Don't fear the Reaper!



Now is the time to plant your cool season crops and reap the benefits of our wonderfully temperate climate. Cool weather crops include both greens and crucifers (think broccoli & cabbage).

For your greens, think about spinach, arugula, swiss chard and kale. Also, lettuce is a great one to plant now as it is a speedy crop and can be harvested within weeks. You can either plant seedlings or sow seeds directly in the ground. It's just that easy! Radishes are super fast too, maturing in just 25 days! Mmm...

And finally come the crucifers: broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and cauliflower. All autumn dinner table favourites that thrive in cooler temperatures.

So you see, summer may be over, but the harvest will continue for a long time yet. Whether you are planting fall seeds or seedlings, we have plants that will allow you to get our there and reap what ye have sown!
