Do you have planting guide/suggestions for eastern Oregon fall/winter vegetables to plant? Thank you. Cheryl
hi was looking on your website for a pacific nw seed for beet greens used in salads. do you have any? could you recommend a variety?
I’ve had the best luck with your seeds! Thank you! I recently moved to a small island in SE Alaska from the fertile soil of Mt. Hood Oregon. Needless to say growing a garden on a large rock island has proven difficult. I’m really struggling with the planting schedule and the sheer amount of water we get. Any ideas on what to add to soil to add drainage and to help fertilizer not just wash away. We get about 200 inches of rain each year!
