I have come to the realization that many of the garden centers that are up in the area buy in their plants. We do raise many of the annuals, and most of the vegetables ourselves. So we are not just an independent garden center we are also a grower. I had a customer came in before the open house, say wow did you get all of these in? " No, we grew them." With growing our own plants, we can plant them into whatever we want to grow them in. So with that in mind. I must have miss the memo that many annuals and vegetables are grown in single pots. When it comes to tomatoes, we have them in super 4 pack, and or a super 6 pack. Just means there is more dirt for the tomato to grow in because the pack is bigger, so better to go into the garden for you. If you want single tomatoes, we will sell you single tomatoes. We can do all of this because we grow the plants here.
Don’t let me lead you wrong, we do grow and we buy in the premium annuals that we plant in single pots, but the majority of our annual bedding plants are in packs. When you are in the area looking at other businesses, please have a look at what you find. Look at the size of the container, and how many plants are in them. You will see 4 packs, 3 packs, 2 packs, super 4 packs, super six packs, gallon pots of annuals, along side the single 4” pots of plants. It would be hard as a gardener to decide what to buy, how many of the plants and how much I need to do the gardening I want to do. In upcoming newsletters I will write more about the different varieties of annuals we have. I will be posting the information here as I write it. If you wonder if I have a certain annual, or vegetable just call 641-794-3337 or email me at beckmall@netins.net Till next time, Becky and the small crew
