New for 2012:
With the ever growing popularity of growing your own fruits and vegetables, we have once again expanded our offerings of these plants.
In the early spring we are offering several plants ‘bare-root’ (meaning soilless and pot-less) Strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb and asparagus to name a few. This is a great cost effective way to garden! We have also expanded our line of potted small fruits and vegetables. Expect to see more 1 gal. tomatoes, green peppers, eggplants, raspberries, grapes and more.
We have also added pick-your-own peas and green beans. These should be ready for you to harvest around strawberry picking time. Our Farm & Garden Market will have an expanded selection of canning, pickling, and freezing supplies so you can enjoy these great vegetables throughout the year!
