What is hardening off, and how do I do that? Watch to find out more! We grow all of our pepper starts in a controlled environment with grow lights, heat mats & a fan to strengthen stems. This early in the year, pepper starts have not been exposed to the elements outside yet. It is super important to harden off pepper starts before planting outside!

It’s been quiet on here, but behind the scenes the boys have been busy! They have peppers galore! From insanely hot Carolina Reapers and Ghost 👻 peppers to mild and sweet bell peppers. Many varieties cannot be found locally. Most varieties are heirloom, and all are grown in organic soil. Prices range from $3-$6 depending on variety and size. Very limited quantities of each, so contact us soon if you are interested!

What a long, strange trip this year’s been!

Tomatoes were late to ripen, but we are finally enjoying the fruit. Riley harvested this funky one! 🍅

Our original zucchini plants were eaten, so we had to purchase starts from a store. We’ve gotten two zucchinis this year - one tiny and one huge! 😂 We usually have an abundance of zucchini.

And Riley has been hard at work growing and harvesting onions. Once these cure, he will have some for sale! 🧅

We’ve been busy tending the gardens and harvesting early crops like peas, strawberries and now cherries! The pollinator plot is coming up nicely as well. We’ve even had some visitors! 🐝 🦋
