Hi out there! We are really sorry we have to shout out to you through a newsletter instead of out the front door. We are chomping at the bit to get going this season, and it’s surely not happening soon enough. I am not even going to say the word that we are all very sick of hearing. This is the situation. We cannot sell anything. We cannot deliver. So the best we an do is compile a list of anyone who wants a delivery or wants to be called just as soon as we can open up. Give... View Article

It’s a glorious day in July and time for a garden chat. We’ve been blessed with lovely, moist growing conditions and things are looking robust. Leaves seem larger than normal, and flowers are bursting forth. Keep your annuals looking their best by giving them weekly doses of liquid plant food such as Jack’s Classic 20-20-20 (which we love) or Miracle Gro. Give your Wave Petunias a light trim, snipping off the ends a tad, to discourage the straggly look in August. That’ll bush them right up! (Just do it – it won’t be painful.) Deadheading keeps the flowers coming. But... View Article
