Yikes!  Have you seen the price of some of the sprouts and greens in the grocery or health food stores, lately? 

 

With the trend towards eating healthy, growing your own food, and the cooking shows on the Food Network - this is one of the coolest new items I have seen in awhile.  It's a seed sprouter. 

Grow your own sprouts or micro greens (ready to eat in 2-7 days) at a fraction of the price you would pay in a store.  Susan, a garden center employee, has already tried the Mung Bean Sprouts and declared them delicious! She also thinks that the beet and amaranth greens look "super tasty". We have alfalfa, lentil, onion & broccoli sprouts (just to name a few more). 

 
You can add a healthy crunch to your diet while creating delicious recipes for salads, sandwiches, curries, and stir-fries with your homegrown sprouts and greens!  Move over Emeril- bam!

Our landscape design team & professional installation crews can do whatever it takes to complete your landscape job efficiently and beautifully.  I would call them Supermen - able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.  Well...okay maybe they aren't stronger than a locomotive -but they have lifted 12ft -2000 lbs evergreens over a house to finish a hedge in a customer's backyard. 

 
No job is too small or too big. We can remodel an existing landscape or start from scratch on your new home.  From a small perennial garden or front foundation planting to a fire pit or patio, Otten Bros. Landscape Department can help you live the outdoor life you imagine.

Congratulations to Chris G. on winning a $50 Otten Bros. gift card for correctly answering last month's trivia question.  What supposedly was President Thomas Jefferson's favorite vegetable?  Answer: English or garden pea.
 
So, I am still on the presidential kick.  Happy 277th Birthday on February 22nd to our 1st president, George Washington.  We have all heard the tale of young George chopping down the cherry tree and confessing to his crime.  Which brings me to my question; on average, how many cherries does a tart cherry tree produce in a year? (Just think of all the cherries his father wasn't able to harvest.)
