Grow Your Own Greens!
Fresh, homegrown greens bring vibrant flavor and nutrition to your table. Cool weather veggies like lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, endive and broccoli thrive in early spring, making them perfect for an early start to your garden. Onions thrive in northern climates, and timing is key for a flavorful harvest. Whether you’re growing bunching onions, leeks, or classic yellow and red varieties, planting them early gives them a strong start before summer’s heat. These cool-season crops develop robust roots when started early, ensuring a crisp, homegrown bounty for your kitchen. Don’t wait—get these cool weather veggies and greens in the ground and watch them flourish!
First plant a round of our early seeded six packs of greens, then direct sow a second batch in mid April for a continuous harvest!.
Start Indoors First: Other herbs and cool-weather vegetables benefit from an early start indoors before transplanting as seedlings.
Direct Seed in Mid-April: Lettuces and cilantro can be sown directly into the garden once the soil is workable.
