We will be at the Keller Farmers Market Saturday (2/15) from 10 am - 2 pm. Looks like it will be in the 60’s, so get outside Saturday!
In bloom
The warm weather has confused a few of the early spring crops. This week we’ve had a few ranunculi start opening, and the peonies have sprouted with some small buds already showing. Everything was covered up late Wednesday for last night’s freeze, so hoping for the best! Will be harvesting the last of the fall ornamental kale for this weekend’s market.
Available Starters / Seeds
Seeds: Sunflowers, zinnias, bachelor’s button, love-in-a-mist (nigella), forget-me-nots, cosmos, dara (colored queen Anne’s lace), Mexican sunflowers, gomphrena, bee balm, celosia, cock’s comb, lime basil, blue spice basil, Persian basil, Thai basil, purple hyacinth bean, hardy hibiscus, bupleurum, tassel flower, and marigold.

However, the tomato (Sweet 100, Better Boy, and Bush), broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers seedlings have sprouted along with the rosemary, oregano, tarragon, marjoram, curly parsley, lavender, and orange thyme.

Covering all the crops for the latest freeze.
Perennial divisions of potted herbs and flowers.
