It is Fall Planting Time

Did you know that Fall is the very best time to plant new beds &/or plants?

It gives the plants time to get established before they have to produce blooms.

They will be growing roots all winter long during the cold months of winter

This means that when spring comes they are ready to grow on the top too.

Which means blooms on the first year rather than the next.

Be sure to fertilize for the winter months with a fertilizer that feeds the root growth

It is also important to water during the winter months during dry spells

We do alot of flower bed cleaning in the fall

It is a great time to see something at full size that needs to be moved to a different spot

The cool weather helps to keep the plant from going into too much shock

which is what kills many plants that are moved

We have lots of new plants in the greenhouse right now

We also have a nice supply of deer corn

There isn't any reason your flower beds can't be beautiful all winter if you desire.

We have a huge shipment of pansies, and other winter time annuals

Be sure to stop by and see our new shipments

We also offer planting services

and we build ponds and water features

Fall is an excellent time to get a new water feature for your garden

It gives the water feature time to get established so it can be beautiful in the Spring

Remember to not throw out your leaves this fall

When they are chopped up they make excellent winter mulch that will feed your soil and protect your plants this winter

Need help planning your garden or with your other garden needs? We would love to help you with those.

We hope you will remember all our awesome gift items as well

See you around
