A Garden Love Story

Wall-to-wall color, everything you need for vegetable gardening and much more!


It happens every year. Somewhere between the last frost and the first sunny day that sticks, we get a little… twitchy. The birds start singing, the soil softens, and suddenly, there’s a wild look in the eyes of gardeners everywhere. Yes, friends, it’s not just spring fever—it’s full-blown garden love.


This romance is rooted in the dirt. It’s primal. The scent of fresh soil, the rustle of new leaves, and the promise of what’s to come—it’s enough to make any plant lover swoon. For me, that fever burns hottest for peppers. Not just any peppers—extremely hot peppers. Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost, Thai Dragon… just the names bring a tear to my eye. Sometimes from joy. Sometimes from capsaicin.


But maybe nuclear heat isn’t your thing. Fear not—we’ve got you covered. With over 20 other “milder” hot varieties and 20+ sweet ones, there’s a pepper for every palate. Not a pepper person at all? You’ll love our selection of over 60 tomato varieties—classic heirlooms, disease-resistant hybrids, and everything in between.


And herbs? We’ve got over 60 kinds to spark your senses and elevate your cooking. Whether you’ve got a full garden or just a sunny windowsill, you can grow something great. Oh yeah, everything that flowers is here…EVERYTHING!  Let your garden desires run wild—it’s spring, after all.
