We’ve got a good selection of bulk corn, pea, and bean seed in. Seed potatoes are here, and we expect onions next week. If you need smaller quantities and/or more variety, choose from our racks of prepackaged seed. Generally seeds do better if soil temperatures are over 45 degrees F., so it may be a bit early for some varieties. Spring around here can be, as you know, somewhat variable. Radishes, peas, and some of the salad crops like cooler temperatures. We also carry lots of propagation and seed starting supplies to help you get your plants going. Come see us for your vegetable seeds and starts!

This seems like a really warm Spring. While we need to remember that it’s probably too early to put out most garden plants, there are a few cool weather crops that can get going now. Some plants you could put in are spinach, lettuces, and Swiss chard, all of which we have in 4-packs, ready to go. Rhubarb is ready in 1 gallon pots and looks good! It’s still a good idea to protect the young plants at night. Those of you with greenhouses or cold frames can probably get away with some early tomatoes, as well. Heather has her first crop of Beefsteak, Big Beef, Early Girl, 4th of July, Roma, Sweet 100, and Sungold on the benches at the Garden Center.

Mulch Madness begins, now thru March 31. It’s still too cold to plant, but you can do your soil a huge favor. Healthy soil means healthy plants, and the best way to build healthy soil is compost, compost, compost. We recommend Back To Earth Acidified Cotton Burr Compost. It’s a coarse compost that helps clay soils drain and increases water retention in sandy soils. It’s fortified with sulfur to help knock back our typically high pH. It comes in 2 cu ft bags, regularly $6.99, Mulch Madness price is just $4.99. Stock up on a great product at a great price!
