Every spring, since 1975, the DeBaggio family has grown the highest quality herb, vegetable, and ornamental plants for customers in the Northern Virginia Area.
Operating as usual
I have quite a few pieces of my mother’s original artwork. She was an artist at the Torpedo Factory for a number of years. Unfortunately, we can’t take all of them with us. I’d like to sell as many of the other pieces as possible, but I’m listing these to see if there is any interest.
Edit: Lots of responses-So incredible! To claim a specific piece, comment on the individual photo. First come, first served.
Thank you so much to everyone for all the support, both recently and through the last 45 years. All the positive comments during the two “end of an era” sales have really been heart warming. I am so glad to have been able to say goodbye, in person, to so many of you. I feel kind of silly for worrying during the pre-season if anyone would show up the following spring. Although that fear dissipated quite a bit over recent years, it was still there, just beneath the surface. The outpouring of support has really made the whole transition a little bit easier for us. Thank you all, again.

Thank you! The clearance/liquidation sale was a success. Everyone should have received a confirmation of their order and a time slot assignment. We finally finished processing and double checking all of them and I sent out time slots this evening. Please check junk mail if you haven’t received yours. Some email hosts bounced back one of the the notifications but not the other. And some were bounced back but obviously went through because I received a response to the confirmation anyway. So... I hope everyone got their slot assignments and are able to get here within the hour assigned as close as possible. I know it was a bit of a wonky way to do it. But we have never done anything like this before and weren’t sure what to expect or how to really give you a choice of time up front. With no way of knowing how large or small or complex each order might be, there was really no way to know how many pick ups per hour we could handle. So, we simply pulled all the orders, in order received, and divided them more or less evenly by hour. I didn’t anticipate that almost everyone would choose Friday as their first choice for pick up! I think we were able to accommodate nearly all first choices. There were a few that came in without any choices-despite my feeble attempt to enforce that those choices be made.(I have figured out a much more elegant way after the fact). So those few were our choice-sorry.
Thank you all so much for the kind words and memories.

For those of you wanting info on where to get herbs and veggies: Unfortunately, I never had the time to explore other local nursery spring offerings. Check out Washington consumer checkbook’s rating of local nurseries. It will at least make you aware of some other options to follow up on. If you are inclined to start your own from seed, go to www.debaggioherbs.com and look up your favorite varieties. If it was grown from seed, and commercially available, I have added a link to that company’s website.

Thank you to everyone for all the support through the years. The Spring 2019 season marked the 45th anniversary of the founding of DeBaggio Herbs. It also marks the end. Tammy and I have decided to close the nursery, sell the farm, and begin a new challenge. Undoubtedly, this comes as shock and will disappoint many. Thousands of you depended on us as a reliable source of quality plants every Spring. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to have a final farewell season.
Despite business being strong, I knew there would come a time when we might want to retire from the nursery business and do something else. With no clear idea of what that might be, and because small, family-owned nurseries such as ours are increasingly rare, we soldiered on. However, I didn’t want to be forced to retire due to an illness or some circumstance beyond my control. I believed a developer would eventually make us an offer we could not refuse. Because such deals take a few years to close, I was confident that there would be time to celebrate and say goodbye to all our loyal customers with a farewell season. It didn’t turn out the way I imagined. https://www.debaggioherbs.com#read_more
This catalog lists most of the varieties I am growing or plan to grow, however, it is not possible to list everything. Some plants are tricky to propagate; others are too new for me to describe in any detail. Demand for certain varieties is sometimes greater than I anticipated and we run out. Usuall...

The news is a reminder that we have the power to do things directly to mitigate this distressing loss.
Today’s Harvest! Cucumbers have been going crazy-over 50 harvested so far (5 plants;3 varieties) from a mid-June planting. 4 zucchini plants have yielded a couple of dozen fruit-some of them monsters. They seem to double in size in 2-3 days.
Yay! Despite groundhog issues, a small, early harvest has begun from the garden planted June 22nd.
Thanks for another great season! Happy growing!
It pays to be vigilant!

Zucchini/squash flowers showing the difference between male (pollen producer) and female (fruit producer). It is not uncommon for the first flush of flowers to be nearly all male. Don’t be discouraged, female flowers will appear. Once successfully pollinated, the fruit will continue to grow. If the female flower doesn’t get pollinated, the tiny young fruit will simply shrivel up and fall off the plant. More male and female flowers will be produced at the same time. If you lack sufficient pollinators, you can transfer the pollen from a male flower to a female flower using a small paint brush or q-tip.
Lots of beautiful annuals and perennials ready to liven up your garden. We still have over 100 varieties of tomatoes as well as peppers, eggplant, okra, cucumbers, and zucchini.
The greenhouse is overflowing with beautiful herbs, veggies,annuals, and perennials. We are open all weekend and through the month of June!
