CSA Vegetable/Herb/Flower Starts

I will be selling some of the leftover starts at the first farmers' market this Sunday. We have Bloomsdale spinach, lettuce (speckled trout back, black-seeded simpson, and a lettuce mix), bachelor buttons, ruby red chard and Santoh mustard. Current members, come on over and say howdy, I'd love to hear how your garden is doing!

Cheers,

Regan
