Now is the perfect time to start growing many of your edible crops! We have an amazing seed selection including organic and heirloom like Territorial, Botanical Interest, Nichols and much more (check locations for availability). Also pick up all you need to get your seeds off to a good start such as seed starting mix, trays and heat mats. There is a bounty you can start from seed both indoors like basil and cucumbers, and directly outside like beets and peas. Please consult our Veggie Planting Calendar for more details. Along with seeds, we have a huge selection of fruits and vegetable starts. You can start your summer sweetness now by planting strawberries, boysenberries, kiwi and other small fruits. This is also prime time for planting your fruit trees: apples, cherries and figs along with nuts and other fruit trees. You'll find all the information you need on planting and maintaining small fruits and fruit trees on our Fruits Page. Start filling your vegetable beds with our spring vegetable starts! We have a huge selection of organic and conventional starts. Crops such as broccoli and pac choi, onions and spinach are just a few of the groups we have in now. Please visit our new vegetable care sheets for detailed planting instructions. Finally our herb selection is also overflowing with cilantro, mint, thyme and many others. We have larger sizes such as #1 and #2 rosemary and lavenders as well.
It must be April because the first batch of tomatoes have arrived! We have 50 different varieties including classic and heirloom varieties. Our selection will expand to over to 260 varieties by the beginning of May! Right now tomatoes need protection because their growth can be stunted by extended periods of temperatures below 55ºF. Strategies such as keeping your tomatoes indoors (in full light), pre-warming your soil, and using tunnel row covers can help you get a jump start on your tomato crop. The best time to plant your tomatoes directly in ground is the beginning of May when the soil temperatures have warmed up. However, we offer a variety of products to help you get an early start.
