What we have here at Becky's Greenhouse!

Here we go, another awesome spring day.  Blue sky with fluffy clouds, temperature at 71 at 10:00 AM…. We have plants.  We are working on getting some of each kind out on the racks but haven’t gotten there yet.  When you come, know that you must come into the greenhouse to see all of it.  Outside, inside, on wagons, on tall racks.  Remember the perennials and some of the annuals I have gotten from Swift’s Greenhouse, but all the rest has been grown out of this greenhouse. 

Swift’s greenhouse dropped off 2 carts of plants mostly perennials that I didn’t have.    The question for me is where will I put them?  We will find a place.

Memorial planters are being planted as I write this.  Starting at a little small oval for $8.50 up to the big ovals.   We will have 4 different sizes with different prices for them.  We have many one quart pots of annuals starting at $6.00 for another idea for the cemetery.

Vegetables are ready for you.  Tomatoes and peppers ready to go into your garden.  You are going to ask about cucumber, squash, watermelon plants.  We are growing some but just coming up.  One reason is I don’t want you to plant till the  first of June.  Reason why the vine plants don’t like cool nights, then they will be attack by bugs as they don’t grow very well.  After June 1, the soil, the air temperature is warmer and they will do right well.  I have had some tell me they had to replant all ready because the vine plants( cucumbers, squash, watermelon) didn’t come up.  I have been hearing some potatoes too.  Not too late to plant them either with the onions.

Baskets are still in the greenhouse ready for you to take home. Trees, shrubs are here.  Herbs are on the 2nd wagon ready for you.  Succulents we have marked are $1.00 or $2.00 more marking will happen with more succulents to be put out.  Geraniums, vinca vine, spikes, colored grass for the spiller, filler and thriller.

Proven winners’ selection of our top one being the Supertunia bubble gum.  Also have 3 other colors of them.  Wave petunias are very colorful and in a super 4 pack.  Lots of annuals as bedding plants in the 4 packs.  If you buy 12 -small 4 packs then you get the flat for a special price, like getting 2 packs free.  48 plants all together. 

Nice little selection of houseplants and ferns.  They are in the growing stage as planted in a 4 ½” pot so reasonable priced for you to grow.  Carnivorous plants were planted in sphagnum peat moss so hopefully they will grow well.  You need to keep them well watered. 
I did order some asparagus crowns so have them here for you to plant.  I have glad bulbs for you to plant.  How about Kale?  Small colored peppers?  Air plants will be here on Wed. 
​
All this counts as towards your punch card.  For every $100.00 you get $7.50 off plants.  Many of you are doing this. 
Hours Monday thru Saturday 9-6, Sunday 1-6. So stop and see us at Becky’s Greenhouse.
