Seed Starting Garden Kits
What a better way to anticipate spring than by starting seeds? If you've never done it before or don't like making choices we have a great kit that is ready to go with a selection of Brenda's heirloom and organic favourites! You can see the full details at http://baileyslocalfoods.blogspot.ca/2014/03/garden-kits-by-brenda-knechtel.html and you will find it in the 'plants' section under 'other'  on our order form but here is a sneak peek:
The Seed Starting Garden Kit will contain:
  • 1 non-perforated tray and greenhouse dome
  • 22 -3" round peat pots
  • organic potting soil
  • planting instructions

Our longest ordering period of the year is about to end (you have a couple days yet) but if your fridge is looking as bare as mine and you are emptying the freezer also, four weeks between pickups is a bit of a stretch. I'm making sure I have my favourites ordered.
