Greetings Chance.
Have you ever tried the variety Jerzy Kosinski? In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again. As long as the roots are not severed, all will be well. All will be well in the garden |

Greetings Scott. You are right, in a garden, things grow but first some things must wither; some trees lose their leaves before they grow new leaves. Then they grow thicker and stronger and taller. Some trees die, but fresh saplings replace them. Garden needs a lot of care and a lot of love
I have tried Kosinski before and will try again when I have a chance. |

I heard a lot of good things about Shannon's. The problem is that the seeds I planted didn't start so I restarted them. Hopefully I will end up getting some tomatoes
