What a great spring day this was. Sun shining, clear blue sky and extraordinarily little wind. Gardeners were out and about getting their plants. Temperature is 78 at 5:30 PM . Very little humidity so very nice out. Tonight a low of 55 and looks like each day warming up till the weekend it will be close to 90 degrees. Lyle, Ann and I are working hard to get all out from the greenhouse so shopping is easier for you. We have 11 long racks full of plants, from perennials, annuals to vegetables, geraniums, herbs, succulents, and as for succulents we have many to plant yet, so we will not be out for a long time if ever…..We have cactus, and carnivores plants.
Our vine vegetable plants are now ready to go into the garden as it is June 1 but you have till the 15th of June to get them in. It isn’t too late for tomatoes and peppers. Seed potatoes are on sale 5 lbs for 2.50 half price. I am going to plant them yet.
Soil temperature is slowly coming up as the night time temperature but it is a late spring I would call it. Plenty of time for planting your vegetable garden and your flowers.
I didn’t expect frost during the Memorial Day weekend, but it should be good now. We have had some rain and if we get that warm of the sun plants will grow well.
I know I have had concern gardeners here today but a couple of them said what will you do with all these plants? I said I will get rid of them because I will be selling the whole month of June. So that makes you realize we still have lots to chose from and they look great. Open Monday thru Saturday 9-6 Sunday 11-4. Come and see us during this time, because we can help you with your gardening needs.
