STEP 2: Pick up your seedlings at the farm in May

• Pick-up Details: Seedling pick-up will take place at our Saturday farmstand on the date you selected. Please park in our parking lot and walk across the driveway towards our tent. We will have a display of seedlings (in case you forgot something!), spring veggies and flowers, and other local products available for purchase. Please look for the sign that says “pre-order pick-up” and one of our staff will take your name and grab your order!

• Disclaimer: We have done our best to stock our online store with accurate inventories of each seedling variety. In the unlikely event that an item you have ordered is unavailable on your pick-up date, we will replace your item with a similar variety. If a similar variety is unavailable, we will issue a “one free plant coupon” for you to select another plant.

STEP 3: Get your garden started!

• According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the last frost date in our zip code is May 2. This may be different for you depending on where you live, and of course anything could happen with the weather! Some years we have unexpected frosts as late as early June. Many of the plants we have available are cold hardy and can be planted as soon as you pick-up, but some are less tolerant to cold, wet conditions. The following is a list of plants that we recommend waiting to plant until nighttime temperatures are 50* or higher:

  • Vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, all squash varieties (summer & winter), melons

  • Herbs: All basils and lemon verbena

  • Flowers: Cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, nasturtium, marigold, and most important - dahlia tubers!

• Some of our fast-growing summer crops will come in “peat pots” which can be planted directly into the ground. We have used these for plants that don’t do well with root disturbance - these pots will decompose, adding organic matter to the soil.

• Included with your order at pick-up will be our “Growing Guide” with tips and best practices for planting and caring for your seedlings.
