I'm here to toot my own horn:

📯 The yellow hollyhock I'm offering, I've been growing in my garden for years. It comes up faithfully every year and reseeds itself so it's establishing a nice grouping. I'm 99% certain it was originally Swallowtail Seeds' Russian Yellow. The flowers are delicate and ruffly and make a great companion with a short salvia or something of the sort. They often need some support if they aren't planted with a bush to hold them up, but it's worth it.

📯 I honestly don't know where my red hollyhock came from - it's in the middle of my "purple corner" but it's such a gorgeous deep red and makes such a beautiful little star in the center, I can't bear to evict it.

Many of these full packets I'm offering are ones I bought extra of because they have performed so well in my garden and I really overestimated how many I'd plant/give away every year!

I really love the "space master" and "bush champion" cucumbers for small spaces. This year I planted from my open 2017 packets and thought I'd need to seed heavily but nope, the germination rate was perfect. More cucumber plants than I knew what to do with!

Okay that's enough horn tooting. Anyone who has seeds they would like to highlight for me? 😁
