FAQ's

How does delivery work?

We have two delivery dates - April 18th, and May 16th.

Your cold-hardy seedlings will be delivered on April 18th, and the frost-sensitive ones on May 16th.

Free delivery? Really?

This year, yes. As long as you're reasonably close to Reno.

If you want to know what we consider "reasonable", drop us a line with the delivery address, and we'll let you know!

Where are the tomatoes, peppers, and the rest of the summer seedlings?

We have quite the list - over fifty different varieties available! We started with the cold-hardy ones, and will be uploading the rest steadily between now and mid-May - so check back (or follow us on social media) as we announce the warmer weather seedlings.

I already placed an order, but you've added more varieties that I want, too. What should I do?

Go ahead and place another order!

We'll lump it together with your previous order, and make sure your deliveries consist of all the seedlings from your combined orders.

When should I plant my seedlings?

The simple, if unsatisfying, answer is "it depends".

We describe our seedlings as "frost-sensitive", "frost-tolerant", and "cold-hardy".

Cold-hardy seedlings can be transplanted any time.

Frost-tolerant seedlings will survive a light frost, down to about 28 degrees.

Frost-sensitive seedlings will be killed by freezing temperatures - but can be protected with floating row cover, Walls-of-Water, or any number of DIY approaches.

Okay, but WHEN should I plant my tomatoes?

At Ripcord (Washoe Valley, ~5300' elevation) we're planting ours around May 15th, with AG-30 row cover on standby to protect against frosts. We assume we'll need to protect against at least one frost.

At our home (West University) we plant in early May, as long as the 10-day forecast is clear of freezing temps.
