Remember everything that Spring can bring. Tom Waits Spring. New growth, new light, new life. Time for looking, sowing, planting. Plato wrote that there were four things to do for a full life: write a book, build a house, bear a son and plant a tree. We'll add to his excellent advice and suggest you plant a Pakistani mulberry tree. This tree is easy to grow in Zones 7-10, is worthy of a central spot in your garden, and will give amazing berries for your dining room table that you cannot buy anywhere, for any price. 2010 brings wonderful new selections for your garden. In addition to new pomegranate varieties, we're very excited about the Janice Seedless Kadota fig and Pistachio trees, straight out of the tales of Scheherazade. Our new seed kits include ethnic herb selections from Thailand to New Delhi to Naples, so be sure to take a look at these offerings. Pakistani Mulberry Tree pm5$70.00 Gardening books are always a pleasure. Please check out Gregory Levin's account of his adventures in the world of pomegranates.
