Happy May, Hard to believe that this is the May long weekend. I think we're all waiting for the warmer weather. Which seem to be coming.... at least for a while. We have the second full moon coming up on May 30th so I won't be planning to plant frost tender plants till after that. Super good time to get onions, cabbage, broccoli, leeks, salad plants into the ground. As well seeding peas, spinach, arugula, mustard greens, beets, carrots and radish seed planted.
That being said we have a good selection of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and some cucumber seedlings (frost tender) available this week and will have so many more for next week.
Also frost tender we have beautiful flower planters, urn liners and some hanging baskets to tempt you as well.
The arugula is so happy we have an abundance and want to share that with you. Again this week the bags will be 100 g more for the same price.
So excited to see all the beautiful fruit shrubs (cherry, raspberry, blueberry, grape, elderberry, gooseberry), fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, cherry). So excited to have special 4 on 1 trees, which produce 4 different varieties (of the same fruit) on one tree! So with one tree it is self pollinating, you get different varieties and they are spread out over a longer period of time. Great for small spaces!
the Garden Center is coming together, with Aimers organic seeds (vegetables & herbs), OSC assorted Flower seeds. Beautiful pansy bowls, Herb medley bowls, broccoli, onion, so many cool season veggies to plant now.
Garden Center Open Thurs. - Fri. - Sat. 9am - 4pm
