In anticipation of the growing season, and wanting to offer some unique plants at the farmer’s market this year that our nurseries here in St. Louis don’t offer, I recently became obsessed with a company called Seed Needs. They have an awesome website full of all kinds of useful information. Plus, their seed packets are beautiful. They also sell on Amazon if you prefer to purchase there. You can sign up for their newsletter and get a $5 coupon. There’s chances to earn points for their rewards program on their website as well.

Here are some of my recent purchases that I can’t wait to plant:

St. Johns Wort has all kinds of medicinal benefits, and it produces beautiful flowers.

Borage was the top plant on my list that I made last year of things I wanted to plant this year. Pretty flowers. Great taste. I’ve never grown it before or tasted it, so I’m very excited about this one. I purchased the blue.

We had a lot of luck with sunflowers in the garden last year with just a simple pack I bought at the hardware store. When I saw this red variety on the website, I knew I wanted to try them.

I’ll be sure to share photos later on of how everything is growing.
