This is what it says: "We will also be hosting our First Annual Vintage and Heirloom Plants Sidewalk Sale, May 21-22. This sale will have vintage and heirloom flowers, vegetables and herbs, most of which have never been offered for sale as plants. We would love to see you there."

I ordered many of my seeds from them this year and was very pleased with what I received. I have been getting tired of the tiny fraction of a gram packaged by many seed companies these days. They package in several sizes, so it is very economical if you want an ounce or so instead of a packet.

All I get is=Account for domain landrethseeds.com has been suspended.
I did see a 1932 Landreth catalog listed on the E-bay site.

The whole place, although small, looked very cheery, like a party. I didn't know there was a lobby in the building that we could visit. I'll have to go in next year.

I picked up 21 plants and some seeds. I was very pleased to find the melon Noir des Carmes and the Golden Midget watermelon. Got some Calabrese broccoli, Broccoverde cauliflower, Mexican sour gherkin cukes, 2 varieties of red lettuce, Minnesota Midget melon, a Fairytale eggplant (anyone knows if it an OP? It's a 2005 AAS winner), and a little Thai green pea eggplant.

The same lady asked me how I knew about the sale. I said I saw it on their website and posted it here on GW for all to see. She said there had been other customers who mentioned an internet site, so I guess it was you, Cecilia, who must have gone. She also said the sale went very well and they'll have it again next year.

As we were leaving I asked the lady if she was the owner and she said yes. Barb, if you read this, I was very pleased to meet you. You've done a terrific job. And thanks for taking me to the harbor. We had a very nice day.

I went to there with a couple of friends on Saturday morning. I only bought a few things, as I have already planted my most of my veggies and annuals. I picked up three different colors of giant zinnias, some "Cherokee Sunset" rudbeckia, and some purple Opal basil. I thought that although there wasn't a huge selection of plants, it was an interesting selection, and everything appeared to be healthy. This was Landreth's first sidewalk sale - perhaps next year's will be bigger.

P.S. - I'm growing Fairytale eggplant this year, and it is a hybrid, not OP.
