Some new reviews from the Green Pages:

Kathy547 recommended NATIVE HARVESTS....American Indian Wild Foods & Recipes and wrote:

Recipe collection of plants commonly foraged by Native Americans. Some of the recipes are: Sunflower Seed Soup, Turtle Soup, Raccoon Pie, Irish Moss Jelly, Steamed Cattail Stems, Steamed Young Milkweed Pods, plus many more. There are also sections on plants they used to smoke and use as natural chewing gum. There is a section on poisonous plants as well.

drinkmixr69 recommended Kellogg and wrote:

This company offers a wide variety of organic stuff for your garden. One in particular is called "Amend." A 2-cubic-ft. bag is about $7, and this stuff is so awesome, it makes a novice gardener like me look like a master gardener! 100% completely organic and my garden will never be without it!

Kabby recommended Touch of Nature, Inc. and wrote:

I always enjoy my bulbs that I receive from this vendor. Bulbs are firm, labeled nicely, and I can get 4-5 for the price of one. I'm very pleased with all aspects of Bert's company.
