Thank-You Kath for finding and sharing the Double Helix Farms website.
Very Nice, easy to navigate through and lots of useful information.
I kept the link in my IE favorites folder. They have a few varieties that I find very interesting.

Not to babble on, but in their "gardening tips" section (that is beautifully written) talks about not planting your seeds too deep reminds me of a similar story. My Master Gardener Training tells me to plant my tomato plants deep, a gardening friend Etta Fears a 94 y/o woman does the opposite. She cant bend over anymore so when she is ready to plant her tomatoes she buys a 4 pack pulls them out of their plastic cells and drops them on the ground and puts a shovel of dirt on top of them. Done. Of course we are all in shock because she is doing it ALL wrong but you should see her garden. Fabulous.
Etta Fears quote: My friends have canes and walkers and I have hoes and rakes.

I am not sure where this fond memory came from but you can feel the love when reading the Double Helix Farms gardening tips and other useful gardening info. Thanks Double Helix for jogging that memory.
