Veggie Starts

It’s that glorious, wonderful time of year again when you can think about getting your warm season veggie crops planted for optimal yield! Fort Collins Nursery is your source for the greatest selection of veggies including peppers, cucumbers, squash, zucchini and dozens of Fort Collins Nursery grown tomato varieties ranging from the traditional to the exotic. You’ll also find fresh herbs including basil, cilantro, rosemary, chives and more. New shipments of starter plants arrive nearly every day!

Please remember, even the hardiest of vegetables and flowers need protection from frost and freezing temperatures. In Northern Colorado, the average last frost date is May 15, and in Southern Wyoming it can be as late as the first or second week of June. Use Season Extenders (AKA Wall O Water), Hot Kaps, or other methods of frost protection to get an early start on these tender plants.
