OMG that chicken planter is awesome. I think Pinky would look really cool perched next to it! I’m trying Black Krim this year, can’t wait until they’re ripe either.

Kim — I cannot wait to try them! So excited. Totally with you on the variegated sages. I have a plain old common sage and it’s much more flavorful than this is.

Joseph — I was impressed with how well it did during our cool, wet late spring weather this year. They held up really well. Can’t wait to try them!

Meemsnyc — They have mostly annuals on their site, but they seem to be branching into culinary items as well. Definitely worth a look.

Black Krim is one of my favorites as well! I like it here in the north because they do pretty well with cool springs and summers. And the flavor, of course, is amazing.

You will ADORE the ‘Black Krim’ tomatoes, I think! They’re so freaking delicious (smoky/rich) that I always plant one, even though they don’t yield as well as ‘Cherokee Purple’ do.

That ‘La Crema’ is cute, but literally ALL of the non-silver culinary sages that I have planted just don’t measure up taste-wise, IMHO. So what do you think of the taste of that’La Crema’ in the flavor department?
