Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

On the 3rd day God created plants.

Interesting information on page 11 of the 1911 catalog (first link).

"Castor bean seed is much used to drive moles away. A few seed dropped in the runs will make the moles leave".

I did not know this.
