Discontinued Plants

Ideally we would have everything we have ever grown available all the time. Of course, that's impossible since sometimes things sell out, grow too large, or (dare we admit?) die for various reasons. Almost everything we have grown in the past, we still think is cool, and we hope to grow again someday. I have started this section to track our progress toward that goal.
