Custom grown flowers by Susan Iglehart

Some gardeners sniff at annuals, but not Susan Iglehart.

The Glyndon, Md., gardener grows all sorts of new, different and hard-to-find annuals in her greenhouses, and sells them to anyone willing to make the trip to her gorgeous property in May to pick them up. (She doesn't ship!)

Susan's list of annuals, vegetables and herbs is available on line, and orders are due by Feb. 14, so she can start her seeds. And she starts THOUSANDS of seeds.

She grows giant zinnias, unique geraniums, a long list of dependable annuals that can handle Maryland heat, and lots of heirloom tomatoes and organic herbs.

Visit her website, check out her list of plants. You can order on-line, by mail or fax.

I have been a fan and customer of Susan's for years, and was thrilled when she gave me permission to share her with you here on Garden Variety.

Susan is the grower who will provide you with just what you need for your borders, containers and vegetable patch.

I just sent my order off this week. I have never ordered from her before but could not resist once I got her list! So glad to hear that you are going to use her plants too!

And she is the SWEETEST person!--Susan

Wow! What a great resource! Thanks so much for sharing with us -- I will be perusing her order form and faxing it in before Monday's deadline. I especially love that she has heirloom tomato varieties.

I also placed an order. I like to buy locally, and given my abysmal success rate with starting seeds myself, this sounds great!

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
