The Early Bird

Gets the best selection of our newly arrived vegetable and herb transplants!

A great way to grow salad

You've planned, pruned and prepped and now you're ready to get your spring vegetable garden in the ground. Or in a raised bed. Or in multiple pots. Wherever it's going to be, make sure that you're armed with some burlap or insulating fabric and be ready on a day's notice to cover up your latest additions in the event that we get a sudden drop in temperatures over the next month.
Ok now that the technical stuff is covered...

We have lots of new varieties to get excited about this spring as well as your regularly scheduled program of favorites.


Have a hankering for hot peppers?
Check out our latest in the heirlooms. We have the varieties to turn up the heat.

The Shishito is a traditional Japanese pepper that's on the milder side. The three inch long size makes it great for tempura.

The Fish Pepper is so named for it's use in spicy seafood dishes on the East coast in the 1940's. 
The bonus is in the beautiful white and green foliage. Ornamental and edible all in one!

The Padron Pepper originated in Northern Spain and it's small, but don't underestimate it. This pepper will keep you guessing if you're going to get a hot one. Served traditionally tapas style; sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.




If it's tomatoes you're after, you won't want to miss these new heirloom grape varieties.
Grape tomatoes are so easy and rewarding to grow. The small fruit ripens faster than the larger fruited varieties and makes for great snacks in the garden. 

Fruit Punch Cherry Tomato is real treat with it's sweet, true tomato flavor.

Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato is the perfect container tomato plant as it grows to about 12 inches tall, and bushy so there's no staking required.

Come see what else is new at your Star Nursery!
