GINGER GOLD APPLES HERE!!
Pre-Apple Tasting special!!
ONLY AT 5050 SE STARK
Gravenstein apples are already done for the year, but right on their heels is another delicious early apple: Ginger Gold.
Ginger Gold is a chance seedling from Virginia, with green skin and crisp, creamy yellow flesh that is a great fresh-eating, sweet-flavored apple. It keeps longer than the Gravenstein (it will still be available by the time Apple Tasting comes around), but we were able to get some of the first harvest and have it available at our Stark Street location – still at the fabulous Apple Tasting price of only $ .89/pound!
While they last….call first to confirm availability.
COMPANION PLANTING
New brochure: An Introduction and Guide to Healthy Plant Relationships
Companion planting is a technique based on a long history of observations of the interaction between plants in the garden. Certain combinations of plants can add to, or detract, from the abundance and health of edibles in your garden by altering the soil, attracting or repelling insects or creating a helpful microclimate.

CROP ROTATION
New brochure: Crop Rotation is utilized to increase yields and diminish pest and disease problems.
Crop rotation is the practice of alternating crops of specific vegetable families to different areas of the garden from year to year. This gives the soil a rest from each vegetable family before that family appears in the same garden space again.

NEW FAQS
“I have a lot of clover I want to get rid of. What can I do?” July 2010
To tackle that question, I need a little bit more information. Is the clover in a space by itself? Is it amongst the lawn? Amongst other plants, such as your perennial beds? Under shrubbery?
If the clover is mixed into your lawn there are products that can kill the clover without hurting the lawn. These are called selective herbicides. Read more..
