When shopping the seed catalogs, I realize I’m probably more likely to consider a tomato or pepper I haven’t grown before, or some unusual annual flower, than to try some new-to-me herb. But what a shame.  I need to modify that behavior and spice things up a bit.

I need to move beyond what today’s guest, Hudson Valley Seed Company’s co-founder K Greene, calls the “the must-have” more standard types of herbs, and give some garden space to ones he labels the “try these, too” kinds. 

K Greene is co-founder with Doug Muller of Hudson Valley Seed in Accord, New York, and with their team on their certified organic farm there, they produce much of the seed they sell. Their catalog is a mix of vegetables, flower and herbs – our topic today – all of them open-pollinated and including many heirlooms.
