HEIRLOOM We love Organic Cocozelle Zucchini’s light green stripes on the classic Italian green zucchini, evidence of Costata Romanesco in her parentage. As a result, Cocozelle’s flavor soars above average and Friends, we’ve been saving seeds for nearly a decade of the plants that have the fewest spines and the most open architecture, making her abundant harvest that much more joyful for everyone involved!

Large soil blocks are optimal for many varieties, especially larger, quick-growing seeds. We sow everything from broccoli to lettuce, basil to zinnias in our large soil blocks! If you’re going to get just one soil blocker, this is the one. And Friends, soil blocks make seed starting easier and grow such healthier transplants. We have made soil blocks for nearly 20 years as professional growers and don’t worry, it is straightforward for the novice gardener, as well. Every seed you sow will be grateful for growing in a soil block rather than a cell or pot and here’s why: soil blocks have more soil (and thus nutrients) per volume, so each plant is bigger and healthier in impressively little time. Being constricted by plastic sides causes plants to become root-bound, but plants in soil blocks are surrounded instead by air, so the roots naturally “prune’ themselves and never become root-bound, dramatically reducing transplant shock. Not to mention, soil blocks are so fun to use and you’re reducing single-use plastics, too! If you’re a visual learner like so many of us (myself, included!), hop on over to our Soil Blocks in 5 Easy Steps blog for step-by-step written and video tutorials; there’s also the super short story below.
