Planting Guide – Starting Peppers from Seed

By Mavis Butterfield on March 8, 2017 · 6 Comments

Peppers are another one of those plants that can be a booger to start from seed.  Once you master it, though, it’s like the gardener’s version of creating fire {picture that scene when Tom Hanks finally gets a fire going on Castaway}.  The key, I think, is to make sure that they stay nice and Read More >>

Planting Guide – Starting Artichokes from Seed

By Mavis Butterfield on January 4, 2017 · 10 Comments

Believe it or not, if you plan to grow artichokes from seed this year, it’s time to get them started.  They are super slow growers, and need about a 12 week head start before they make their way outside.  I have always grown artichokes for the HH, because I am cool and accommodating like that, Read More >>
