Looking Forward
Here are some of the things you can look forward to this cool season. Mark your calendar for these hyper seasonal items so that you don't miss out, and make plans to spend time in your garden. It's good for your mental and physical health, after all.
November: bare root onions and Farmer's Market Favorites
They're here now! Bare root onions are your best bet for a successful onion harvest. They're really popular with the old timers and serious onion growers. We expect onions to be restocked next week.
Interested in planting blueberries, figs, grapes, blackberries, or raspberries? FMFs are the best way to go! These 4''x4''x9'' sleeves will explode into big beautiful plants by the time summer rolls around.
Early December: handmade wreaths
Our stunning holiday wreaths will be available for preorder this weekend at our Holiday Open House. Incredibly fresh and made from materials growing at our ranch in Napa, these wreaths are top quality!
Early December: bare root 'Eclair' strawberries
Culinary garden professionals know, if you have the option of buying big leaves or big healthy roots.. you choose ROOTS, every time! Eclair is a June-bearing variety that is famously fragrant, sweet, and juicy. Berries have a hint of raspberry and citrus.
Late December: bare root roses
Our largest selection and best prices of the year! See the beautiful blooms that we are bringing in for the 2026 rose season. Planning on planting 5 or more roses of any one variety? Put in your special order ASAP.
Early January: bare root fruit trees
Again, the best selection and prices of the year! Talk to Aileen or Dan if you want help picking out a fruit tree perfect for your tastes, garden space, and/or timeline.
January: bare root 'Albion' strawberries
Strawberries are a wonderful companion plant for onions/garlic, asparagus, cucumbers, lettuce, rhubarb, cilantro, yarrow and nasturtiums so consider tucking them in any empty garden spaces.
January: pruning / dormant spray fruit trees
Broken branches, aphids, peach leaf curl, scale, fungus, and blight all need to be dealt with while fruit trees are leafless and dormant in the winter. January is when you want to prune most fruit trees and apply a dormant oil and/or copper spray, depending on the type of tree you have. We love Master Nursery Pest Fighter Oil and Monterey Liqui-Cop. There is a small booklet with the product label on the back of each of these containers that has specific instructions for different types of fruit trees. Our staff can help you read it or advise you on your particular tree if you bring in pictures.
