Perennials

These are plants that have performed well for us year after year.

$5 Stinging Nettles

These are among the very first greens we harvest. By the end of February they're up, and we gather them all spring and dry to use in teas, infusions, soups and more.

$5 Strawberries (6-pack)

These June Bearing Strawberry plants usually only produce one vigorous crop of large, sweet juicy strawberries in spring to early summer. That being said, the perennial plants usually produce little to no fruit in their first growing season. Because of this, gardeners usually pinch back any flowers and runners, allowing the plant to put all its energy into healthy root development in the first season.

$5 White Wonder Feverfew

A treasured flowering ornamental herb with branching, two foot plants blanketed with clusters of snow white, 1/2 inch double blossoms that resemble clouds of petite chrysanthemum flowers. Perfect as bouquets on their own or use to fill out any cut flower bouquet. Well known for its therapeutic value, feverfew is widely acknowledged as an effective herbal remedy for migraines.

Annuals

These varieties are selected for the Yakima area climate, pest resistance, and superior flavor.

$2 Broccoli, Dietrich's Wild Broccoli Raab

A readily self-seeding biennial, it is best planted in late Spring, but can be planted well into late Summer and still provide excellent "raabs" the following Spring. Even when it's not sending up the cut-and-come-again flower spikes from which it gets its name, the leaves make great cooking greens well into the winter months.

$3 Calendula, Pacific Beauty Orange

The cheerful bright orange blossom produce an infused oil with that classic calendula hue. Deadhead for continuous blooms until first frost.

$2 Kale, Red Winter

Considered to be perhaps the most tender of all the kale plants. An improved version of Red Russian kale, the two plants look strikingly similar with broad, purple-veined leaves that resemble oak leaves in shape. Immature leaves can be harvested early in the growing cycle for especially tender leaves, but this varietal is so sweet that a bundle of freshly picked leaves is sure to please your palate any time during the growing season.

$2 Spigarello

Spigarello is a cut-and-come-again, cool-season crop that can withstand slight frost and will deliver multiple harvests. The green is highly favored for its sweet, subtly bitter flavor, sturdy texture, and exclusivity.
