Hello gardening friends,
You all know flowers are my passion and my main focus for my business; However, I do some plant starts a couple times a year. With that said, I am excited to let you know that whether you’re a late starter, wanting to add to your current garden or like me, replanting after all these storms, I have been diligently sowing a large variety of plant starts to help us all in our gardening endeavors. I have a long list of seeds already in soil, including vegetables, gourds, squash, herbs, peppers, etc. I won’t guess at when everything will be available, but I will put a list out as they are ready for sale. I will have some ready this week and I will be at the Abilene Farmers Market 6/24/2023, so come out and look at the available selection of plant starts that I will have ready for purchase at that time. Of course I will be bring all the flowers I can 😍
About my plant starts:
All my plant starts have been started using the soil blocking method with quality potting soil. Plant starts from soil blocking produces a healthier plant with a stronger root system. The seeds I used for these starts have been sourced from Baker Creek Rare Seed, Johnny’s Selected Seeds, and or Botanical Interest. My starts are sown by me locally here in Abilene, TX. Finally, although not certified, I do my best to use organic products and follow good organic practices, including avoiding the use of pesticides.

There is still time to get our gardens started, add to our exciting gardens, or like me, replant and still still have a good harvest this year.
This list is just the plant starts that have been sown (not a ready list),
God willing they will finish growing and we can look forward to the whole list in the near future.
Please remember not all gardens or planting zones have the same soil, climate or frost dates; Do your own research for your area and garden. Happy Gardening
