CURRENT NEWS

We are NOT going to be at the Garden Expo this year. Just thought I’d let everyone know. Honestly, I am getting too old to ferry 4000 plants and all the infrastructure over there. (I can’t believe I am admitting that.) We sell from the house and are doing very well. You can avoid the crowds and lines by coming to our home and buying them there. We also have Mother’s Day baskets, flowers and veggies are coming.

This year I am holding some mini-workshops, 5 of them. Here is the flyer. Did I mention it is free. ⇒

These are some of the tomatoes we have offered in the past. I like to try different colors and shapes that you can only grow if you sow them yourselves. This year we have over 365 varieties on offer. It feels really good to know where our veggies come from and what they have been treated with. We can be self-sufficient if we need to be.

2024 Tomato Varieties
2024 Pepper Varieties

 

Hooray! We are finally open. We have been working like dogs to get everything ready. Daisy agrees with us. I can’t wait to see all of you in the upcoming weeks. Just remember that we can’t save your plants, no extra space, and some varieties are very limited. It’s going to be a fabulous year!

queen of the night tomato
As you probably know I tend to be drawn to tomatoes that are different. Spots, stripes, odd colors and shapes, you name it. This is a new one for us, it is called "Queen of the Night." Isn't it amazing? Just think how much it will liven up your salad bowl!

Cougar Red
Cougar Red This is a new red tomato that has been grown and tested for cool summer temps with a short growing season. This meaty, medium sized fruit is good for home processing. The flavor is a good mixture of sugar and low acid. Determinate

We try to garden
as organically as possible

Our plants are fertilized with steamed bone meal, worm castings, epsom salts, mycorrihzae, seaweed extract, fish fertilizer, kelp and alfalfa meal. We DO NOT use pesticides or herbicides. I don’t want for myself or my family to eat that stuff and I am sure you don’t either.

We have a standing invitation to each and every one of you to visit my garden. You will be amazed how I transformed one of our greenhouses into a sunny entertaining spot. Just call first. I kid my customers that they only visit when they want something! I’d love to share my garden with you.

We accept checks, cash and credit cards
(minimum $30 sale for credit cards please)

These are tomato cages we made for our tomatoes. As you can see, they really fill them out. When we used round metal cages, they’d outgrow them and topple over so we built our own. Due to customer request we sell them now.
