Early Summer Plant Sale | Hayes Valley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Roll up your blue jeans and don your sunglasses, farmers – it’s almost summertime! 

On Sunday, May 27, Hayes Valley Farm will be holding its second seasonal plant sale of 2012. In addition to the wide range of edibles, they’ll be offering a slew of beneficials, ground covers, flowers, herbs, perennials, and seeds.

There will also be some extra goodies, like fun facts, guild groupings, tote bags, seed bombs, custom seed packets, and more.

Here’s what you can expect to see:

• Alongside our year-round favorite greens – broccoli, chard, kale, lettuce – you’ll find arugula, beans, brussels sprouts, clary sage, endive, eggplant, peppers, summer squash, tomatillos, and tomatoes.
• For plant and soil health and resiliency, intersperse these in your garden beds with borage, calendulas, california poppies, comfrey, ground covers (like clover), snapdragons, violets, and yarrow.
• To boot, we’ve gathered up some lesser-known, longer-lived crops: mashua, yacón, cape gooseberries, and tree kale!
• These are some of our favorite timeless perennials; they do exceptionally well in San Francisco’s otherwise foggy Mediterranean climate.
