Annual Plant Adoption-2026

My 7th year of providing spoiled rotten, healthy, organic plant starts to friends new & old; from our farmstead to your garden! This is the best gig EVER {and saves YOU a ton of work… kind of like getting a mechanic to fix your car because who likes doing that?…and buying all the equipment?}!

2026 SEASON STARTS WILL BE LISTED MID TO LATE WINTER FOR PRE-ORDERS

As always they are 100% organic seed, grown in 100% organic soil and spoiled rotten until adopted!

Adoption fees are as follows per plant {unless marked}:

All vegetables $5.00, All herbs $4.00, All flowers $4.00 and Roselle Hibiscus $6

They are all first come first serve, so be sure to contact me to reserve your plants as early as possible {it helps me TREMENDOUSLY for planning purposes and I don’t want any friends having to wrestle each other for the last speciality tomato plant}! I also know most of you end up wanting more on adoption day because these beautiful babies are SO hard to resist, so I’ve got yer back and try to grow extra of the basics, like is there any reason not to have 3 basil plants or one of every tomato {asking for a friend!}?

Plants are ready to be adopted the 3rd week of April for our surrounding zones {7, 7a, 7b, 8}. Just keep them warm and watered until ready to plant!

Available varieties are listed below {new ones may be added}. I will update availability below as quickly as I can and will contact you to confirm your order as well to collect adoption fees!

Pre-orders have closed. Please message for availability or come in April to shop the extras I grow!

If you are looking to start a larger amount of a certain item/variety, please let me know as I often do custom starts. Contact me with details of what you would like!

{Please, help this lil’ farmer out…. refrain from reserving plants if you don’t plan on picking them up or can’t pick up around the 3rd week of April…it’d be better to see what extras I grew and come at your convenience, if not my greenhouse will be a jungle for plants waiting to go home}.

Message me through Facebook HERE or my personal FB page or through my contact form HERE or for those of you that have my personal contact info, text me or email me! If posted in Homestead FB group also feel free to comment there. All orders need to include the following:

Your full name, variety, quantity, cell #, email address and where you saw the post.

Hibiscus: $6.00 each; Roselle variety {amazing for brewing tea or flavoring Kombucha!}

Peas & Bush Beans: $4.50 each; Antigua or Celine Bush beans. Lincoln Peas.

Please bring a plastic bin or lined cardboard box to transport your plant babies home, as your plants are watered regularly and no one wants wet car seats!

Tomatoes are indeterminate varieties {Google it} which means they will need a support structure or trellis which can be as simple as extra-tall tomato cages, long sticks or pieces of bamboo or strings tied to a taller structure they can climb up, etc. They will be sent home with temporary stakes.

*substitutions in the same category may be necessary depending on germination… it’s nature my friends

And please y’all.. have some grace for farmers. We are all battling rising costs of ALL of our inputs; seeds, soil, starting pots, grow lights, stakes, plant labels, greenhouse supplies, etc. Think about this example; the cost of a single large organic heirloom tomato at the store is roughly the cost of an entire single organic tomato PLANT from me… which is going to fill your belly with pounds and pounds of nutrient dense tomatoes!

    Thank you for all the work you do for us, especially those of us who are clueless! You help us in numerous ways through your research, hard work, trials, efforts, and your great appreciation of God’s provisions for us which He has provided by giving us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). Your work makes our lives easy and healthy! Thank you so much!
