Mexican Torch Sunflower/Tithonia

Behold, the Golden Flower of the Aztecs! We love this branching sunflower so much we’ve declared it the mascot pollinator of our Sunny Patch Growing Project. Seeds can be obtained, courtesy of Good Worx Inc., at City Hall.

Mad Hatter Pepper

We add whimsy where we can and this pepper was a hit when we introduced it to our families in 2017.

 

Chives

They keep growing and growing and growing - we’ve got this edible allium throughout our sunny patches around town - and they make any potatoes better - what’s your favorite use of chives?
