Mulberry Creek Herb Farm: Catalog/Vegetables

Vegetables

Certified Organically Grown Vegetables We love the flavor of the heirlooms, however, we have made room for newer disease resistant varieties. Our emphasis will always be on Organic and Heirloom Seeds, but we will continue to rogue the poor performers regardless of their heritage. If vegetable prices continue to escalate, our currency just might convert to watermelon and pepper seeds. But remember, these are healthy, ready to plant, 3-1/2 inch & 4 pack vegetable starters. Still the best deal in the catalog! Heirlooms, to the best of our knowledge, are marked with an *.

PEPER & TOMATOES

Certified Organically Grown Vegetables Observations: If a variety did not perform in the summer of 2005, it probably never will. We have made room for new varieties, with an emphasis on Organic and Heirloom Seends, and tossed out a few poor performers.

Still the best deal in the catalog! Each pot is only $2.99. Please order a minimum of six. (Not necessarily the same variety) Heirlooms, to the best of our knowledge, are marked with an *.
