Forsyth MO - Located at 20130 US Hwy 160 near the intersection of
Hwy 160-76 and just across from the Taney Center is a small
greenhouse called Hill and Hollow Gardens. It's run by a nice lady by
the name of Rachael and is open just about every day of the week
during regular business hours.
I stopped in on a lark to see what was being offered and saw that
there was a good selection of both vegetables as well as flowering
plants and herbs! I was also amazed to see other cars pulling in
while I was there, so the establishment was fairly busy. I'm guessing
there are a lot of folks who are itching to get something planted in
the ground even though it is very early April.
While there, I noticed a selection of tomatoes I was not familiar
with called
MarGlobe. Evidently they are a well know heirloom
variety that offers a good old fashioned tomato taste! Each four pack
was priced at just $2 and so I bought a tray of those as well as a
4-pack of
Better Boy tomatoes which are a variety I've grown
before. I was also pleased to find that Rachael accepts all forms of
payment including visa, debit, checks and cash.
If you get a chance, make it a point to stop by and take advantage
of plants that are just the right size for early transplanting. Update: I believe they are now closed for the season and will be returning next year!
