When my wife and I moved t the 50′s burbs from our downtown condo a few years back, we were introduced to gardening (and frankly, lawnmowing) for the first time.

We found our niche in hostas, as our yard was so shady. One hundred fifty varieties later, I concur with your weakness for variegation – the ‘streakers’ and aberrations are our premier plants. Love your Golden Zebra above. Now if I only had time to tend to them properly…

Our gardening has led to a passion for heirloom tomatoes – we grow about 10 varieties each year in the one sunny spot on our lawn. And all this horiculture has led me (as an archiect) to design a modern residential hot house system for rooftops as an alternative to boring shingled roofs. Vegetables year-round. A new way of sustainability: sustainable year-round vegetable gardens.

Keep up the good work!

LOVE your two picks of Golden Zebra and Sweet Tea. Yowza! I always knew you had a price. Of course, I also always knew it involved either plants or man candy (aka bacon), preferably on top of a lovely maple brined pork roast. Isn’t it time for Melissa to have us for dinner????
