Even though I was born and lived in the city, I grew up on my
grandparent's farm.
Every spring they planted a vegetable garden to have fresh vegetables
for eating and for canning for the rest of the year. They also had flower
gardens, trees and shrubs.
They grew these plants with seeds that were brought over from Poland,
"the old country", as did all the other immigrants who came to America
from their respective home lands. These seeds were handed down from
generation to generation like any other valuable family heirloom.
One of my personal favorites is the Polish Pink Tomato. Seeds
for this tomato were brought to this country more than 100 years ago by my
Great Grandparents! We are pleased to announce that we have the seeds of
this fine heirloom variety for sale. It is low in acid, grows to over a
pound, takes 69 to 80 days to mature, and is great fresh in tomato
sandwiches or for canning. The price is $2.95 for 20 seeds with shipping
and handling included.
Another variety we are featuring is the Flaming Hillbilly. A bicolor
that also grows to over a pound in size. Great fresh. The growing time
more than 80 days. The price is $2.95 for 20 seeds with shipping and
handling included.
If you would like to be sure of receiving some of theses fine heirloom
seeds, send us your name and e-mail address:WildWestSage.com , as
supplies will be limited.
In our opinion, there is nothing quite like having a garden full of
heirloom vegetables and other plants for their timeless quality, taste and
beauty.
We felt that it was important to include varieties of these heirloom
plants, vegetables, flowers, shrubs and trees on our site because they are
a part of the "Western Experience" also.
This Old Fashioned Purple Lilac bush is growing on our property
in Ellisforde, WA, where there is an old homestead. All that remains are
parts of the foundation, so this bush has certainly been there a long
time!
When this lilac bush is in bloom the fragrance is heavenly!
Plants are $10.95 each for a 12-24" plant shipped semi-bare root with
heavy root systems.
These Purple Iris are also growing on our property. It evidently
was planted near the front door and has spread over the years into a
gorgeous patch. They only grow about 12" tall. The bloom itself is
about 3" tall and 3" wide.
They are $6.99 per rhizome. For each full price rhizome purchased, you
can buy a second one for 1/2 price!
