Sow Fall Crops and be ready for the 2022 growing season! We’re bringing in fresh seeds, packed for 2022, from our local Botanical Interests Seed Company, and should have them on display sometime this Thursday. Most of these seeds are certified organic.
Now is a great time to plant seeds for fall crops such as spinach, lettuce, mesclun, kale, swiss chard, arugula, mustard greens, and watermelon radish. Sow seeds this fall for mache, which will provide tasty salad greens in late winter, before the more conventional spring greens are ready. Fall sowing is also ideal for hardy, drought-tolerant annual flowers like borage, California poppies, cornflower, larkspur, love-in-a-mist, breadseed poppies, and Shirley poppies.
In January and February, start onions and leeks. In late winter, you can do outdoor sowing of arugula, spinach, carrot, endive, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, mesclun, mustards, peas, sweet peas, parsley, parsnip, radish, California and other annual poppies, borage, and cilantro. Indoor sowing of Peppers and Tomatoes can begin in late February and early March, followed by tomatillo and eggplant.
