Thanks to you, our 2023 Annual Plant Sale was a huge success. We will be back in late April 2024 to bring you quality tomatoes, peppers, herbs and vegetable starts nurtured by Master Gardener volunteers as well as premium quality perennials for your gardens. View the varieties offered in 2023 and look here for updated lists in early 2024.
Everybody loves peppers and we have three types to choose from
- Sweet – Escamillo, Big Bertha, California Wonder, King Arthur Hybrid and Wonder Bell
- Medium – Alma Paprika & Cubanelle
- Hot – Aleppo, Poblano, Padrón and Early Jalapeño
It is difficult to get consistency in the heat ratings and peoples palates vary. Over the years pepper breeding has changed things too. You can actually buy seeds for a jalapeño variety that claim to have no heat. Please consider these categories to be guidelines, not guarantees.
Mother was right, vegetables are good for you and herbs provide a bit of soul. Our selection should make her happy and will hopefully include some of your favorites.
- four types of basil
- three cucumber varieties
- three egg plant
- broccoli, kale, swiss chard, tomatillo, parsley, rosemary, thyme, tarragon
Master Gardener Volunteers work to bring some of their favorite perennials to the public at our plant sale. The selection is always subject to change as quality and availability are weather dependent.
Special Note: Be sure to visit our Extension Master Gardener website for important information regarding the care of your newly purchased plants. Specifically, see the section “Before you Plant – Hardening Off Plants”.
