Hello Friends,

       Spring officially arrived on Sunday! We are happy to see more customers coming in to pick up early spring items for their lawns and gardens. We are well stocked with early vegetable and flower plants and new nursery and greenhouse shipments are arriving regularly. You can plant cool season flowers and vegetables now! Do you love a fresh healthy salad? Lettuce, greens, onions, spinach, arugula, kale and Swiss chard are all great cool season crops to grow for tasty salads. Broccoli, cauliflower, pak choi, cabbage, and Brussels Sprouts are other great cool season varieties to plant now. Flower Gardeners may be dying to bring some color back in their garden beds and containers. You can get started by planting some pansies, violas, alyssum, dusty miller, dianthus, and snapdragons to create early spring splashes of color.

       Now is the time to apply crabgrass preventer to the lawn - if you will not be sowing grass seed this spring. We have a couple of different options for crabgrass prevention for the DIY-ers. Stop by and let us help you with the option that is best for you. If you want to sow grass seed, we have a great selection of grass seed, fertilizers and straw. Do not use crabgrass preventer or weed killers in areas that you are planting seed. The rule of thumb is to let new grass grow long enough that it has had to have been cut three times before using any weed control on it.
