Plants are two shelves deep, floor to ceiling!If you have cool-season crops in the ground, consider covering them tonight and tomorrow night. They can withstand some frost, but better safe than not.Warmer days are coming this weekend just in time for our Spring Fling Cool-Season Plant Sale, Saturday April 18th, 10a, at our greenhouse: 1002 N. 2nd, CdA. Rain or shine! See you Saturday! 🥬🫛🥦🧅🌼 ... See MoreSee Less
