What could be
better than the taste of a fresh vegetable
picked right from the garden?
This week, we are
all about Veggies. Are you an old pro? You
will appreciate our wonderful selection of Tomatoes, Peppers, and
Lettuces. Been a while
since you planted a garden? let us help you learn to utilize some
great labor-saving and space-saving tips that will put the fun back into
growing your own fresh food. Never grown a garden?
We can help you get started with a good plan as well as the basic seeds
and plants you need, and the advice and directions you'll need for a
successful garden experience!
Bring
in a simple (or complex if you prefer) drawing of your available garden
space. Graph Paper works very well--you can have each square
represent 6inches, or 1 foot, or 10 feet. Be sure to note North and East,
and any trees, tall fences, or buildings that are within 10 feet of your
garden. Will a water hose reach your garden space? Make a list of the
veggies your family enjoys, and note any that are eaten quite often. We
should be able to give you a good plan for your custom Vegetable Garden!
One of the most
often asked questions is "when is it time to plant
tomatoes?" While many believe planting early is the key to
harvesting early, the extra time spent getting the ground prepared and
protecting the plants from too cool weather is certainly something you
need to keep in mind. In general, waiting until late April or early May to
set out your tomato plants is certainly acceptable, and is preferred for
pepper plants, melons, squashes, and cucumbers--all of which must have
very warm soil temperatures for the best results.
If you are looking for a specific product,
please ask! Sometimes we are able to get or find plants from many sources.
