About Your Seedlings
All seedlings will be mature and ready to be transplanted into your garden when you receive them. We start all plants from seed at the appropriate time as generally prescribed by the seed companies.
All of our seeds are non GMO and are organic whenever possible. Our seedlings are organically grown in the best possible conditions. They are grown to reach optimum maturity on May 18. Please be advised that we are in growing zone 5B and our ‘generally accepted’ planting date is May 24. The Ontario government has published the following information for planting dates for various crops. OMAFRA – Climate Zones and Planting Dates for Vegetables in Ontario.
Please note that while its almost irresistible to cheat and push the season a bit we would not recommend it without adequate protection from possible frost. Two years ago we had planted crops a few days early and suffered a fairly hard frost On May 23. Now, having said that, it is quite possible that the weather may be perfect heading into the May 20 weekend and all will be good to go. Some of the seedlings such as lettuce, spinach, leek, kale and broccoli will definitely be good to go but please use your better judgement when planting out some of the most tender seedlings.
The following table lists the seeding dates and duration for the different varieties of our veggie and herb seedlings:
