“Gardeners of all levels can continue to keep their gardens thriving well past the close of summer with our Fall PlantlingsPlus varieties,” said Rebecca Sears, CMO & Resident Green Thumb for Ferry-Morse. “Whether you want to add fresh cool-weather crops like cauliflower or artichokes to your homecooked meals or find new ways to incorporate deep hues into your fall décor, there’s something that everyone can enjoy this extended growing season.”

Enhance Your Culinary Skills with Fresh Fall Flavors

Home cooks agree that fresh ingredients take any meal from good to great. Instead of spending time and money picking produce from the grocery store that has already lost some of its freshness in transport, Ferry-Morse’s vegetable and herb PlantlingsPlus deliver quality ingredients that bring big garden-to-table flavors.

Cold hardy vegetable varieties like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, broccoli, and Swiss chard can be planted in time for Fall harvesting as early as September, depending on growing zone. Fresh herbs make any meal or cocktail/mocktail a standout and the Ferry-Morse collection offers a wide variety from dill and cilantro to lavender and rosemary. The full line has also expanded to include brand new varieties like Cheddar Cauliflower, Green Globe Artichokes and Garlic Geisha Chives.
