During this period of sheltering at home for much of America, vegetable gardening has quickly become one of the nation’s top pastimes. Not only is it a great way to get outdoors, but done well, it can also (eventually) limit the number of trips you’ll have to make to your local grocery store. If you’re thinking about planting a garden but aren’t sure where to start, look no further—ELLE Decor has found the best direct-to-consumer seed companies that specialize in organic produce.

PREFACE
We may regard the successful growth of the orange tree as marking the outer limit of the subtropical re- gions, where frosts are of short duration and the year is divided into hot and cool seasons. The coconut palm marks the boundary of the outer tropical belt, which has also more or less distinct cool and hot sea- sons, but as a rule no frosts. The equatorial belt, oh the other hand, has no distinct cool season. In the subtropical regions, tropical vegetables may be grown well in the hot season, and temperate vegetables, which can survive any slight frosts that may occur, can be very successfully raised in the cool season. In the outer tropical or trade-wind belts, some temperate vege- tables can be grown fairly well in the cool season. In the subtropical and especially in the tropical lands, an elevation of a few thousand feet produces a remarkable change in the climate ; and temperate vegetables can be cultivated at such a height even in the equatorial belt, and still more successfully towards the borders of the tropical belt. Thus the subtropical regions can grow at different times of the year and at different heights, nearly all the vegetables of the world. Except in North India, where numbers of Europeans have re- sided for a long time, and in certain subtropical coun- tries like peninsular Florida, it is probable that the

FOREWORD
NOT everybody has a garden. Some deny themselves the pleasure and the profit of one because they have never had any experience in gardening, and have somehow got the impression that special training is necessary to make a success of the undertaking. Here is where they make a mistake. There is no special knack about it. Any one who owns a bit of land, and has some time that can be given to garden-work, and an inclination to do so, can make a gardener of himself in a season — and a successful one, too — if he allows himself to be governed by the advice of some one who has had some experience along this line.

TO THE TRADE:
I am glad of this opportunity to present you with my “Wholesale List of High Grade Seeds* I realize fully that QUALITY COUNTS FOR MORE in this than in any other line of merchandise, and I do not need to tell you that cheap seed, grown by irresponsible growers in a careless and haphazard manner, with but the one object in view of reducing the cost of production regardless of quality, are never cheap seed to buy, no matter at what price they can be, procured* Such seed are sure to be a sore disappointment to the one who uses them and an injury to the trade of the dealer who sells them. The prosperity of the country, the advance in wages and better prices for produce has had its effect in a general way upon the value of seeds, and no one should expect to get their seed at as low a price as in the last few years of depression, light trade and overproduction* Prices of seed are firm and advancing* Not in years have all the conditions of the seed trade been as healthy as at present* Competition is brisk among seedsmen, but we do not find it necessary to put the price below the cost of production in order to effect sales* There is no surplus stock in sight and of very many things there will not be enough to go around* We want to congratulate all who placed their orders for bulk seed with us early, as they have profited by so doing, and I would suggest that any who have not ordered attend to the matter as soon as possible, as there are many items on which the supply will be exhausted before the season is over.

What is your favorite vegetable? Leave a comment and share!
I’m always intrigued by the quality of vegetables-both as food and photographic subjects-at the Sherman Oaks farmers market.
We try to visit weekly to pick up fresh veg for the house and enjoy a few moments outdoors.
Over the years I’ve taken many photos which I’ve later used as posters and other products for sale via my Redbubble account. Nothing shines out more than a great beautiful looking picture of great beautiful tasting food.
