    Most gardeners have favorite go-to plants that perform well in their climate and simply make them happy. For me, those are coneflowers, catmint, liatris, alliums, daylilies, black-eyed Susans and oh so many tomatoes.

    But every year, I manage to find at least a little space for something new that woos me from a garden-center shelf or the pages of a catalog.

    Behind those customer-facing outlets, plant breeders work tirelessly to produce innovative plants with larger flowers; better disease resistance; improved cold-, heat- or shade-tolerance; longer bloom times and even higher nutrition.

    Ive become quite fond of cherry bombs. Those are the chilis you typically get on a pizza when you ask for hot peppers. The yield is good and they're great in pasta rice dishes and eggs.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    We had a couple of trees taken down last fall and as a result the garden will get a lot more sun. I'm excited to see what happens. Can't fully plant for a month or so in the Adirondacks. But I'm in the planning phase so this is an interesting post for me. I use Baker Creek a lot for my seeds
