By PAgirl63 January 24, 2015 | The Amaryllis Plant for the Brown-Thumbed Gardener I've always had a "brown" thumb when it comes to growing amaryllises. Either I'll grow plants that have lush green leaves and no flowers, or the bulbs will just sit there and sulk. Or even worse, the bulbs turn to mush or they just shrivel up. This year I cheated and had success! (202 words - Read the full article) |

Good selection of Beardless Irises, many of which are their own introductions. I've ordered Japanese Irises from them and was very pleased. They also sell a variety of Bearded Irises.
Great selection of heirloom seeds that never fails to inspire me and increase my desire to grow more. I want to grow everything they sell!
Very good company. They sell only in wholesale quantities, but the lower limit is not high (I think the total order must be $50 or more). I've ordered from them for many years and have always had excellent service and results. They have a sister company, John Scheepers Beauty from Bulbs, that sells the same stock but in smaller quantities and at slightly higher prices. As of 2014, again, same excellent product and good service.
- Rare and heritage varieties - Oregon and Northwest-bred - Public domain, modern varieties - Adaptivars, grexes, and landraces - OP varieties for commercial growers - Winter garden varieties - Early-maturing and northern-adapted varieties - Highly nutritious staple foods Here is a great Kale mix I am looking forward to growing: "A diverse genepool mix of 17 oleracea kales and their crosses. Nick Routledge trialed the 17 kales collected on our 2007 Seed Ambassadors trip and this is what happened the next spring. This grex contains a lot of very interesting diversity of kales not available in the US, not just curly green kales. A combination of Hoj Amager Grunkohl (DK), Madeley (UK), Westphalian (UK), Westland Winter (UK), Westländer Winter (DE), Asparagus Kale (IR, UK), 1,000 Headed kale (DE), Roter Krauskohl (DE), Altmarker Braun (DE), Baltic Red (SE), Blonde Butter of Jalhay (BE), Butterkohl (DE), Nicki's Cut'N'Come Again (IE), Shetland (UK), Hellerbutter Kohl (CH), Cavolo Nero di Toscana (IT), and Ostfriesische Palm (CH). The resulting mix contains the most incredibly vigorous kales we have ever seen – some plants grew 4' tall in 8” of potting soil on top of some serious hardpan topsoil. If you like a mix of diverse kales in your life, this is it."
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
