VEGETABLES
Growing your own veggies is a great way to bring healthy freshness to your daily diet. Also - it's just plain fun! We would know! Our Production Department grows every vegetable plant we have for sale.
You deserve to know where your plants come from. When you're shopping at Ashcombe, look for From Seed to Sale signage and you'll know that plant was grown just steps away by talented growers who love plants. Click the image below to learn more about our Production Department.
By growing vegetables at home, you can control what you eat. Start with a sunny spot in your garden. You should have a soil test done first, which you can get from your local extension office - for Cumberland County we use The Penn State Extension. Our Garden Supply Department also has soil testing kits you can use on your own.
Add good organic matter to your soil such as Bumper Crop, humus, or your own compost. Use an organic fertilizer in your soil. With healthy soil, you will be less likely to have garden pests.
Pick and choose what vegetables you grow based on what you and your family eat the most. Vegetable gardening can become an activity for the whole family with the spice lover growing some high Scoville peppers while the more mellow family members grow cucumbers or squashes. You'll have so much fun watching your garden come to life.
