TBGDN's Plant List

A note from TBGDN
All plants listed have at some time been grown here on the property. In most cases they still are. Time & circumstances might have changed the current status of some plants. For example annuals might be here one year and gone the next. Some veggies are dropped because of poor quality or lack of hardiness and disease resistence. Status can be summed up with terms like, "permanent perennial residents, losses due to weather, diseases, annuals only, or simply vanished for unknown reasons". As time permits I will attempt updates & edits where needed. Should anyone have a question don't hesitate to T-Mail me. Thanks for browsing my list.
