The Seattle Tilth Edible Plant sale is nothing short of fantastic. They have hundreds of varieties, many of them heirlooms (full disclosure: both Bill and I are former Tilth board members. The sale is the first weekend in May...just two weeks away! You can buy a $25 ticket to go to the pre-sale on Friday evening (or volunteer, because all volunteers get into the pre-sale). The sale itself is on Saturday and Sunday. It can be hectic, but you'll get awesome plants! Phil–Sure! The Seattle Tilth Edible Plant sale is nothing short of fantastic.

Thanks for the wonderful recommendations--I can't wait to try the peppers! I have a question about lacinato kale. I try every year to grow it in my p-patch plot, and every year it gets infested with aphids to the point that it's inedible. Any suggestions for preventing pests? Hi Bill and Willi.

I've been trying to find seeds for satsuki midori cucumbers that you have mentioned before but can't find any without buying a bundle of other seeds I don't necessarily want. (Seattle Tilth didn't sell its starts last year at the Edible Plant Sale.) Do you know where to get them? Thank you! Thanks for the new list of veggies & their varieties to try.

I look forward to reading your book. Coincidentally, I just placed an online order at Peaceful Vally Farm and they were giving away some free seeds - low and behold - Chadwick Cherry tomato seeds were one of the options so I got them. I look forward to trying them, thanks for the suggestion! Hi Bill, Your description of heirlooms is making me even more excited about the garden this year, which I didn’t think was possible!
