  • The Harvesting History Heirloom Daisy Grubber

    Dec 14, 2020

    The Harvesting History Heirloom Block Daisy Grubber This tool is actually quite old – probably first introduced by the British in the mid-to-late 1800s. It is the ideal weeding tool for extracting single taproot weeds – some of the most difficult weeds to be removed from a garden. The stamped, stainless steel, forked blade is bent to allow for maximum leverage in prying the taproot from the soil. The Burgon & Ball Daisy grubber has received Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society’s Endorsement of Distinction for its exceptional functionality and material endurance. The Daisy Grubber is constructed of a tempered stainless steel blade measuring 6.5 inches with a forked tip approximately 1.5 inches long. This stainless-steel head is anchored firmly in a 5.5 inch, hardwood handle.

  • Allium, Christophii

    Aug 25, 2020

    ALLIUM, Christophii Allium christophii has, perhaps, the largest globes in the Allium family. Its globes can reach a diameter of 10-12 inches and often do. The flowers are actually umbrels which consist of 60-100, 6-8 inch, dark purple, sometimes metallic-blue, stalks that circle evenly around a central mass forming a large globe. At the end of each stalk is the real flower, a floret, which is a 6 pointed star with a bright green center. The globes are positioned on a single sturdy stem that is only 12-14 inches tall. Including its globe, an average Christophii is usually no more than 18-24 inches tall. Unlike many Alliums which form densely clustered, fuzzy balls on the top of their stems, Christophii’s globe is a lacey, elegant ball where
