Fall Garden Starts are HERE!
Hey Farm Friends, I hope you're all having a fantastic Summer and finding ways to stay cool! There's no escaping this brutal heat as a farmer, and this summer has been a record setter, making it hard to stay motivated to be out there everyday. The weeds and grass get taller; the compost sits to age 'just a little longer'; those old crops left from last season start getting called 'cover crops', and the thunderstorms make good excuses to stay inside... But Fall is approaching fast, and its time to move!
For the last several weeks, I've been starting seeds for the upcoming Fall Season, and this week the first transplants and direct sown seeds are going in the ground to be ready to harvest by the beginning of October.
Lots of you have been anxious to get your own Fall Gardens going and you are right on time!!
This Labor Day weekend we will have the first round of starts ready to take home. I've got Lettuces, 'Gourmet Mixed Greens', Melons, Beans, Squash, Zucchini, Peppers, Herbs and more to start, with Tomatoes and Cucumber, Kale, Collards, Chard and tons more on the way throughout the month!
I've also got bulk Potting Mix available for purchase at $4/cubic ft - about a 5-gallon bucket ($85 for a yard or more) if you need some fresh soil to top off your raised beds.
Fruit Trees everywhere! If you've fallen in love with tropical fruits, its time to plant your own! I've got 100s of trees and dozens of species of tropical fruit trees that THRIVE here in Pinellas County. Help me make room for new plants!

Last Call for CSA Memberships
The 2026/2027 CSA Membership Season will begin October 16
The Fall Farm Season is approaching FAST! I've got the first crops in the ground and I hope to be harvesting lettuces and baby greens regularly by the beginning of October. I'm anticipating the start of CSA Season to get started the week of October 16 and I am FIRED UP!
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This is a model where Members pre-pay for a season of veggies up front, during the summer off-season when I do not have steady sales coming from the farm's normal weekly harvests. This helps fund infrastructure repairs and upgrades, seed and supply orders, and even seasonal staff. In return, we make sure these fine folks get the best of what's available from the Farm from October to May.
I am super happy to announce that we have already matched last season's 'biggest group ever'! I should be closing things down, but its our 10th Season here at Greens N Things and I don't want anyone left out! However, in order to plan accordingly, THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR CSA MEMBERSHIPS. I have room for a few more families each week. Looking at you! :)

Season 10 is here
This will be my 10th Season operating Greens N Things Urban Farm. I am super proud to have been able to grow delicious, high quality veggies for you all right here in the middle of our wonderful city for so many years. It has not been easy; its still not easy, but with your continued support and a little luck, I'll be able to keep growing for many more years. Help us make this our biggest yet!
Come see us at the Farmstand
Every week you can shop the best of what's available from the Farm at our Farmstand/Nursery at 1740 21st St N., St Petersburg, FL 33713. Open Fridays 12p-5p and Saturdays 9a-1p.
The main veggie season typically runs October-May/June, so we'll have much more variety and volume once harvesting begins in October. I also have Honey available from Queen & Colony (based in St Pete) and Eggs (St Pete) each week and we are working with several local bakers (also from St Pete) in rotation to get you fresh bread options for your weekly groceries.
Thank you all for your continued support, I cant wait to feed you again for Season 10!
