Okay, 2 things. FIRST, we decided to go b*lls to the w*ll and provide you with Nicotiana tabacum, AKA SMOKING TOBACCO. your discretion as to how to use- euro style rollups, plant collection or homemade insect spray. We don’t judge. SECOND, this Sunday 10-2, we will be at the LARCHMONT VILLAGE FARMERS MARKET. Yay!! And wait - there’s more-that downy grey stunner with the magenta flowers -Pelargonium sidoides- will be available too! Good times, good times. ;)
