About Plant
Our mission is to provide you with the highest quality and largest selection of locally grown plants. Come on in and shop our large selection of vegetables. Need help? Any one of our Farmer John’s staff can assist you to help make the right selection for your home.
Look for ‘Royal Ace’ acorn type, ‘Butterfly’ butternut, ‘Vegetable Spaghetti’, and multicolored summer squash ‘ Superpik’. For Zucchini, choose from the Italian striped ‘San Pasquale’, round stuffer ‘Eight Ball’, or the classic ‘Commander’. Newer varieties have improved powdery mildew resistance, and vigorous bushy to vining growth habits that benefit from cages and supports for increased air circulation.
