Hello Friends,

       We have had an abnormally dry spring. This is concerning as summer begins and there is a potential for hot, dry weather to cause severe drought conditions. Remember to check your plants regularly, and water them anytime the soil is dry. Plants, shrubs and trees that are planted in the ground can be checked every two or three days and watered when the soil at the base of the plant is dry. Containers and baskets can be checked daily and watered anytime the soil is dry. Containers dry out quickly and need to be watered more frequently. You may even need to water hanging baskets and smaller containers twice a day during extreme heat. Check the soil with your finger and water if it is dry about an inch down. See the articles in this newsletter for more watering tips. 

       If you still need to get some gardens planted or have open spots to fill in, we have a good selection of plants of all types. Stop by and get all you need to fill up your gardens and landscape. Hosting a gathering or party soon? Plants make great decorations for this. We can help you with ideas, and we can even deliver plants or floral arrangements to you! Create your favorite outdoor summer spaces with plants, furniture, fire pits, décor, fountains and more available in our garden center.
