Herbs in the garden

There is nothing better than harvesting your own fresh herbs.  Even better drying them and filling your spice jars!  Be sure and check out the “Medicinal Herbs”.  You can grow your own medicine!

Farmers Market Spring Hill

We are at the farmers market every Saturday with our best plants & herbs.  Of course I have all my seeds too!

“Saving, Growing & Preserving, Pure Natural Seeds since 2008”

NON GMO –  OPEN POLLINATED – NON TREATED SEEDS

Free surprise Pack of Seeds With Every Purchase! 

I am at the Spring Hill Farmers Market every Saturday 9am to 3pm  I always have my best plant stock, seeds, stackable pots, fertilizer/pest control and more available there. (see below for map)

**NOTE**  The date on the seed packs are the year they were packaged, NOT the seed expiration date.  Most seeds are viable for many years, some longer than others.  I hope this information is helpful.

 

Heirloom – Open Pollinated seeds, “The only unaltered, pure, secure food source”

Heirlooms are proven to possess a much higher nutritional value since they maintain their original traits. Heirlooms also maintain their flavor and texture traits. This is why they taste better than commercial, conventionally grown vegetables because those traits remain unaltered. If grown organically, these traits are even further enhanced.  I only sell Heirloom – Open Pollinated varieties.

Why Florida Backyard Vegetable Gardener Heirloom Seeds?

I specifically hand pick every type of  seeds we sell for Florida.  But that does not mean they won’t grow everywhere else.  They definitely will and since they are heirloom, they will adapt to any growing environments and conditions over time.  I also hand pack each pack of seeds which allows me to pick out any seeds that are not up to par.  I acclimate them to our climate, environment and area (higher temperatures & humidity).   Most in our catalog we go from seed to plant to seed to sell or grow again.  All with our own hands. I also do small batch testing to further insure high quality seed.  For those we can’t grow and save enough, you can be assured they are from the original source or other local growers that also have the high standards. I only sell seeds I have grown successfully; If I haven’t, I won’t sell it.  I also have the amount of seeds per pack on each package, not by weight like most other companies.  With my seeds you know how many you get.  You do not have to guess, for example how many seeds are  .2 grams etc.

Heirloom seeds are proven to have more vitamins & minerals than hybrids because they are non altered & non modified. Heirloom seeds grow naturally and have their original traits. Needless to say of course, Heirlooms Taste Better! Organic methods also provide them with more nutrients. By adding organic matter and other organic components to the soil, they replenish and rebuild 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 of our seeds and plants are open pollinated. (Which really goes without saying since they are heirloom seeds). 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”
