What do you want to grow this cool season?

In our agricultural zone, we're fortunate to be able to grow 12-months a year; however, it's important to chose the right varieties for the season. Otherwise you'll find yourself fighting pests to no end, watering plants that just won't perk back up in the heat or, on the other extreme, fighting desperately to keep frost-tender plants alive through the cold.

That's where we come in. We give you a list of options that we know to grow well each season for you to choose from. Once we receive your preferences back on this form, we'll use them to develop a personalized food garden planting map and/or use your list to source plants and seeds for your food garden. But before all that, I need to know...

What is your first and last name? *

So I can confirm submission of your seasonal crop preferences.

During the fall planting season...

We can plant these things. Which would you like to grow? (Based on availability)

A good rule of thumb: no more than 1 variety per 4 square feet of bed space. For example, a 4x8 (or 32sqft) raised bed could, at most, reasonably hold about 8 varieties.

arugula

beets

broccoli

bulbing onions (take 6-8 months to mature)

cabbage

carrots

cauliflower

chard

collards

green onions

kale

lettuce/salad mix

mustard/ mizuna greens

radishes

rutabagas

spinach

sugar snaps (require a trellis, which we can provide at an additional cost)

turnips

Other:

To add color and flavor, for the sake of both beauty and pest management, we can also grow a few flowers and herbs in your food garden beds.

Would you like to incorporate a few flowers or herbs that can handle the cool season? If so, which ones? (Based on availability)

Choose 0-3 unless you're really just focused on growing an herb garden; in which case, click away.
