    We were so happy to find this in your catalog; seed has gotten hard to find, though it used to be popular. My German grandmother taught me to use it. We love green beans, and when I can them, I always include a bit. When I freeze blanched beans, I always put a sprig of summer savory in the container to cook with them later. Thank you!

    I am just planting both Savory seeds inside in sun porch, and did not get the little zinnias or anything else on the list. I hope for better luck next year.
