Herb and Sprout We are a boutique flower farm and nursery. Urban Sprout Farms is becoming Herb and Sprout! And if you’re new here, welcome to Herb and Sprout!

Our new name reflects how we’ve grown—bringing together our farming roots, seasonal plants, books, and an expanding collection of store offerings. We still grow seasonal plant starts and have expanded into native perennials, herbs, and flowers. Growing remains at the heart of what we do, with our roots in permaculture inspiring a thoughtful connection to the soil, the seasons, and our community. Herb and Sprout also makes room for what we’re creating beyond the garden. We’re working on books and developing our store, bringing more of our interests and ideas into one place. Here you’ll find updates on those projects alongside what’s growing and blooming each season. As we settle into our new name, we look forward to sharing seasonal availability, book updates, new store offerings, and everyday moments behind the scenes. To everyone who has supported Urban Sprout Farms, thank you for growing with us.

A useful garden map records both crop names and plant families. Mark where tomatoes and peppers grew, and where cabbage and kale grew. Add any confirmed pest or disease problems before planning the next crop. Rotation can help with some problems, but limited distance and shared conditions mean it is only part of the plan. Adapted from Regenerative Urban Agriculture, Chapter 11, and GROW: Autumn, Day 81, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for next season’s planning.

Newly planted perennials deserve their own moisture check. Their original root ball can dry differently from the surrounding soil, so gently check both below the surface before adding water. If the root zone is dry for that plant, water slowly and let it soak in; if it is already moist, wait and recheck; if it stays soggy, look at drainage before watering again. Rainfall, cooler weather, and a damp-looking surface cannot replace a root-zone check. Keep a short note for each recent planting and avoid constant saturation. Save this for your next garden round. Original practical adaptation of GROW: Autumn, Day 65.

Look above and below the soil line when checking a transplant. Support the root ball gently, keep roots shaded and moist, and plant at the depth appropriate for that crop. Choose suitable conditions rather than forcing a planting into extreme heat or frozen soil. Adapted from GROW: Autumn, Day 19, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for your next transplanting day.

Choose a container for the plant it will hold at maturity. Check root room, drainage, and the conditions where it will stand. Container material and exposure affect how quickly the growing mix dries, so plan to observe it. Adapted from Regenerative Urban Agriculture, Chapter 5, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this before your next container planting.

Your garden’s light changes with the season, the sun’s angle, and nearby trees. Map one bed in the morning, around midday, and later in the afternoon; keep direct sun and bright shade separate, and record the date and weather. Repeat at consistent times on comparable days before changing your planting plan. Three snapshots reveal patterns; if a plant needs a specific number of sun hours, track when direct sun comes and goes across the whole day. Save this for your next garden check. Original practical adaptation of GROW: Autumn, Day 70.

After rain, wait until it is safe to inspect the garden. Follow where water enters, where it moves soil, and where it leaves. Photograph sediment or persistent puddles so you can compare later. Do not dig near buried utilities or redirect runoff onto a neighbor's property; get suitable advice for larger drainage changes. Adapted from GROW: Autumn, Day 59, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for the next safe post-rain walk.

A few damaged leaves do not tell the whole story. Identify the organism or problem, look at the extent of damage, and check for beneficial insects before deciding what to do. Use reliable local guidance and consider suitable preventive or nonchemical steps first. Keep a note and return to see what changes. Adapted from Regenerative Urban Agriculture, Chapter 12, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for your next garden walk.

Keep a supply of dry leaves near your compost so fresh plant scraps can be mixed in with suitable dry material. Avoid thick separate layers. Let moisture, smell, and decomposition guide adjustments, and follow local composting guidance for accepted materials. Ordinary backyard piles should exclude meat, oily food, and pet waste. Adapted from GROW: Autumn, Day 47, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for your next compost visit. AI-generated illustrative garden imagery.

A small garden can be easier to use when its layout follows your routine. Start with the herbs and greens you reach for often, then look for a suitable growing spot near the door or a path you already take. Check the plant’s needs before choosing that spot. Try the idea on paper before your next planting. Adapted from the zones lesson in Regenerative Urban Agriculture, Chapter 7, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for your next garden layout.

Saved seeds deserve useful records. Label one lot with its crop, variety if known, year, and source. Add an observed trait and any uncertainty about crossing or parent health. Keep a second label inside the packet and use suitable dry storage. A clear label helps you decide how much garden space to give the seed lot. Adapted from GROW: Autumn, Day 42, by Nuri Icgoren. Save this for your next seed-sorting session. AI-generated illustrative garden imagery.
