Greenhouses to Garlic...and So Much More!
Dave and me (Curtis) met over a shared interest in Passive Solar Greenhouses. Over time we wondered could we trial some pretty novel things with these year-round greenhouses and garlic. Could we start growing garlic from tiny garlic bulbils (kind of like a seed) in our greenhouses during the harsh Newfoundland Winter? Could we get these bulbils started and then push them outside in the spring so we could adapt new garlic varieties to the local climate? Could we bring some good, but dormant farmland up to snuff in order to scale things up quickly? Fast forward a couple years and after a lot of hard-work, help, and planning it looks like things are working! We are now pleased to offer high-quality, and delicious garlic to backyard growers, garlic-hungry home cooks and restaurants alike.
Our growing philosophy looks to maximize locally sourced fertility, cover cropping, science and ingenuity to build our soil and test what is possible. While we are anchored in garlic, we have expanded our vegetable, seed, and product offerings significantly and now also offer a variety of educational workshops to share the knowledge we've built these last years.
At Fixed Vegetables and Seed we strive to provide gardeners with locally adapted methods and gardening supplies tuned to our climate. We offer seed, locally propagated perennials, grafted fruit trees, as well as growing supplies that range from irrigation to season extension. We test all of the products we offer by growing things in our climate to gauge product performance. Rest be assured, if a customer is buying a product, we have verified it works in our unique context.
Let us know what you want from us...and we'll see if we can have that problem Fixed !
