OUR TOP 4 TRANSPLANTS THIS YEAR
02/21/20 — Ada Broussard
Our annual transplant sale is happening now. You can order transplants online for pickup at a farmers market, or you can make a trip out to Garfield and visit our Greenhouses which, for the next few weeks, have transformed into a public-facing nursery. This year, we are opening up the greenhouse for more dates than ever: Saturday Feb. 29, Sat. March 7, Sunday March 8, Sat. March 14, Saturday March 21, and Saturday March 28th. On these dates, the doors will be wheeled open (they’re on rollers) beginning at 9am and wheeled closed at 1pm. In addition to our transplants, we’ll also have a selection of farm-grade tomato cages and stakes, compost, and fertilizer. In other words, we’re prepared to be your one-stop shop for an amazing spring garden. Last but not least, on Sunday, March 8th, we’re hosting our annual Spring Gardening Workshop, taught by Farmer Becky and Ada of Club Home Made. Tickets and details here.
This year, our sale features so many varieties of vegetables. Like an old collector purging their coins, we started this year off by cleaning out our seed cooler. We found so many special seeds that have been hiding back there, waiting to get their moment in the sun. These seeds are some of our favorite varieties, but for some reason or another, they’re not a good fit for our production or farm model. Instead, they prefer the intimate confines of a home garden, room to flourish and an opportunity to be appreciated for their uniqueness. Classic spring and summer plants adorn the selection, too, including classics like Genovese Basil (endless fresh pesto, anyone?) and heirloom tomatoes.
We’re not here to tell you want to plant, because really, there are so many exciting varieties. But! If you do need some suggestions, here are our top 4 picks this season:
