Garden Starts and Consulting Services

 

Veggie Seedling Sale

Friday and Saturday from 1 to 6pm
April 2 and 3

 

 

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. When we were just setting up to sell a couple times in Madrid, I’d wait till late April when everyone was ready for seedlings. But to all you seasoned gardeners, I got you. Come on out to Ampersand this Friday or Saturday and purchase my earliest available veggie starts. Bring cash or check! And a box for your new babies.


Mixed Salad Greens

Each 4″ pot has 5 or more seedlings, well spaced for easy transplanting.

These contain a variety of lettuces that did well in my hoop house last year that I collected the seeds from. Each pot has purple or green mizuna, and  possibly tatsoi and New Fire red lettuce.

Tended with love and rainwater!

$4 each

Carrots

10 to 20 seedlings in each! We have clusters of Black Nebula and Nantes Coreless. I’ve read that carrots don’t transplant well but they work for me!

$4 each

Beets

Ruby Queen and Golden Beets. 3.5  inch pots with 5 or more seedlings each.

$3 each

 

Cilantro

2 inch pots with 2 or 3 seedlings. Yes cilantro is frost tolerant! Now is the time!

$3 each

Mizuna

Mild (not spicy at all) mustard green, long lived and best fresh mixed in salads. 4 inch pots with 5 or more seedlings.

$3 each

We also have broccoli, cilantro, dandelion, parsley, tatsoi and other greens depending on how big you want them. Come on out and see!

Directions to our off-grid site in Cerrillos are HERE. We are a mile and a half down a bumpy dirt road. You don’t need 4wd when it’s dry and even a prius can make it but you may want to drive pretty slow if you have low clearance. We will have our gate open during sale time only! (1 to 6pm)

It usually takes 45 minutes to drive from Santa Fe, an hour from Albuquerque.

Thanks for making the trip! All our sales go to support our Sustainable Learning Center. Much appreciated!
