Terroir Seeds - Butterfly Milkweed and other info

Trouble reading this email? View the online version! Butterfly Milkweed, Brussels Sprouts & Gardening for Birds Butterfly Milkweed We have another species of milkweed to help the Monarch butterflies! The Butterfly milkweed is very attractive and a hit in both the garden and as a landscape showcase, where it shows off the vibrant deep yellow to orange flowers dripping with butterflies in the late spring to early summer. Add this to your pollinator garden to draw in many different butterflies, bees and beneficial insects. It’s best to plant a variety of milkweed and pollinator attracting flowers that provide food for a diverse ecology of pollinators. You will not only be helping them, but they will visit your garden and the key to great production is excellent pollination, thus growing flowers in or around your garden will reap abundant harvests. Plant now for early spring germination! Brussels Sprouts Brussels sprouts are abundant this time of year because they are a cool season crop and have just been harvested. We have two new recipes showcasing these tiny cabbages in completely unexpected but thoroughly delicious ways. The first recipe – Classic Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts - is rustic, simple and hugely satisfying. I’ve used this recipe to re-introduce others to an entirely different Brussels sprout than they remember. The second recipe - Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple-Dijon Dressing - is a more sophisticated approach that combines the roasting with a delicious twist – a Maple-Dijon dressing that really sets these humble brassicas apart! Try these recipes with fresh from your garden or Farmer’s Market Brussels sprouts, then add them to your wish list and grow some in your garden next year. Gardening for Birds Whether you are a gardener, a birder or know someone who is, we have a fantastic new ‘tweetable’ seed collection that will bring in the birds flocking to your garden! The heart of this new Gardening for Birds collection is the book "Gardening to Attract Birds" which walks you through the ideal garden plan, choosing the flowers and plants to attract birds and other pollinators to your yard. From there we have hand-picked a mix of annuals and perennials that will give a great start to your birding adventure. This makes a highly attractive, extremely thoughtful gift for anyone who knows the joys of gardening or watching birds.
