One of the San Lorenzo Valley Treasures is Felton's Renee Shepherd of Renee's Garden. She is quoted extensively in an article appearing in today's (2/17/10) SF Chronicle and also featured in SFGate the online home of the paper.
The article by Sophia Markoulakis cites research showing that more than a third of households plan on expanding their food gardens this year and questions whether food trends follow seed trends or vice a versa.
Shepherd says she selects seeds based on "customer feedback, what I like to eat, and what's successful in the garden."
Among the "trendy" vegetable seeds cited were these from Renee's Garden : 'Spanish Padron' peppers
'Amsterdam' seasoning celery and
'Sweetie Baby' romaine container lettuce.
