Starter Plants
started from seed at the corner · raised all-natural · sold ready to grow
Every plant here grew from seed in the same beds that feed the stand — the tomatoes in our sauces, the basil on our wood-fired pizzas, the vine behind our passion fruit sorbet. You're not buying a seedling; you're buying a variety we already cook with.
🌱 At the stand now
Golden Nugget Tomato $5
Solanum lycopersicum 'Golden Nugget' — heirloom cherry
A cold-tolerant heirloom cherry that sets sweet golden fruit early and keeps going all summer. Started from seed at the corner, fed all-natural, and hardened off outdoors before it ever meets you.
Genovese Basil $7
Ocimum basilicum 'Genovese' — the pesto heirloom
The classic Italian pesto basil, grown the way we grow everything — all-natural, no shortcuts. It tops our wood-fired pizzas on Pizza Night; take the same plant home and keep cutting it all season.
🌤️ In the seed trays — coming
Italian Heirloom Zucchini from $5
Cucurbita pepo 'Costata Romanesco' — ribbed Roman heirloom
The ribbed Roman zucchini chefs ask for by name — denser, nuttier, and half the water of a supermarket squash. Starts are in the seed tray now.
Purple Opal Basil from $7
Ocimum basilicum 'Dark Opal' — metallic-purple heirloom
Deep metallic-purple leaves with a clove-sweet edge — the basil that makes a caprese look intentional and turns simple syrup pink. Seed tray is started.
Sweet Potato Slips from $3
Ipomoea batatas — rooted slips, variety TBA
Rooted slips ready to plant — the easiest calorie crop a backyard can grow. Ours start from seed potatoes in San Diego, a sweet-potato-weevil-FREE county — the big slip farms all sit inside the southern weevil quarantine zone and sell out every spring.
Passion Fruit Cutting from $12
Passiflora edulis — clones of our year-one-fruiting vine
Rooted cuttings cloned from the corner's own vine — the one that fruited in its first year and supplies our passion fruit sorbet. Not a seedling gamble: a genetic copy of a proven producer.
