I have never even tasted artichokes, but they sound beautiful so I'm going to put it in the perennial border. <br />Caro gave me a heads up on the comfrey as well, so it will be put in a large pot with my mints. If you need an injury to heal, just make up comfrey tea and let it cool and pour over cut. At one point our govt was talking of making quite a few herbs illegal to buy (Yayyy drug companies...like we can't see though that), and one of them was comfrey. So now, I'm going to plant the herbs I use and find valuable.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-49161833255874894142012-01-02T19:43:29.148-08:002012-01-02T19:43:29.148-08:00I love your Richter's order.

I've never been able to grow globe artichoke and I've never planted comfrey because once it is planted it is there for good. I guess I better get with the program and get my Richter's order done.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954826148369517031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-70741239453391501222012-01-01T11:57:05.453-08:002012-01-01T11:57:05.453-08:00Happy New Year !!!Happy New Year !!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-32332514950836605612012-01-01T11:55:36.126-08:002012-01-01T11:55:36.126-08:00Hi Caro.

Also, most of the veggies will only get one 8 foot row. Because I don't know what I'm doing, and I have no idea what will grow well here on the island, I'm treating this year like 'seed trials' year. And hopefully we will have lots of veg in the process. <br />Thank you so much for the comfrey tip. I had no idea and would have put it in the herb area. I will put it in a large pot and put it with the potted mints. <br />I am honestly having the time of my life, and get so much joy out of this, you have no idea. Today I have to spread a bucket of coffee grounds around my acid loving rhododendron. I feel like I used to on the last day of school before summer vacation. Unbridled happiness.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-78574438273088606202012-01-01T07:31:22.525-08:002012-01-01T07:31:22.525-08:00Erin, you're going to be busy if you need to s...Erin, you're going to be busy if you need to sow these all at once when you get back from your holiday! Be careful with the comfrey, it's a real spreader so needs to go in it's own corner or bucket if you don't want it to take over! Looking forward to seeing how you get on in 2012, very best wishes for the new year!

I am betting you could get some plants you can't find anywhere. We live in the garden capital of Canada and we can't get many of the plants in our many garden centres.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-42866824458572408652011-12-31T17:47:47.301-08:002011-12-31T17:47:47.301-08:00Hi KL. if you want a real treat, go into the Richt...Hi KL. if you want a real treat, go into the Richters website and look at the plants they have available and the prices. If I'm recalling correctly, they have 42 different mint varieties alone. It's awesome!!! I think they ship to the USA.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-88115571129163148442011-12-31T13:50:38.031-08:002011-12-31T13:50:38.031-08:00It seems like the plants in Canada are much cheape...It seems like the plants in Canada are much cheaper compared to the US.

They are the one tomato that everyone seems to mention, so I can't wait to try them. Isn't it crazy. We pay a TON for postage in Canada. we actually have to pay twice as much, over a dollar, if it is a square envelope. Oh gosh, I shouldn't get started. It's a real pet peeve. I just decided to get a jmp on the herbs and strawberries. Other than that, I'm seeds all the way. <br />Hi GT. thanks for the thumbs up. I just kept reading and don't really know what I'm doing. I'm glad you think it looks like a good selection.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-69770779700906228902011-12-30T11:17:33.804-08:002011-12-30T11:17:33.804-08:00wow, you'll be busy come springtime :)

It's a good one, and it would have been in good company with all the other toms you have ordered. <br />Seeing the price you pay for the plants (and their shipping) reminds me why I grow most of my stuff from seeds these days.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
