"Saving and preserving pure, natural seeds for our future."
We are located at the Hernando County Farmers Market every Saturday 10am- 3pm.
2450 US19 Spring Hill, Fl 34606. I always have plants, fertilizer, Grow- Towers & seeds available.
Orders for plants are to be picked up there.

Heirlooms,
The only unaltered, pure, secure food source.
 

      Heirloom seeds                   

Why our Seeds?
 
I specifically hand pick the seeds we sell for our climate,environment and area (higher temperatures & humidity).  We start them, we grow them, we collect and save them, all
with our own hands. For those we can't grow and save enough of you can be assured
they are from the original source that also has the highest standards. I only sell those I
have grown, and grew successfully;  If I haven't, I don't sell it.
 
Heirlooms are proven to have more vitamins & minerals than commercial-convention vegetables because they are non altered & non modified. Tthey grow naturally and have
their original traits. Needless to say, of course Taste Better!  Organic methods also
provide them with more nutrients. By adding organic matter and other organic components to the soil, they replenishe and rebuilds the minerals & micro-nutrients in the soil.
Herbicides & synthetic fertilizers use chemicals which harm the natural rebuilding process
and create toxic runoff which is bad for the environment.
 
All our seeds and plants are open pollinated. (Which really goes without saying since they are heirlooms)
That means you can save the seeds and they will grow true to type (like the original plant).  By growing Heirlooms over and over in an environment they naturally adapt to
our pests & diseases which in turn builds their defenses. Buy our seeds and plants and
save the seeds and you will never have to buy them again!
We signed the "Safe Seed Pledge"

Gardening Tips

Bugs start early in the season here in Fl. . The best thing we can do is prevention. Spray a product containing BT in the beginning of the season or as soon as you see evidence of pests, such as holes in leaves etc..
BT is a natural occuring bacteria that scientists have developed into a substance that the worms eat,get sick and die. It does not kill other bugs and is harmless to people and animals. There are different forms of BT so read the directions. It will kill butterfly catepillars so if you want them around, don;t use it. But remember while they are catepillars, they eat your veggies! I try to avoid using anything except my Homemade Insect Spray , but I have started spraying Outbound, (a product from Green World Path) as a preventitive and have had great results and better crops. Worms are usually out just before and after the sun comes up. Go out early to pick them off. Look for curled leaves and inside is where they lay their eggs and turn into worms while eating their way out. Of course destroy all the worms you find.

This should be done in all shools to teach children about growing their own healthy food! As you can see they really enjoy it. Try planting a few things with your kids at home. There is nothing like the look on their faces when they see the new sprouts and eat what they grew!
