We've had a busy start this spring. New plants are arriving daily to help restore your gardens and landscape. However, there are extreme shortages of many plants this year!
Growers are doing their best to meet the high demand. We are doing our best to locate plants for your home. This has been an unprecedented year so far. Thank you in advance for your
patience and understanding.
Don't hesitate to ask us for an alternative at the Nursery or to be added to the call list when things arrive. You may fall in love with something totally different!

Organic Fertilizers for Cold-damaged Plants |
What can you do to help the cold-damaged plants in your garden? Apply Microlife Ocean Harvest or MicroLife 6.2.4 granular organic fertilizer to offer food your plant can take up as needed.
Do not apply synthetics that can further stress plants.
Medina Soil Activator, Superthrive, and Root & Grow are also recommended.

Lawns are greening up this month and winter weeds are growing as well. When your lawn has grown enough to mow it twice, it is time to fertilize. Mowing weeds doesn't count.
Your options for weed control are to 1) ignore them and keep them mowed low, 2) hand-pull if there are not too many or the area is not too large, or 3) spot treat with a post-emergence organic weed killer.
The best long-term solution is to mow, water, and fertilize properly to build a dense, healthy turf that chokes out most of its weed competition. If your lawn is continually thin and weak, you will find weeds to be an ongoing problem because wherever the sunlight hits the soil, nature plants a weed. Just remember, the best weed control is a dense lawn.
Pick up our guide to organic lawn fertilization, organic herbicides and organic fungicides!
