 The Rare Pit & Plant Council

  Who are The Pits? What kind of Pits do you grow? Do you answer Pit Questions? What about membership? Who are The Pits? "The Pits" is the nickname for the Rare Pit & Plant Council--a group of nice but slightly eccentric people from New York City dedicated to growing seeds and tubers of edible plants found in local and ethnic markets. Our activities earned us a front page story in the Wall Street Journal, so be warned. We have newsletter subscribers in all 50 US states, in every Canadian province, and a few in Europe and Australia. We have officers in New York, Boston and Seattle. Growing orchids is grand opera--growing pits is a song we can all sing. We have a bimonthly newsletter ("The Pits," naturally) to hold our disparate group together. It is an off-the-wall mixture of serious informative articles, illustrations, tips on what's in the produce market and how to grow it, book reviews, recipes, puzzles and much more. What kind of Pits do you grow? Here are some (see our publications for more info, including pits to avoid).
Do you answer Pit Questions? Yes. Send questions to: The Rare Pit & Plant Council 17 Circuit Avenue Scituate, MA 02066
