This Saturday, May 25 is our 3rd and last big Spring weekend veggie plant sale for the 2024 spring season at BLG! (The next event will be a July 20 Fall/Winter Vegetable Extravaganza!) Come buy our gorgeous transplants and get great growing advice!
After Tuesdays rain the ground will be nice and hydrated for you to plant your transplants into! Now is a great time to be picking up summer vegetables like Tomatoes, Squash, Cucumbers, Melons and Eggplant.
We have a gorgeous Oaxaca Red Epazote for your Latin American bean recipes. And two varieties of Shiso/Perilla. One a non frilly red/purple Japanese variety, and a second new to us green Korean variety sourced from one of our volunteers. The Korean Kkaennip variety looks like the underside of the leaves will be pink/purple-ish. These are found pickled in some Korean (kimchi) recipes. https://mykoreankitchen.com/korean-pickled-perilla-leaves-kkaennip-jangajji/
If you’ve been following perennial plant popularity – we’ve a small number of hablitzia tammoides and Skirret starts.
And we’ve a lot more to check out! While you’re on site check out our gorgeous and super productive early greens beds. Most planted up just after Seedy Sunday! Some have already been transitioned to a second crop.
