Opening Date Information - Saturday, May 24th, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Historically, May 17th/18th have not been safe dates, temperature-wise, to plant warm-weather crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. In fact, on Sunday, May 18th our low is to be just 3 degrees! And on Monday, May 19th, the low is to be 4 degrees.
The up and down temperatures have prevented us from properly hardening off our seedlings, grown organically right here in Dunrobin. As a result, our first day open this year will be Saturday, May 24th. It is important to us to sell only hardy, healthy plants.
Please note: cucumber, zucchini, squash and pepper plants, if under 10 degrees for a couple of days, can suffer damage. Tomato plants, if flowering and under 10 degrees for a couple of days can produce cat-faced fruit months later.
