There's Still Time to Plant Garlic and Shallots
It's time to plant Shallots and Garlic in your garden for a bountiful harvest next summer! In most parts of the U.S., both Shallots and Garlic are best planted after the time of the first fall frost date. In fact, they can be planted into December. They both need just enough time to set down their roots and get established before the ground freezes. Order your Shallots and Garlic now before they sell out for the season, and while we ship them out, start preparing your beds for planting.

We have just one variety of Garlic left for fall planting: Early Italian Purple Garlic. When deciding how much Garlic to order and grow, consider that, depending on the harvest, one pound of Softneck Garlic will include about seven heads with six to 20 cloves. One clove will yield one head. A Garlic fanatic may use 80 heads of Garlic a year. A more casual Garlic lover may use 30 heads a year. It never hurts to plant more Garlic! Find full Garlic planting instructions HERE.

We have just one type of Shallots remaining for fall planting: French Red Shallots. Plant them now and forget about them until next spring, when all you'll have to do is keep their bed weeded and watered until they're ready to harvest in midsummer. Find full Shallot planting instructions HERE.


Still Itching to Grow Your Own Food? Don't Let Winter Stop You! 
There isn't a green that's fresher tasting, more local, cheaper, faster or easier to grow than Sprouts. When most our gardens are succumbing to fall and winter, we can keep harvesting fresh healthy veggies packed with vitamins A, C and E, iron, potassium and amino acids every week from our kitchen counter. Try growing your own Alfalfa Sprouts, Mung Bean Sprouts, Radish Sprouts, Broccoli Sprouts, Curled Cress Sprouts, Fenugreek Sprouts, Pea Shoots and Sunflower Sprouts. Learn more HERE.
