Ashland Feed and Seed

Here's another peek at our new favorite store. They have so much in there that we always discover something new. The employees must think that I am a crazy person as I am always wandering down an aisle calling out "Well, look at that" to the kids. It doesn't help if you also take photos of buckets and shelves.

Here's the storefront:



I still haven't found out where you are "supposed" to park. It's a bit of a free-for-all by the side of the building and I've been known to circle the block a few times to get in, but get in we do.

Especially for sights like this:



That's not just a charming modern-county-gone-faux display - that's seed by the ounce. Really! Look closely:



Names, prices by the weight, and a helpful employee hovering somewhere to scoop and weigh. I picked up onion sets, blue seed potatoes (who says these guys are hip and with it?), and horseradish. I have little idea how to plant these, but isn't that the fun of gardening?

  1. Oh, OK, now I want to come and visit that shop! Seed by weight - what a fabulous idea. I have eaten blue potatoes, but I was mildly disappointed that they weren't blue all the way through. Mind you, not nearly as disappointing as the purple peppers that turned green on cooking!
