August 24, 2017   Dear Gardening Friends, Fall is a really short season...  and we're not kidding. We've got barely 5 months to get 2 rounds of the cool-weather treasures planted and grown... And we also must plan for Leeks (due 9/2), Garlic & Shallots (due 9/30), Onions (10/10), Potatoes (10/15), and then Asparagus & Rhubarb (December)...and don't forget all the Holidays that vie for our time!   There is so much opportunity in a such a brief period, but we're here to help!   We all know soil prep is the most important part of any successful season, so please join us and take advantage of Sale prices on all our Certified Organic Soil, Composts, Fertilizers and Amendments!   September Open House SOIL & AMENDMENTS SALE!! It's time to prep your beds, Smart Pots & EarthBoxes  for Fall planting!!   Saturday, September 2nd 10am - 4pm at the Two Dog Home Nursery 914 S.

New Fall Varieties! The fully-revised Fall/Winter Veggies page is now LIVE on our website!!   We have 13 exciting NEW items to try!            We can't wait to grow these!!     "Flowering Brussels" is the first NEW Vegetable created since Broccolini!!  This is a non-GMO hybrid cross of Brussels Sprouts and Kale, so rather than producing tight, round sprouts, these ruffle out like lovely flowers. These seeds are a "mix", so color variations are to be expected.  All our Seedlings are Certified Organic and Non-GMO, of course! ~~~ PLEASE NOTE:  While the Fall/Winter page is now fully updated, many of these items will NOT be available until closer to the end of September.  Our Fall Kick-Off Sale will be held Saturday, Sept. 30 & Sunday, Oct. 1...save the dates!!     Green Shiso   Indigo Radicchio German Butterball Potato California Rainbow Poppy Mix   Berries, Vines & Fruit Trees!   Now’s the perfect time to get these planted!  We have lots of beautiful varieties in stock, and more coming in all the time.   Currently, we have beautiful Figs, Passionfruit Vines, Citrus  (Meyer Lemon, Kaffir Lime, Cara Cara & Blood Oranges, Kumquat and more!), Guavas, Persimmons, Pomegranate, and Olives.   Plus, our famous Blueberries!

We hope to see you here for our Open House next Saturday (Sept. 2nd)!!  Many thanks, and as always,  Happy Harvests! Jo Anne, Alex, Jake, Lalo & Charlie
