COASTAL SUMMER VEGETABLE GARDEN SEED PLANTING WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

These carefully selected varieties will thrive on the coast where fungal and bacterial diseases are a challenge. Each has been selected for flavor, vigor, and appearance. Most of these hard-to-find selections aren't available from nurseries and can only be acquired from specialized seed companies as I have done. Workshop includes all seeds, a seed tray, Foxfarm organic soil, and two hours of instruction on planting and caring for seedlings.
