourage the development of more flowers.

**This is the size I've sold in past years. Same size, or possibly a little larger, and same price.** Aloe vera is a succulent plant with a clear gel inside the leaves that is used often used as an alternative medical treatment for burns and skin care. Grow inside in bright light, or outside in shade in warm weather, watering every 2-3 weeks. Aloe vera does not like wet feet. To use, remove leaves at the base with a sharp knife, then put in a sandwich bag, wrap in foil, and store in the fridge to reuse for 4 or 5 days.

I have a variety of colors and textures of alpaca fleece, from cloud-soft baby fiber to sturdier old-gal fleece great for outerwear, rugs or similar use. Prices depend on quality and volume purchased - this listed price is a deposit, contact me for samples and colors/amounts/prices available. I have both skirted and unskirted fiber available - unlike sheep wool, alpaca doesn't need to be washed until the final product - it is so clean! Skirted fleece has had the short and lesser quality bits removed, along with the hay, pine needles, and occasional stick :)

1/2 gallon bag of young and tender bellezia (wild type) arugula greens. Crisp, with a surprising, smooth kind of heat that makes you want to eat another bite. This is the second cutting, grown in our high tunnels. It's not for the blandersons. If you love the spicy flavor of arugula, this is the plant for you. Arugula adds a pleasant, non-bitter bite to mixed salads. It can also be braised for a few seconds just before serving to "green up" asian style dishes.

Masterwort produces many small, ivory flowers that are flushed pink and bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall, wafting a sweet scent. Like Queen Anne’s lace, each masterwort blossom is an umbel of tiny flowers, framed by a collar of papery bracts. Masterwort is the perfect companion for astilbes, ferns, and hostas. Masterwort prefers part shade and rich, medium to wet soil. It grows best in soil that is not allowed to dry out.

The plant I'm selling for the 2013 season is much larger than this picture indicates, in a 3 gallon pot rather than the pictured 1 gallon. This azalea has large, luminous pink blooms, accented beautifully by the rich dark green foliage. It is easy to grow in light to medium shade, and is cold-hardy and weather resistant. Its growth is vigorous but disciplined, and it will reliably cover itself with color in spring, one of the later azaleas to bloom.
