This has been in the works for well over a year and we are so excited to Announce our partnership with West Coast Seeds! We have received our seed rack and our first order of seeds with more to come. If you would like a free copy of the West Coast Seed Catalogue send us message to make arrangements. West Coast Seed is a Canadian Seed Company that focusses on providing high quality Non-GMO and NON GEO seeds, that have NEVER been chemically treated. All of their seeds are tes...ted to ensure quality and high germination rates! We have had great success with all of their seeds that we have grown to date, even the tricky ones that require a serious a green thumb! West Coast Seeds has a huge catalogue so we have concentrated our in-stock selections on those seed varieties most suited to our short growing season. Restock orders are placed on Fridays so if there is something you want be sure to let us know! Be sure to subscribe to our Newsletter using the Pop up link on our website to receive up-dates on available varieties. P.S. I know the weather has been unseasonably warm and the snow is just about gone, but don’t forget our last frost date is generally the 2nd 3rd week of June and with only a few exceptions for cold hardy varieties most seeds shouldn’t go in the ground until mid June without frost protection or a greenhouse. See you soon everyone!

So we left two picklers to grow bigger to collect the seeds for next year.... just a little bigger
