Strong plants start with strong roots

GroZome Root Activator is designed to encourage healthy root development, helping plants establish more quickly and access water and nutrients more efficiently. Whether you're planting fruit trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetables, or native plants, investing in root health pays off all season long.

We especially love using root support products when transplanting. Better establishment, reduced transplant stress, and stronger growth all begin below the soil surface.

If you're planting this season and want to give your trees, shrubs, and garden plants the best possible start, GroZome Root Activator is available now at The Farm Connection.

Because the strongest plants are built from the roots up.

Passionflower is back in stock!

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a fast growing native vine produces some of the most striking blooms you'll find in a Southern garden, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout the summer. It's also the host plant for Gulf Fritillary butterflies, helping support the next generation of pollinators.

As the season progresses, Passionflower produces sweet edible fruits known as maypops. The leaves, flowers, and fruit also have a long history of traditional herbal use, making this a favorite for pollinator gardens, food forests, medicinal plantings, and homestead landscapes.

Whether you're looking to cover a trellis, support wildlife, grow edible fruit, or simply enjoy one of our most unique native flowers, Passionflower earns its place in the garden.

Now available in store and online.

Think it's too late for tomatoes?

Think again!

Tomatoes will keep producing until frost, making now a great time to succession plant and extend your harvest well into fall. We still have plenty of healthy tomato starts available for just $1 each.

Got a leggy tomato? That's actually a bonus. Remove the lower leaves and plant it deep. Tomatoes will form roots along the buried stem, creating a stronger root system and a more vigorous plant.

Fresh slicers, sauce tomatoes,cherry tomatoes, and fried green tomatoes are still on the menu.

Shop in store now and keep the harvest going all season long.

At The Farm Connection, we love plants that do more than just look good. The best plants feed pollinators, build soil, support wildlife, cycle nutrients, provide food or medicine, and help create resilient landscapes all at the same time.

In this week’s blog, we highlight some of our favorite multi-purpose plants, including comfrey, tulsi, mountain mints, elderberry, yarrow, clovers, native grasses, skullcap, boneset, and more. These are the plants that work hard, feeding soil, supporting beneficial insects, improving habitat, and helping gardens thrive.

Whether you're building a homestead, planting a food forest, supporting pollinators, or creating a healthier backyard ecosystem, planting with purpose can make all the difference.

Read the full blog and discover some of the hardest working plants in the landscape.

Violette de Bordeaux is one of our favorite figs for good reason

This compact, productive fig produces small to medium fruits with deep purple skin and rich, berry-like flavor. Many fig enthusiasts consider it one of the best tasting varieties available, with sweet, complex flesh that is perfect for fresh eating, drying, preserves, and desserts.

Its naturally smaller growth habit makes it a great choice for backyard orchards, edible landscapes, containers, and smaller spaces where a full-sized fig might be too large.

Beyond the harvest, figs bring beauty and abundance to the landscape with their distinctive foliage, architectural form, and delicious fruit year after year.

If you've been thinking about adding a fig to your homestead, food forest, or garden, Violette de Bordeaux is a fantastic place to start.

Hen and Chicks are one of the easiest and most rewarding plants you can grow

These hardy succulents form beautiful rosettes that slowly spread by producing "chicks" around the mother plant, creating a living carpet of color and texture over time. They thrive in containers, rock gardens, raised beds, and sunny landscape spaces with excellent drainage.

While they are most often grown outdoors, Hen and Chicks can also make great houseplants when given plenty of bright light and well drained soil.

Drought tolerant, low maintenance, and endlessly charming, they're a favorite for gardeners of all experience levels.
