Plantel Nurseries (5)If you have ever driven from Buellton to San Jose on Hwy 101, you are well aware that the California Central Coast is very much about agriculture .  Cold crop veggies like broccoli, cauliflower and those good ole leafy greens grow all year long in our moderate coastal climate.  My husband Mike is long-time operations manager for Plantel Nurseries.  By starting vegetable seeds in a nursery like Plantel, less water is used and more of the seeds develop into viable plants.  Planting “transplants” offers farmers greater vegetable yield and a shorter growing season.  This means more vegetables per acre per year.  Are you up for some veggie appreciation?  This Saturday the staff at Plantel invite you to a tour of their nursery on Telephone Road in Santa Maria.  You may even be able to take home a transplant or two for your yard!  See the notice below for details.
