Veggie Seedling Sale
Friday and Saturday, April 2 & 3
1-6pm
Those of us who have been gardening in the high desert for years know that early spring is the time to get the most out of your garden. Now is the time that, with some protection, you can get a lot of greens growing really well, with big salads soon to come. So I don’t understand why so many gardeners want to wait till later.
