These plants have been hardened off, meaning that, for the past few weeks, they have not been babied with twice daily watering and 75˚ temps. The plants needed that for their first 6 weeks or so, but before they go outside, they need to be prepared for the real world. They are exposed to cooler temperatures (hopefully no more freezes, moving them inside and back out) and more infrequent watering, preparing them to leave the ICU and get to work in the garden.
All plants are started from certified organic seed, when available, and raised in organic soils, fertilized by organic fertilizer. They are not certified organic because we are not certified by the USDA program. It is an expensive and invasive thing. No bee killing poisons have been used. No synthetic poisons of any kind have been used. There are occasions that repellents are necessary and there might be some dried hot pepper sitting on the soil. Consider it your friend.
Most of the seed was bought from Johnny’s Seeds if you wish to research the different types.
We will have these plants for sale at the Urban Harvest Farmers Market, 2752 Buffalo Speedway, Houston, Texas on Saturday mornings from 8:00 until noon.
All varieties are grown in limited quantities. For most varieties, when they are sold out we will not be planting more for sale.
We will also have some other herbs and fruit trees available.
