"The harvest heals. It gives a sense of that wealth that only a stack of garlic or a pile of firewood or manure can represent..." --Stanley Crawford, from "A Garlic Testament".

Product Highlights For Fall

Floating Row Cover
Protection from those first frosts

Protect your plants from garden pests and light frosts. Great for young seedlings and fall gardening.

Eat More Greens in the Fall with our Deluxe Cold Frame
This light-weight, attractive unit will compliment any backyard patio, deck, or even a sunny balcony. We had salad greens growing in ours when there was still snow in the garden! Rot resistant frame is constructed from second growth redwood, and the sloped glazing is a durable insulated polycarbonate panel. The optional Automatic Vent Operator eliminates worries about overheating, or forgetting to close the cover at night. It releases easily for full access. Perfect for those with a busy lifestyle who still want the many benefits of a cold frame.

Protect your plants with Solar Bells
Cloches provide an inexpensive, flexible and effective way to protect your plants. In the winter their main value is the protection they give from wind chill. In summer they can be used to provide the humid atmosphere essential for plant survival. The adjustable air vent provides a practical means of controlling the atmosphere within. Diameter 18 inches; height 14 inches. Comes with four anchor pins.

Garden Tunnels
Three models for all your needs.

Extends and compacts like an accordian. Galvanized steel hoops are incorporated into the material to create a one-piece, easy-to-use tunnel. The tunnel is pulled out to its full length and secured by pushing to hoop ends firmly into the soil. Several tunnels can be joined together by overlapping their ends. The last section can be positioned open, partially open, or fully closed for complete protection. All tunnels sized: 10 feet long, 17.75 inches wide, 11.75 inches high.

Easy Composting with the Tumbleweed Composter
Turn your grass clippings, kitchen scraps, and garden refuse into valuable fertilizer with the Tumbleweed Composter. This rugged unit is simple to assemble in less than an hour. The ample seven cubic foot chamber is hinged in the center to a sturdy steel stand, making turning a breeze. Even a child can do it. And, unlike composters that roll on the ground, this one won't flatten the vegetation. Easy to secure lids on both ends keep dogs, raccoons, and other critters out of your compost. With its small footprint and ease of operation, this is the perfect composter for suburban gardeners who want to experience the joys of composting but don't have the space, time, or inclination for building bins or turning piles.

Seed Saving Kit for all your special seeds.
Collect your seeds in ten airtight, glass-topped tins and glassine seed envelopes with labels. The kit includes seed collection & storage bags with stakes for marking collection plants, seed desiccant, twine, bands, and a pencil. Use the seed tin labels and reference guide for collecting, cleaning, storing, and trading seeds.
