Help! I Grew This Stuff, Now What Do I Do With It?!

Announcing Harvest Cooking Classes

We're trying something new:  cooking classes, designed to teach YOU how to cook with the season's bounty.  We're going to learn how to make pesto, tomatillo sauce, wine, jalapeno jelly and salsa.  And we're going to discover great recipes for eggplant, parsnips and some of the other grown-less-often veggies.  It should be great fun, and it's FREE!  Cooking classes start Saturday, Sept. 11 and will always be held in the afternoon.  Find out more in "News and Announcements" on this page.  Then sign up for all the workshops by visiting the Greenhouse or calling 672-8340.
What's New, What's HOT!
SOLAR LANTERNS

Just in are more of these gorgeous stakes (that also happen to be solar-powered lights).  The stained glass globes look stunning by day, and the soft glow of the lantern adds something special to summer nights.   We'll have more of the solar-powered fountains, too.      
 
MORE STATUARY

Thanks to your great response to our first shipment of concrete garden statuary, we've brought in a second truck load.  Lizards and cacti and boots, oh my . . . plus all kinds of whimsical and wonderful creations that will make your garden pop without costing you an arm and a leg.
 
 
 

VEGETABLES

No complaining about the same old veggies on your table; we grow over 75 different varieties! For a complete vegetable list, click here.

ARTICHOKE

Yes, Artichoke grows here! In fact, if the location is sheltered enough, it may come back year after year. Harvesting the first artichoke will cause the plant to branch out and produce on side shoots. Since it takes awhile for the fruit to mature, use a wall-o-water and start your artichokes early.

CAULIFLOWER

We’ve been growing Cheddar Cauliflower for a couple of years now. That orange color is a sign that it is loaded with beta-carotene, and that’s a sign that it’s good for you!  New in 2010 is Graffitti, a purple cauliflower.  Now who says veggies are boring?!

YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY . . .

Summer is Tomato Time, and we’re growing a tomato for every place and every taste!
 
BEEFSTEAK For you beefsteak lovers, back by popular request is Better Boy, and we’ll also have Big Beef.  And don't overlook Brandywine--they are tasty and huge! 
 
HEIRLOOM Want an heirloom? Try Brandywine Pink; Valencia, a tasty orange number; or be surprised by Heirloom Rainbow Blend, a mix of 8 popular heirloom varieties!
 
CONTAINER Got a small space? Grow Husky Red, which thrives in a container, or Celebrity, one of our all-time favorites.  Wondering what other varieties grow in a container?  Look for "determinate" on the tag and it should work.  "Indeterminate" types will need to be planted in the ground. 
 
NOT RED! Want something besides red? Lemon Boy and Yellow Pear are astoundingly delicious yellows; Valencia is a sweet and juicy orange; Black Krim is deep purple and flavorful, and Tomatillo is the original little green tomato and as saucy as it’s name!
 
AND MORE We’ll have grape tomatoes (Juliet and Yellow Pear), Roma tomatoes (Roma Paste), Cherry Tomatoes (Sweet 100 and Black Cherry), cluster Tomatoes (Goliath Hybrid) and all of your favorites.
