Dear Gardening Friends,   How wonderful to finally have Fall weather!  We're sure you are enjoying it, too! Our Fall garden is thriving, even though it had to endure what seemed like endless heat waves.  Here’s one of our 42 EarthBoxes planted with beautiful Swiss Chard enjoying the sun. We've also got several varieties of Peas, Broccoli, Kale, Cauliflower, Spinach, Lettuce and many others going full steam.  Don’t delay any longer if you’ve been procrastinating…the longer, cooler nights and shorter days are just what the Fall /Winter veggies LOVE!     You're All Invited!!   Please join us for our   Annual "Green Friday" Sale!!

The Fall Potatoes Have Arrived!!   This year's varieties are tried and true:   -Burbank Russet -Colorado Rose -Purple Majesty -Russian Banana Fingerling -Yukon Gold     CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR POTATO SELECTION            A Quick Update:  We've already Sold Out of Onion & Leek Seedlings for the Season, but we do still have Garlic and Shallots!   Check out our "Helpful Guides" for simple growing tips!   For GARLIC For SHALLOTS   In our garden, I typically grow them in Smart Pots. Last year, I experimented with growing some of our garlic in EarthBoxes but found they didn't do well with that much moisture; and in fact, some of them rotted at the soil line, so we're back to growing them in all Smart Pots again!     Well, that’s it for the moment, Friends, except to say that we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope to see you here the day after for our Green Friday Sale!   We’re truly Thankful for all of you!   ~Jo Anne, Alex, Jake, Lalo and Charlie P.S.
