No Space for Growing Vegetables? No Problem…we have options for you!
Ever wish you had a lot of space to grow fresh vegetables? If you only had a sunny window, especially a southern exposure. Well, Micro Tom tomato would work for you. At less than 12″ tall, it is one of the smallest tomato varieties, ready to harvest in 45-65 days, producing clusters of 3/4″ cherry tomatoes.
For those of you with a little more space, perhaps a balcony or patio that gets a lot of sun, we have many types of space-saving vegetables that can be grown in containers. In addition to our cherry tomatoes, there will be cucumbers (Patio Snacker), eggplant (Fairy Tale), peppers- both hot (Fatalli) and sweet (Sweet Lunch Box Mix), slicing size tomatoes (Bush All Star and Bush Early Girl), a cherry tomato for hanging baskets (Tumbling Tom) and even a zucchini (Caserta). Who said you need a big garden for fresh produce?
And of course, the Plant Sale will have plenty of full-size vegetables for your garden plot or raised bed. Over 4500 vegetables to choose from, with Master Gardeners on hand to help you with your selection!
