Blue Porterweed! So this is for those of us who love to plant for pollinators! If you do, then you need to snag one of these! It is one of the best plants for attracting butterflies and other pollinators, including hummingbirds. This is butterfly and bumble bee candy 😍😋. Give our Nebraska pollinators a treat of what their friends down south get to feast on! I was only able to propagate 4 additional plants from my plant last year so if you want one let me know! They are delightful and I planted mine near my tomatoes and cucumbers last year and it added a pop of color! This is a staple in my garden! I also have 3 starter Duranta which is also a tropical plant that butterfly’s swarm! Both the Duranta and the Porterweed are $6 per plant. Message me if you would like to secure one of them before the sale!

Mexican flame vine is a show stopper of profuse blooming. It’s a very fast grower and blooms non stop all summer. These are my plants from last year and the pollinators LOVE this thing! These vines are not grown by seed, they were propagated from my plant I overwintered. They can be put in ground or do beautifully in containers with a trellis. Again, only a handful, so plant page followers are welcome to message me and I will pull and hold with Venmo!

If you would like to secure one you can always message me!

Have a pet free area and want something exotic? Trumpet flowers are so stunning! Limited quantity of 3 of each color. Not easy to grow from seed but the ones I got are so healthy and growing!
Great for pool or patio areas for those who like an evening swim and enjoy the blooms at night with their amazing scent ! The "moonflower bush" a Datura species, which are known for their large, trumpet-shaped white flowers that bloom at night. While often called a bush, these plants are actually shrubs or woody plants, not vines like the more common "moonflower" vine (Ipomoea alba). Grown annually, they make an excellent container plant! This year I have limited quantity of both all white and the Ballerina Purple Devils Trumpet.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Key Characteristics of Moonflower Shrubs (Datura):
* Night-blooming: They open their large, trumpet-shaped white flowers in the evening and close during the day.
* Fragrant: This Datura species have a strong, sweet fragrance, especially at night.
* Toxicity: All parts of Datura plants are highly toxic and should not be ingested. So if you have dogs, this can only be in an area or container they cannot get to!
With the Purple Ballerina:
Datura metel 'Ballerina Purple' unfolds its exotic, upright flowers filled with many furled, silvery white petals backed in deep purple. As the sun sets, these blossoms send an intoxicating scent floating into the night air. All parts of this plant are poisonous.
* Height: 24 to 36 inches
* Width: 24 inches
* Exposure: Full Sun but does decent as long as 6 plus hours !

If you want to assure they do not sell out, you can always prepurchase via venmo! Mature plant pics in 1-4 , , following plant pics are my actual plants already blooming! $7 per plant

Organic Little Leaf 🥒🥒(pics 3&4)

Broad disease resistance and stress tolerance.
Blocky, medium-length (3-5") Vines are compact, multibranching, and yield well even under stress. Half normal-sized leaves provide easy visibility and harvesting. White spines. Parthenocarpic. High resistance to anthracnose, angular leaf spot, bacterial wilt, and scab; and intermediate resistance to cucumber mosaic virus, downy mildew, and powdery mildew.

Open Pollinated. Compact plant produces high yields of 3 to 5" long emerald green color cucumbers. It may be the highest yielding pickling cucumber on the market today, producing 25 to 30 cucumbers per plant! An excellent cucumber for salads and pickling. Parthenocarpic variety and no male pollen is needed, so even if bees are scarce you'll still get a bumper crop.

Bush Pickle (pics 1&2)🥒🥒

Early harvest on only 45-50 days!
Ideal for containers and small gardens, Bush Pickle Cucumber’s compact vines only spread 24 to 30 inches instead of the 5′ sprawl of classic cucumbers! Her perfect pickling cucumbers are early and abundant; indeed, so cute and often push fruit in pairs, one single plant can produce up to 66 fruits on a single plant! So no lack of fruit since the production is crazy good! Flavor of fruit is sweeter when picked at 5 inches or under! Broad disease resistance and stress tolerance.

Mark your calendars! This years sale is a little different from before. Unfortunately I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I grew what I could this season, but most everything has to go, including houseplants, so I can focus on my treatment and recovery , so you will not want to miss the deals! I really appreciate everyone’s support the last few years for these sales and this year will help a ton to create a buffer financially for me as I go through treatment. I will have flower annuals, cannas (pictured in this post) , cucumbers, tropicals, as well as LOTS of houseplants and succulents. This will be during the Bennington community garage sales. I will announce times shortly. I will try to post some highlights of plants but you can always message me if you are looking for something specific! Hope to see you there!
