Happy April, It may not feel like planting weather, but there are those little windows of nice weather and now is a great time to get cool season crops growing.
You get the sweetest spinach, mild arugula, crunchy miners lettuce and cilantro that doesn't bolt.
A seed doesn't germinate unless the temperature is just right. Nature's wisdom.
Great crops to plant now, spinach, peas, radishes, mustards, lettuces.
- we have seedlings available in 4 cell packs ( on the Market order form)

Sauerkraut is available on the order form. It's raw, fermented and red. Amazing how a few red cabbages colours all the cabbages, carrots and onions to this deep red. It also tastes a little different this year as the salt used is super high in many minerals, called Sacred Salts naturescargocanada.ca/product-category/sacred-salts
Greens are growing and in our near future. Hopefully next week Yum!
