Don’t you love it when life gives you second chances? Seattle Tilth held an Early Season Edible Plant Sale last weekend at Magnuson Park. After all the standard weekend errands, I looked at my watch around 2:30 and thought, “YIKES! I’d better get over to the Tilth sale before all my favorite early spring veggies are gone . . .” Before I threw the little red wagon into the car, I hopped on the web to check the location. Wouldn’t you know, it ended at 2:00!
Great news, folks, this weekend we all get a big time DO OVER this Saturday, March 27, 2 – 4 p.m. at the Good Shepherd Center (4649 Sunnyside Ave. N.)! Like me, you are probably out there chomping at the bit to get started on your vegetable garden. Raised beds are springing up in yards and planting strips all over Wallyhood and all they need is some great healthy starts. Now is the perfect time to get those cold crops in the ground.
HALF OFF Bare Root Fruit Trees, Shrubs and Veggie Starts
Come to Seattle Tilth’s Second Chance Edible Plant Sale this Saturday for a special sale on bare root fruit trees, fruiting vines and cane fruit that need good homes. These plants are left over from our sale on March 20 and are available on a first come, first served basis on Saturday only. Also available are an assortment of perennial herbs and cool season veggie crops that are ready to plant.
Prices are discounted 40-60%! You can get bare root trees such as apples, plums, cherry, Asian and European pears for $10; caneberries, cranberries, quince, kiwis, and grapes are $10; organic veggie starts are $1.50 and herbs are $2. If you missed our new spring sale last weekend or still need more plants, this is your chance.
Check out Seattle Tilth’s web site for a full list of plants and prices. This weekend, my little red wagon and I will be queued up when the gate opens. Hope to see you there!
