A: All of our plants will have been in the greenhouse for 4-8 weeks. Some have been in the greenhouse a little less as they need less time. On the description for each plant, we give an average day to maturity from when you pick up and plant the plant until when you can harvest it. Some herbs may be smaller when you get them, but rest assured they will bush up soon after planting.
-
A: You can pay in cash or card!
-
A: In most cases, no. We will only sell you vigorous, healthy seedlings. However, if your plant dies immediately after purchase, please reach out to us!
-
A: Absolutely!

A: In general when you see day to harvest on our page it will be for fruiting crops. If a tomato says 50 days to harvest that means from the time you plant it to the time it’s ready to harvest. For all other crops, day to maturity mean from the time we seeded it to the time it’s ready to harvest. If it take 60 days for something to reach maturity and we had it in the greenhouse for 30 days, it should be ready to harvest in 30 days after planting.
