| Introduction | Hi my name is Chris,I have been growing an increasing portion of my own vegetables now for 13 years. I moved to Hobart 7 years ago from Brisbane with my wife and daughter. Starting this business means I can share my passion for food gardening with the rest of Hobart. These seedlings are grown in my backyard using when available, seeds from Select Organics. I prefer this seed company because they carry a large range of certified organic seeds as well as chemical free, open pollinated varieties. To give your seedlings the best start, I sow them into individual mini cells filled with home made organic seed raising mix. Germinated under controlled conditions seedlings are then toughened up by exposing them to wind stress and outside temperatures before bringing them to market. Pest control is achieved by a mix of physical barriers and if needed natural sprays (Water, white Oil and Neem oil). Seedlings are ready for your purchase at the Farm Gate Market every Sunday. In the car park, corner of Melville St and Elizabeth. 9am till 1pm. My Email is hobartkitchengardens@gmail.com for bulk orders etc. |
