The Nemesia Carnival Mix, 'Nemesia strumosa Nana Compacta', has very brilliantly colored flowers on a dwarf plant. Cute as a button, this wonderful cool season annual has snapdragon-like flowers. They come in shades of cream, yellow, blue, orange, crimson, pink, and bicolors. The 3/4 inch funnel-shaped flowers with a pouch at the base are borne on 3 to 4 inch spikes. The Carnival Mix blooms in the spring through early summer. The Nemesia prefers full sun or afternoon shade in hot summer climates. They do best in rich garden soil that is high in organic matter. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. In warm climates, plant in spring or fall. In short season climates plant after last average frost date. Carnival Mixes are excellent for cut flowers, containers, hanging baskets, edging, and borders. ... more info

Carrot - Thumbelina Thumbelina was a 1992 All America Winner and is great in heavy soils and pots. Because of its small size, it is great for shallow, clay soils and containers. The Thumbelina is a 1. 5 to 2 inch long and 1. 5 inches thick, almost round orange carrot. Carrot seed germinates in soils as cold as 45 degrees, but performs best in warm soils. The first sowing should be 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost. Do successive planting every 3 weeks until 70 days before the first fall frost. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal. Even moisture is essential.
