Hortus Botanicus Seed Packets
Now here’s a cool way to make your own custom seed packets! I picked these up at Hortus Botanicus on my last trip to Mendo. Looks like they used coin envelopes and printed labels using their own photos of plants in bloom. Very classy and very clever.
Inside the envelopes, seeds were stored in smaller waxed paper envelopes. Germination instructions were tucked inside as well.

BOOK: Roses for Northern California
Just when I think I’m strong enough to look at gardening books online without being tempted to buy… I stumble upon Roses for Northern California by local rosarian Muriel Humenick. To make matters worse, it’s brand spankin’ new. Published last month. I have to at least put it on my wish list.
