Basil Seedlings
Menu Group: Plants and Seeds
Section: Herb Seedlings
Category: Basil
.
Vendor: Whitehill Farm
.
Lemon: Mild basil flavor, but with a distinct lemony scent. The nicest basil for seasoning simple fish dishes! Certified Organic.
Lettuce Leaf: Beautiful huge "rumpled" leaves with a mild and sweet flavor. The leaves are large enough to make tender wraps, or will make a beautiful mild salsa. Certified Organic.
Mammoth: Milder than Sweet Basil, with large leaves that are great snipped into salad. Will need to be covered if you have Japanese beetles - they make a mess of every leaf. Certified Organic.
Red: Mild basil flavor, but a gorgeous red-purple that is beautiful in salads and vinegars. Certified Organic.
Sweet: The classic Genovese basil, great to use fresh, dry, frozen, or infused in vinegar. Makes divine pesto! Certified Organic.

Section: Vegetable Starts
Category: Tomatoes - Cherry
Vendor: Whitehill Farm

Amy's Apricot Cherry Tomato
Menu Group: Plants and Seeds
Section: Vegetable Starts
Category: Tomatoes - Cherry
Vendor: Whitehill Farm
75 days Delicious fruit ...MOSTLY a warm apricot color! Vigorous and productive plants! But a challenging variety to offer. Plants vary a lot, even after years of vigorous selection by the Southern Exposure Seed folks. It tends strongly toward the intensely fruity, sweet, luscious orange spheres we originally described. Many plants bear red fruits, and a wide range of orange types is present as well, in clusters of 2-12 and sizes of ½ - 1½ in.
