Seeds
Asparagus is a popular vegetable crop that can be successfully grown in Ohio gardens. A desirable aspect of asparagus culture is that annual planting is not required because once the crop is fully establishes (3 yrs), it can be productive for 12-15 year or more!
We carry Jersey Giant and Mary Washington.
Onion Sets
Growing onions from small sets is the easiest way to grow onions. They can handle the early cool spring weather and will begin setting out roots fairly quickly. Onion sets tend to have a higher success rate than direct sowing onion seeds or transplants. We typically carry red, white, and yellow onion sets.
Seed Potatoes
Potatoes are best grown from planting seed potatoes. They are tubers with 'eyes' that you can use to grow new potatoes. On average one pound of seed potato should yield 10 pounds of new edible potatoes.

Exposure: Sun General Information: Plants produce huge yields of massive, 8-in. (20-cm) heads covered with domes of delicious, medium to small beads. With harvests like these, you’ll be glad Packman freezes so well. And if you live in a warm area or plant a little later for harvesting later into the season, Packman won’t bolt in the heat. Harvest the central head first and watch for many smaller heads to follow from the side-shoots. 48 days to harvest.
Exposure: Sun General Information: Stonehead is an early, medium-headed variety with tip burn tolerance. It has a compact plant with gray-green head color. Stonehead is also an AAS Award Winner.
Exposure: Sun General Information: Always sweet…always mild! Snow Crown is one of the easiest cauliflowers to grow, thanks to its quick growth and strong vigor. The plants produce big yields of fully domed, white heads up to 8 in. (20 cm) across, weighing 1 to 2 lbs. (454 to 908 g). May be eaten raw, cooked, pickled or frozen. Snow Crown holds its eating quality for up to 10 days in the garden. May show a light pink blush when it matures in Summer’s heat, but that won’t affect the flavor at all
Exposure: Sun General Information: Tasty purplish fruits are great in a variety of dishes and are great breaded or fried. Eggplants love warm weather but are damaged by cold. Plants produce 4 to 6 large fruit, or more if kept harvested and well watered.
Exposure: Sun General Information: Fresh, fruity taste. Good holding. 45 days to maturity.
Exposure: Sun General Information: Scarlet, cherry-sized fruits are bursting with sugary flavor and produced in long clusters right up to frost. Grow on stakes or a fence.
Exposure: Sun General Information: These peppers are vigorous, fast growers perfect for patio pots. Better Belles are ready to harvest earlier than other varieties, producing tasty, thick-walled fruit as big as 5 in. (13 cm) across. The fruit matures from green to deep orange, making an attractive addition to salads and veggie trays.
Exposure: Sun General Information: This jewel plants a rainbow of color in veggie and flower gardens! Produces delicious, mildly flavored stems in yellow, gold, orange, pink, violet, green, white, red and even striped! The tender bronze to dark green leaves are best harvested young for salads, or eaten like spinach or beet greens. Performs best in full-sun locations, but will tolerate light shade.

Plant in full sun with soil rich in organic matter. Space plants 5-6' apart. Some varieties are thornless while others do have thorns. Harvest fruit from June to August depending on variety. 2nd year canes produce the fruit, so they should be pruned to the ground after the fruit harvest.
The varieties we typically carry are self-fruitful - no other variety needed for cross pollination. Plant in full sun with soil that is deeply cultivated, well-drained and loose (no heavy clay). Good air circulation helps control disease issues. Provide a sturdy trellis or arbor for the vines to grow on and allow the fruit clusters to hang freely to ripen.
Plant in full sun, in rich well-drained soil, 2-3' apart. Raspberries are perennial, but their canes will only last one season. Trim out the old canes after they are finished bearing fruit. Fruit is typically ripe in June, with some varieties ripening later. Provide a trellis or support to prevent canes from getting damaged or out of control.
Strawberries are either June-bearing (one crop per season) or everbearing, with fruit periodically all summer. Plant in full sun in organically rich soil. Strawberries don't like to be planted too deep. The crown (where foliage and roots meet) should be right at soil level. Set plants 12-18" apart and rows 4' apart.
