Some seeds need to be subjected to cold treatment in the refrigerator at roughly 40°F to promote germination, called vernalization. In colder areas, this step is not necessary.

Seeds like Columbine germinate fairly quickly and can be sown outdoors midwinter or early spring after a cold spell in the refrigerator.

Sow seeds on top of a light soil mix and lightly press into the mix. Leave the pots to then sit in a pan full of water, so the mix absorbs the water from the bottom, an hour or so.

 

From this point, be careful the seeds never dry out as they will be forced into an ever deeper dormancy. Columbines like dappled shade or full sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    
We offer four varieties of grass seed,  Shade Blend, no Mow (for a  natural meadow look requiring low water), Bolero Plus, and 90-10. We recommend using Bolero fertilizer which is formulated by the the  sod company for our part of the country using special micro nutrients  to ensure a healthy lawn.

 

Gardening is fun; to be able to grow your own flowers and vegetables, to have the peace of mind that your vegetables are pesticide-free and of the highest quality; to have flowers grown for your planting zone, to delight in their blooms; and to be able to choose from a wide variety of fruit tree selections.  Garden with your kids!

It is our pleasure to provide quality seeds for your garden; we carry Ferry~Morse seeds & Renee's Garden seeds. Stop in now for good seed pack selections in time for fall planting. You will love gazing out over the sea of lovely colors right in your own yard this spring and summer. Get those vegetable seeds now and be ready next year to start those seedlings early, and be off to a good start for a great vegetable harvest.
