Plants & Seeds Our Mission We are practicing organic gardeners/farmers as were our grandparents before us. We have a healthy respect for the land, attempting at every conceivable challenge to not use pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Respecting that our children and our grandchildren will take over the torch from us, it is important to leave the land in better shape than we received it. We have signed the Safe Seed Pledge. Agriculture and seeds provide the base upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all gardeners, farmers and consumers who want an alternative, We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further expose the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities. It is the priority of this Greenhouse to trial and offer open-pollinated heirloom varieties for their historical significance, diversity and endurance. Occasionally some “none heirloom” varieties have shown to be different enough to fill some customers’ curiosity. If it is open-pollinated, then we will offer them. We will try to replace these, if an identical heirloom has been found. We do not pretend to be experts in the area of Heirlooms. We will try our best to offer varieties that are true to their most accurate history as we know it. Occasionally people write us informing us of a variety’s history, as they know it. If they can support their claims, we will gladly change our information to reflect the more accurate one. Thank you for your patience and understanding in the ever changing world of information. 1 Welcome (to Mandy's Greenhouse!) For gardening folks new to this site, our Greenhouse resides near the town of Tyndall in Manitoba , Canada. Some History: Over 17 years ago, due to excessive perennial flower plants (and the need for change…) numerous plant/garage sales began. 13 years ago, about 50 tomato plants were left over after the garden was planted (Lemon Boy, Beef master, Oxheart, Sugar Cherry, Manitoba and Giant Belgium) and these were offered up for sale. They immediately sold out! Following this pleasant surprise, approximately 50-100 more plants have been introduced each year to the inventory. Today the grown plant inventory (only of tomatoes) stands at about 2000. ( Hobby Greenhouse??) My listing comprises of approximately 400 varieties of tomatoes, 120 peppers and numerous other unusual varieties of vegetables from Canada, US, Germany, France, Africa, India, Australia, Sweden, Czech, and many more countries too numerous to mention. Every attempt is made to insure that the varieties chosen are in fact true to type. A lot depends on accessing reliable records when available and their descriptions. A lot of time and research (combined could equal to years!) has been used in obtaining this kind of information. More importantly, almost all the vegetables and for sure ALL alpine/rock garden plants have been trialed at the greenhouse, so if you should ask me about it, I will have some personal info. to share with you about it (whether it is a success story or not…in our eyes). For a vegetable to be offered by this greenhouse, it should be able to offer a unique trait, consistently from any other of its kind. Every attempt will be made to describe this trait where possible. Many will be chosen for extensive and interesting histories, old fashioned or extreme flavor differences, growth type, form and visual appearance and where possible… a satisfying and efficient production. Hopefully, customers will find something here they may not find at any other greenhouse/nursery/seed site. In the past couple of years, more people have tested/trialed and seriously attempted to live the 100 mile diet. After doing some research on the subject, it is felt that the offerings at our G.H. are right in line with this “simplicity of living”! Time has proven, in today’s society this can be a huge challenge with so many “unhealthy conveniences” milling right around us, that going back to basics is more a necessity than the accepted truth. We hope that the selections found within our store will help make it more fun and easier than you may once have thought. And finally it has been recognized (and will be respected) that people have different tastes, dietary habits, health needs and issues. Because I have trialed many, I will personally be able to recommend those most suitable for you. Feel free to “hob-nob” with me anytime! As in all walks of life, something may be overlooked. Do not hesitate to write or call me, so that I can add the information to the site. On a final note, if there is someone out there that feels they have an interesting or unusual vegetable plant… be it beans, carrots, cucumbers or what have you…give me a call! I am always looking for the bizarre, weird and wonderful and you might just have exactly that! Hopefully within the pages of this catalogue, you can make yourself at home. There is much to read, learn and enjoy….like a good book! 2 About Mandy I am a self-taught gardener (as are many of you….) AND I have a sincere love for all living/growing things be they animal or plant. I had my first garden, when I was 6 years old, carved out of a brome grass patch (by me…), measuring about 4ft. by 6ft oval. My parents offered a corner of their garden, but their garden (was generously over run with Purslane…) and always cultivated over in the fall. That was not what I wanted! At the top, I planted a gooseberry plant and to the south, all the vegetable seed and plants that I could shove in! I also found an abandoned cold frame in our back forest, that great grandpa had made many years before. I found that it grew some great shade plants. Not bad offerings for a beginner! As time passed, I grew up (?), moved from home and married. Gardens were always in some way, a large and central part of my life. Not a year went by that I did not have one….be it a flower or vegetable garden! I have experimented with (and sometimes succeeded with) all types of manure, insects, diseases, fertilizers, soils and amendments. I have also grown African Violets & Streptocarpus (violet cousins)…for shows, houses plants, roses, raspberries, strawberries, tons of perennial flowers, lilies, some trees, fruit trees, grapes and now finally alpine/rock garden plants and heirloom vegetables. My greatest influences have been, first and foremost, my parents and my grandparents. As I transgressed thru life, I met many like-minded warm garden folk, who in some form or other have influenced me and honored me with their friendship. I have had the honor of learning so many things from so many. (And I am still learning…) I feel so blessed for the knowledge that I have acquired. Pretending not to feel too old, I have accumulated more than 50 years of travelling in the “shoes” of plants. I hope that what is offered within the pages of this catalogue/website will excite you enough to give some of these beauties a try. Mandy 3 Message Board In 2000, May 1st, I became a “young” retiree! Yippee! No longer did I have to juggle my hobby with the hours and strain of my full-time job. It has been over a year since I cheered and celebrated. How had I blended these 2 entities of my life as well as my family??! Have I taken on more now? Perhaps! The files and record books are huge! Am I more organized (?) Maybe…. For those who are new to my catalogue/website, I am the only worker/proprietor of Mandy’s Greenhouses, handling all affairs…from analyzing inventory, to history searches, to ordering, to germination & germination testing, to trialing out over 200 varieties yearly in my & friends gardens, to growing, to harvesting, to processing, to selling and to finally shipping. This does simplify things, but it does not reduce the workload. Just look at the offerings and wonder how ALL this could get done! As mentioned before, I am a self-taught gardener. I have therefore, made more mistakes perhaps than most. However, I feel confident that the plants that I will offer you, will be the very best of my efforts. The primary offerings at the greenhouse are young, ready-to-go heirloom vegetables and alpine/rock garden plants. (see website photos) Some vegetable seed will also be offered, where plants are not wise or practical. In the true theme of the greenhouse, I will also carry organic fertilizers (that we, too use….), soil amendments, a wonderful assortment of useful organic gardening and related to gardening books, DVD’s and best of all…TUFA rock/gravel/soil …for the alpine gardener purist. I like to keep things simple. All plants will have gone thru a rigorous conditioning program……exposure to sun, wind, rain and fluctuating temperatures. Fertilizer program has been kept simple and organic. Potting soil is a type that the greenhouse program can function best with.

    05 in the front line 21-09-2010 11:36 am Page 1 In the front line Judy Harry Plants that grow in the front line perform many functions. They have to provide the first line of defence against careless invasions by mowers, feet, even livestock (fig. 1) They form at one and the same time the start and the finish of the border, leading the eye to statuesque and imposing plants at the rear, or allowing the eye to come to a comfortable stop at the front. Which all sounds rather prosaic, not to say functional. One of the pleasures of last year’s gardening for me was being able to see some of my ‘front liners’ with fresh eyes, not just as the useful plants they undoubtedly are, but also as the star performers they can be in their own right. It all started with the flowering of Jovellana violacea (fig. 2). Having bought it as a very small plant on the 2002 Autumn Weekend, I planted it where I could keep an eye on it. Each spring, in my ignorance, I cut it back to tidy it up, assuming that it would produce flowers later in the summer: exactly the wrong thing to do. This interesting little shrublet flowers on the previous year’s wood in early summer, and Addison © Twink with time will form a thicket of upright stems, bearing pale, whitish-mauve pouched flowers with spotted throats. My poor plant, of course, never had mature enough stems to produce so much as a spot, let alone whole pouches.

  • Aztec Culture Education Update
    Aztec Culture Education Committee Ideas Report Draft August 2018 ORIGINAL CHARGE/FRAMEWORK A committee of cross campus partners including faculty, staff and students was formed at the end of the 2016- 2017 academic year to work on and develop a comprehensive Aztec culture educational plan. As a result of the committee meetings, a number of proposed initiatives were identified. The charge of the group and the basis of the conversations have revolved around fulfilling prior commitments made by the campus, as an example: Associated Students Referendum Spring 2008, passed Implementation of an Aztec Culture Project. The Project will include three elements intended to promote historically accurate portrayals of the Aztec Culture: new botanical gardens around the campus that include indigenous plantings from areas where the Aztecs thrived, a glass-mosaic mural that depicts historically accurate images portraying the origins of the Aztec Culture, and educational programs about the Aztec Culture that would be offered to all new SDSU students As the committee incorporated the recognition of the University’s relationship to local Indian groups as well as other indigenous groups from Mexico that comprise the larger University community. To begin prioritizing ideas and potential campus efforts, the following framework has been created from the current committee’s discussions, to categorize the overarching topical areas and objectives identified to date: San Diego State University will enrich the environment and deepen campus learning, both inside and outside the classroom, by enhancing Aztec Culture Education knowledge and understanding by strategically: • Expanding opportunities for scholarship regarding Aztec Culture, as well as local indigenous and Native American groups, through innovative courses, experiences, and engagement.
