Greetings! 
   
Young costume parade winner
It's a great time to plan your vegetable and flower gardens.  A good plan helps planting go much smoother.  A great place to start is by attending our Vegetable Gardening Seminar, Saturday, April 3rd., at 2 pm. Bring your friends and questions.  
 
The greenhouse is filling fast. Stop in, take in the sights and smells of spring and check out what's new for spring. 
 
You will find fun, new whimsical lawn ornaments,  rememberance rocks, and bird baths in the garden center, with more items arriving daily. 
 
The gift shop is full of beautiful new spring permanent arrangements, Easter lilies, hydrangeas, and special fresh cut arrangements just in time for Easter, April 4th. 
 
Happy gardening,
Vicky
5 Easy Steps to a Beautiful Spring 
 
1. Add spring color to your landscape -   Plant pansies, violas, and hardy spring blooming annuals in your flower beds and pots on your porch, deck and patio.  They are a very cheery site to see while you are waiting for you perennials and flowering shrubs to emerge and the planting of tender annuals. 
 
2.Get your lawn off to a great start -  Now is the time to get your lawn ready for the hot summer months to come. 
  • Start with a good clean up.  Rake up any leaves and debris remaining from fall.  If the grass is matted down from the winter snow, rake to fluff and separate the grass blades. 
  • Mow the lawn shorter then normal to remove any dead grass and let the sun in to warm the soil.  
  • Apply Natural Guard Soil Activator (humates) to feed the soil and Fert-i-lome Pro Green to feed the grass.  
 
3. 
Get your perennials ready -  Cut back the dead growth remaining on your perennial flowers and grasses from last fall before the new growth appears. This is a good time to divide, seperate, and transplant any perennials that have become overgrown.
 
4. Plant trees -  Now is a great time to plant trees; flowering, shade, and fruit. 
 
It takes only a little more time and effort to plant a tree properly than it does to merely dig the proper size hole, plop in the tree and backfill. The few extra minutes it takes to properly select, locate and plant a tree will make a big difference in its ability to thrive and live to its optimum age. Proper selection, location, and planting reduce the likelihood that the tree will be affected by disease or outgrow its home. It means that the tree will most likely provide beauty, require less maintenance, add to your enjoyment, the value of your property, and save you money in the long run.
 
When planting a tree use root stimulating fertilizer, mycurizia, and compost to get it off to a great start.
 
5. Stop weeds before they start - I'm all for making gardening easier and more enjoyable. The one thing I don't enjoy is seeing weeds growing in my flower beds and garden or the time it takes to eliminate them. By doing a few steps now, you can avoid the hard work of trying to keep those weeds under control later.
 
  • Pre-emergent herbicides stop weed seeds from germinating and grasses from sprouting. They eliminate a lot of the weed problems before they begin and they last all season long. The important part is to get them on before the weeds start to grow. They will not do anything to existing weeds.
  • Post-emergent herbicides kill weeds and grasses that are already growing. Now you can buy a combination of post-emergent and pre-emergent herbicides that will kill what is growing and keep it from coming back for one year.
