It's Planting Time!
We're cheering because it is just about planting time here in the Sonoran desert and the 2009 seeds from Botanical Interests have arrived.
There are lots of new varieties and whenever possible we have ordered the Certified Organic variety. It all looks good but the Snap and Sugar Peas, Swiss Chard, Lettuces, Beets, Broccoli, Radishes and Bunching Onions are just begging to be planted. This is our long growing season so you'll will want to get started. For a full list of what to plant now, click here.
You'll also be happy to find you can now get Sweet Peas in a super-size package, so you can plant more. Wedding Blush is the variety - it is beautiful.
On the fertilizer front, we are bringing in the organic Fox Farm products. The Peace of Mind fertilizers are ph-balanced with premium ingredients such as feather meal, fish meal, bat guano and humic acid, which helps with seed germination.
Best of all, Fox Farm adds 20 species of beneficial microbes to help convert fertilizers into food that fights of plant diseases. The Tomato & Vegetable formula is easy to use, and provides gentle, slow-release feedings all season long. There's also a Marine Cuisine blend with good fine ocean-based ingredients like crab meal, shrimp meal, seabird guani and kelp. Try it on your most demanding houseplants, trees and shrubs. It's like a power bar for your plants.
