The cold, rainy weather has us two weeks behind in terms of plant growth. Cucumbers and squashes have been restarted due to weather conditions; herbs will be available further into the season. Assuming growing conditions cooperate, all listed seedlings will be available the first week of June.
Remick-raised seedlings are available for sale during store hours, while supplies last. Or catch us at the Sandwich Farmers Market each Wednesday in June, from 3-6 p.m., at the Village Green in Sandwich, New Hampshire.
