Happy Spring!!
     We have all survived a long, cold, snowy, dreary winter. But at last a much awaited Spring has arrived., and we are all very happy and anxious to get into our gardens and get growing.  We have grown a great selection of vegetable plants and herbs from traditional basil and parsley to more unusual herbs like lemon grass, orange mint, bay and horseradish. We’ve  also grown your  old favorites and  new surprises to  add beauty, function and practicality to your yard .  You can have an exciting garden, window box, or patio planter that not has beauty and curb appeal but has function and sustainability as well.  The new Homeslice tomato is a full tomato with great flavor that is meant to be grown in a pot.  Add some nasturtiums for color and taste, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Purple Basil, and some variegated thyme, or mint.  You have a gorgeous planter that is ready to eat!  We also have new color for your pots and window boxes with the Velvet Skirt trailing petunia.

The Benefits of Companion Planting—–
  •  Do not plant  tomatoes next to your eggplant.  Your tomatoes will steal the nutrients from  the eggplant  and they won’t thrive.
  • Plant  mints, sage  or lemon balm next to lettuce to repel aphids
  •  Borage is the magic bullet of companion planting, it repels insects and   aids plants.
  • Plant chives around roses to prevent aphids. 
  • Plant marigolds around your garden.  They are a wonder drug of the companion plant world.  Hence the saying  “Plant them in every garden”.  Their roots produce a natural pesticide chemical.
Its no surprise that many of us have spring Fever after the long cold winter, but planting seedlings too early can do more than than good.  Planting early cold crops by seed now would be ideal.  Seeds such as lettuce, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and cauliflower are some examples of early crops that would benefit from starting by seed now.  This way they will be up and after acclimating them to the outside temperature, can be planted by the end of April.  Seeds such as tomatoes, cukes, peppers and such can't tolerate the cold and will not thrive until the night temperature is a minimum of 55 degrees, otherwise they are prone to disease and will struggle to stay alive.  Plant the warm weather crops in mid April since  planting them too early will cause them to stretch and not have a healthy root system or a sturdy stem.  
         Fertilizer Facts
  There are 3 main ingredients in most fertilizers;  N= nitrogen feeds foliage, P=potassium which produces flowers and fruit. And K= Phosphorus, which keeps plants healthy and strong.
 The saying “if a little is good, more is better”, definitely does not apply to fertilizer. Read the label and apply less than is suggested.  You can always add more but it makes a mess trying to scoop it up.  Never apply fertilizer to a dry plant you will burn the roots.  So water first then fertilize!
