peppers All of our plants are heirloom varieties and of these we mostly carry unusual varieties you ar unlikely to find elsewhere. We do have some old favorites like Brandywine tomatoes, but we encourage you to try some of our locally developed varieties like Beaver Dam or WI Lakes peppers.

Our plants are high quality and are inexpensive. Compare to Totally Tomatoes, Burpee, and Seed Savers, who sell transplants in similar sized pots for $3.00 to $5.00each plus shipping.
