This year, more than ever, I believe we will see more people going back to or start to vegetable garden. A well planned out vegetable garden will yield good results, prove economical and will definitely deliver a sense of pride in your accomplishments!
We have our vegetable garden here at the nursery (since we’re here most of the time!). We worked the soil and added some of our soil mix and compost. As with any planting project – be it trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables, the soil is everything. Once that was done, we laid out a layer of ground cover landscape fabric, slit the rows in it and were ready to plant. This is such a time saver since the weeding is minimal – just around the plants themselves. No rows to weed. Another huge benefit – the vegetables stay much cleaner!
We have expanded our vegetable and fruit offerings this year. You can start your vegetable garden planning with the following:
- Red, White and Gold seed potatoes
- Red, White and Yellow onion sets
- Garlic bulbs
- Asparagus
- A wide variety of herbs
- Strawberry plants
- Many varieties of tomato plants
- Many varieties of pepper plants
You’ll be ahead of the game with our starter plants for many of the other vegetables – cucumbers, beans, squash, pumpkins, etc. These are available in little peat containers all ready to plant.
Watch for more ideas and thoughts on vegetable gardening coming this spring! If you have questions on getting a vegetable garden started or any other questions – please use the contact us link at the bottom of the page and we’ll get you the answer!

Do you sell asparagus crowns in the spring? Thanks.
We do sell asparagus crowns, as well as potato and onion sets, garlic, and all the starter plants for veggies and herbs. Let’s hope for an early spring.
