| | | | | | | Rain or snow? We've got you covered... literally!
Greetings! What strange and unusual weather for March! We can't remember the last time we had lightning this early in the season. Don't be concerned, as we've just finished covering the rest of the outdoor retail space. Now you can browse without the worry of rain, hail, or whatever else Mother Nature is bringing us. |

Plants for the Early Cool Days
Don't worry about the snow and frost, the cool crop plantings of Pansies, Primulas, Ranunculus, English Daisies (Bellis), Forget Me Nots (Myosotis), and Wallflowers can all withstand temperatures to -5 or so.
So too can the potted bulbs--Daffodils and incredibly fragrant Hyacinth! Many perennials are showing good new growth and could be planted any time. As well, there are tables and tables full of Spring colour in selling section 'C' and 'D'.

 | | Assorted Cole Crops and Lettuce |
You can also start planting your early vegetable crops (known as "cole crops") in your garden, after the plants have been properly hardened off. Our hardy vegetable section is set up, with a good selection of different varieties of Onions, Lettuce, Cabbage, Broccoli, Kale, Swiss Chard and Peas.
Don't forget we have Kelsae and Walla Walla Onion sets and a full selection of Pacific Northwest seeds!
Also don't miss out on a one time only, limited selection of over 50 different types of Lettuce, Cabbage, Kale, Broccoli, and Mesclun mix in 2.5" pots--all individually numbered and hardened off, ready to be planted out into the garden. This is a once a year planting for our own garden trials, and these seedlings are all the extra ones, now for sale on table D17.
