Join us bright and early (before 8am) on Saturday, May 18 for the Annual North Country Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Sale fundraiser. We will have a large variety of tomatoes and peppers as well as herbs and pollinator plants.
The peppers we offer are especially suited to our shorter cooler growing season up here in the north country! Below I have organized our offerings by "Days to Maturity" but keep in mind that many factors can impact when you will actually get fruit. Our pepper plants will give you a head start of about 15 to 30 days depending on the conditions including proper hardening off (to prevent the plants from going into shock--watch for a future post on hardening off your seedlings), soil temp at the time of planting, night time temps, day time temps, sun, wind and moisture conditions, and pest interference. Some of these peppers are the traditional bell shape while others are conical.
We offer one hot pepper:

Additions to the Pollinator Six Pack ~ Continue to Feed the Bees ~ Why Have a Pollinator Garden? Butterflies, bees and other insects are attracted to flowers in search of nectar. They brush up against the anthers of a flower, get pollen grains on their body and carry the pollen from flower to flower. A Pollinator Garden is a garden predominately with flowers that provide nectar or pollen for a range of pollinating insects. A pollinator garden can be any size. You might only have a balcony or a small yard, but you can still plant a pollinator friendly flowers there. Ox Eye Sunflower and Purple Coneflower will be new additions to our Pollinator Six Pack.
