The time to plant your warm-season vegetables is just around the corner, and Fort Collins Nursery is your go-to source for an incredible selection. Throughout May, we stock a wide assortment of homegrown vegetable and herb starts, grown right here by our skilled production team and cared for using organic pest control. We grow over 40 varieties of tomatoes, along with peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, zucchini, herbs, and more.
We’ll also receive truckloads of additional plants from trusted sources, giving you even more options to choose from.
Keep in mind the average last frost date in Fort Collins is May 15 and later at higher elevations or further north. Many vegetables will not tolerate frost or freezing temperatures. Use Season Extenders (AKA Wall O Water), Hot Kaps, or other methods of frost protection to get an early start on these tender plants.
