Introducing Hidden Treasure Tuesday!!

During the month of January, we'll be sharing a weekly deal for you! We have noticed that often, our customers come to the shop and find "new" things on the shelves they have never noticed before! It seems that it's easy to overlook all of the goodies we have in the shoppe, and so we thought we'd share those treasures with YOU!

Hello! from Granny Organic
It is time to start dreaming about the vegetable garden and make your seed lists.
Territorial seeds & cataloges are now in the shoppe.  To make your life easier, Granny Organic has selected seeds with the best flavor, success for home gardeners & non-GMO (per Territorial's guarantee). 
The Territorial seed cataloge has tons of info. about growing & harvesting your vegetables and how many seeds you'll need. So come in and get one while supplies last.  The cataloges cost .75 so we'll give you .75 off any order of $5.00 or more.
This week's tips: 
1.  Plant parsley seeds in 6 paks and leave outside for 7 days to freeze before your bring them inside so they will germinate quicker.  (Old Timer, Virgie used to say, "Parsley has to go to the devil & back before it comes up.")
2.  Start some kale, spinach or chard inside now.
3.  Use cardboard eggcartons for starting seeds inside.  They will decompose in the ground.
See you in the Garden;
Granny Organic
