Summer is finally here, and the seeds are up! June 21st is the longest day of the year and the first day of summer. Some people dread the idea that days are only going to get shorter, but we feel it's best to delight in the long, warm days of summer. Now is the time to baby your plants along and look forward to healthy and delicious meals from your own back yard or balcony. It's also time to think about planting seeds for fall and winter harvests. With just a little bit of protection, many of the vegetable varieties we offer can be harvested right through to spring from summer plantings.
