After determining the right location and seed type to plant, it's time to prepare for planting. Soil test results effectively show the deficiencies that will need to be corrected. The planting of a crop varies on the type of vegetable crop and the cultural practices that are utilized according to the particular crop's needs. Over-planting and under-planting may reduce yields and quality of vegetables. If seeds are planted too early or late in the season, many problems, such as poor root systems, malformed plants and increased risk of crop disease, could arise.

During the planting process, we cultivate the land by deep-tilling the soil to loosen up the ground. We also use a variety of methods to break up the dirt clods that allow for good air circulation, drainage and uniform seed germination when the seed begins to sprout/grow. Our mechanical planters break down the clods and form even, square beds. Uniformity is key to growing a nice quality crop.

Some crops, such as cauliflower and celery are germinated in greenhouses and transplanted. Most other seeds are directly planted into the even beds. These seeds are evenly spaced to allow optimal growing space and even light.
