A British Supermarket (undisclosed at the moment but I suspect Jamie Oliver may well be advertising them soon) has announced the introduction of square Water Melons later this year. The Brazilian growers place the fledgling fruit into clear boxes which restrict and shape the final ripe fruit. According to the (slightly biased) spokesman for the store says the square shape makes the fruit ‘easier to store and eat’. I think they will be a big hit until the novelty wears off and we all return to wondering how they get pears into bottles. Article found at the good old BBC on this link See less

The Thirsty Light is an intuitive digital plant moisture sensor that blinks an LED to alert the user when it is time to water a potted plant. It is designed to be unobtrusive when left in the soil of a plant, where it continuosly monitors conditions, testing the moisture level once per second. The circuit that drives the device, called Drypoint, can sense 5 different levels of dryness, causing the light to blink faster as the soil gets dryer, increasing the urgency of its call to action, until it reaches the fifth level, “completely dry”, which puts the device in standby mode to conserve electricity, emitting a double blink every 3 seconds. There is a low-battery mode as well: a slow triple blink. The Thirsty Light comes with a comprehensive and informative user and watering guide, and is backed by a 30 day manufacturer’s warranty. Features: • Drypoint Digital Circuit • Long-lasting LED • Corrosion resitant Brass Probe • 2 replaceable 1.5V Lithium batteries • ABS plastic casing •... See less

One of showiest Daylilies ever grown is also one of the most generous, with a late-season encore. The first time you see Moses' Fire bloom up close, you may just have to go get your measuring stick. The flowers are 6 inches wide, after all, and so packed with petals that they mound a few inches "deep" as well! The color is a velvety deep red with the faintest gold edging, as if to call attention to all those ruffled petals in the center. They are simply breathtaking, and you won't be able to get enough of them during their two long seasons of bloom! The first show is in early to midsummer, and is the more floriferous of the two. Expect fresh blooms nearly every day from these hardworking 22-inch-tall, 18- to 24-inch-wide plants! After this first season, the plant rests through the hottest weeks of the year, then returns with a respectable encore toward summer's end. Fantastic! Like all Daylilies, Moses' Fire is ridiculously easy to grow, tolerating the worst garden stresses and weather... See less

This delightful ornamental Orange is a Kumquat/Sour Mandarin hybrid. Evergreen, bushy, but naturally dwarf, it's made for containers that can be brought to a frost-free location for winter or even grown indoors year-round in a bright, sunny spot! No matter where you live, you will enjoy the heavenly fragrance and decorative small fruit of this delightful little tree, which begins blooming at just 2 years old! Calamondin, often called Sour Mandarin Orange, sets flowers year-round, very sweetly scented and pure white. They in turn become small, attractive, and delightfully sour fruits, which have great staying power on the tree. Very showy, it reaches 12 to 20 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide if unpruned, but may be kept much smaller if desired. For best results, remove the young fruit the first year, so the tree can concentrate its energy on strengthening the trunk and branching out. Keep it well watered and fertilized. Zones 9-11 in the garden; everywhere else in containers. Item Form:... See less

As many as 12 gaily-colored fruits all summer long! Who says Mother Nature hasn't got a sense of humor?

Just 12 inches high, the petite plants can sport a dozen "eggs" in a season! No trouble to grow in any sunny, well-drained spot, Easter Eggplant is actually a member of the Potato family, with wide, lush green foliage protecting the fruit. It is an uncommon delight for the summer garden, and a constant source of wonder to children and the young at heart! Pkt is 25 seeds. See less

This choice form was discovered in Zhejiang Province, China, in 1980. Every shade garden deserves a stand of this Tricyrtis! First collected as seed near Yungi Temple in Zhejiang, China, in 1980, it has proven a most vigorous and free-flowering strain, with upright (rather than arching) stems that bloom not only at the end but along the leaf axils as well. The flowering season continues for 3 months in most climates, with each bloom quite long-lasting (6 weeks isn't unheard of) and uniquely lovely. The flowers are extraordinarily beautiful, even by the elevated standards of the Tricyrtis family. The four base petals are long, slender, and slightly recurved, with a white foundation heavily speckled and dabbed with bright raspberry-purple. Touches of buttery-yellow toward the center of the bloom form a backdrop for the bold maroon-red stamens held high above the petals in a pinwheel fashion. Dramatic and utterly unique! The foliage is handsome as well, a dark shade of green with generous... See less

Bees Need Homes! There are more than 3000 species of wild bees in North America but intensive agriculture and development has reduced the diversity of wildflowers and destroyed natural nest sites. You can give them a helping hand, improve pollination in your garden and enjoy creating a natural habitat. Native bees (Orchard Bees) will most likely colonize this nest once you have it in place on your property. This will help increase your local population available to pollinate your plants. Blue Orchard Mason Bees are excellent pollinators of a wide variety of spring and summer blooming trees, flowers, fruits and herbs. Blue Orchard Mason bees are naturally occurring docile, friendly and solitary making them SAFE around children and pets. Just place the nest horizontally well above the ground in early spring in a warm, sunny, south-facing spot. Mason bees are looking for homes and will begin to appear in spring. You may also purchase a shipment of 5 tubes (6 cocoons per tube) of live bees... See less

Have you ever heard of a Mason Bee? I hadn't, but they are definitely great bees to have around your garden. Unlike most bees, the Mason Bee is a peaceful non-stinging bee that is also a legendary pollinator. These cool bees each visit and pollinate nearly 100 blooms each day, so it would be wise to give them a good home close by with the Mason Bee House ($15). Simply, hang this natural bamboo bee house in a tree or on a wall where it can get plenty of morning sun. The female mason bees will soon fill each of the bamboo tubes with their eggs, nectar and pollen and in return you will have immensely boosted your garden's productivity. Plus, now you can tell everyone you are a beekeeper too. See less

Of all dwarf citrus trees, the Improved Meyer Lemon is one of the hardiest. And it's one of the most productive, for its size. It's not a true lemon tree though. In fact, the mature fruit of the Meyer lemon looks more like a large orange with a small nipple. It makes a delicious lemon substitute nonetheless. The Meyer Lemon flesh is a light orange-yellow color, with juice sweeter than that of most lemons. And, best of all, it is a small compact tree which can grow well in most U.S. climates. Our dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon makes a striking addition to the patio in the summer, resembling a topiary. When it's time to move the plant indoors, the sweet perfume-scented blooms, followed by ornamental fruit, brighten just about any cold spell. Introduced to the United States (from China) in the early twentieth century, it was discovered by Frank N. Meyer, who was on assignment from the USDA as an agricultural explorer. Did You Know? Meyer Lemon trees are among the most popular citrus container... See less
