AAS winners for 2009 this year are for your dinner table, mainly. With everyone's interest pivoting on the insecurity of our economy and our jobs... the gardening world naturally turns its attention to ...FOOD. Eggplant F1 ‘Gretel", Melon F1 ‘Lambkin’, and Squash F1 ‘Honey Bear’ are three of the offerings, only one is the flower, Viola F1 ‘Rain Blue and Purple’. Although you can eat pansy petals, too.

All are f1 hybrids which means they are selectively bred to "produce a new, uniform variety with specific characteristics from either or both parents" -Wikipedia

No, I had never heard of it, either; but on GardenAdvice .couk is an intriguing article telling all about it. Effective Micro Organisms (EMS), a combination of Yeasts and Fungi mixed into bran as a carrier and spreader,  work by speeding up composting, and at the same time these micro-organisms prevent those horrible smells to which composting is sometimes prone. According to the article it is used either outside or in a bin in the house- supposedly even utilizing meat and table scraps- always a big  no-no for most compost heaps. It sounds like something that would be a boon for gardeners and the folks at 'Garden Advice' seemed very enthusiastic. I will certainly be on the lookout for it!
