Hello Friends,

       I’m sure most of us are hoping that we have seen the last winter weather event of the season. Only time can tell. Many of us are also ready to get started on our vegetable and flower gardens. However, we can get frost into early May. So, be sure to watch weather forecasts so you will know if your new plantings and tender new spring growth on landscape plantings will need to be protected.

       I wish the luck of the Irish to everyone for St. Patrick’s Day this Thursday! An old saying tells us to plant potatoes on or around St. Patrick’s Day. However, the time to plant depends on the weather and soil temperature, which can be different each year. The best time is when the soil temperature warms to above 45 degrees. So, if you didn’t get your potatoes planted yet, you’re not too late. You can still plant them when the soil is warm and dry enough.

       We continue to get more great shipments of spring plants and items! Plan some time to come by and browse through our departments and see for yourself! It’s a great time of year, and we hope to see you soon!

Keep Growing,

Scott
