More seedlings are out and about! Some took off like crazy, others are still getting their groove on but many are ready. You should be getting ready at this point to get these babies in your windows, coldframes, greenhouses and gardens (I’m running out of room – ha!). Contact us directly: rockbottommaine@gmail.com to be added to the order form to get your seedlings and plants.
All of our seeds are responsibly sourced, many organic or in the 1-2 Fedco range (never more than 3), and grown with Coast of Maine organic potting or seedling soil. All of our seedlings have moved on to their ‘true leaves’ and are partially hardened. I try to give you the correct names of the particular seed so you can look it up further if you like, but please don’t hesitate to ask questions about plant care, vegetable size or taste, companion planting, etc, either in the comments below or use the email above.
