We’re happy to say that we’ll be able to offer more certified organic vegetables this year. Up until now, we’ve had a number of tomato varieties and a few other odds and ends from one organic grower, but now Glacial Ridge, our largest provider of vegetables, is going to offer certified organic plants for some of its varieties that come in 3.5″ pots. Here’s a list of what we’ll have:
- Broccoli
- Cabbage — green and red
- Cauliflower
- Cucumbers (slicing)
- Hot Peppers –Jalapeno and Sweet Banana
- Muskmelon
- Squash — buttercup, delicata, and acorn
- Tomatoes — Sweet 100, Moskvich, and Valencia
- Watermelon
- Zucchini and yellow summer squash
Plus sweet basil in the herb department.
Organic 3.5″ pots will be priced at $2.00 each.
Remember — all the rest of the vegetables we sell, even though they are not certified organic, come from growers who refuse to use toxic pesticides or fungicides. They use cats and ladybugs for pest control and optimized airflow to prevent fungus growth.
Even the beginner can make herb gardening look like an art. Then you just wait and with some basic care needs nature will do the rest. Once you have grown herbs you can simple use what you need. Fresh herbs are now at your fingertips, learn what works best for you and enjoy. Now although fresh herbs are great gardening herbs can be done year round and when you can’t grow them you can dry and store them for later use. Cut them by the stems rinse them with cold water and hang in leaves to dry, bunch them by type and put inside a paper bag leafs down and store in a dry place.
