Planting season is here.

Hello from the store and shrub lot. We have been busy getting things ready for you! A great Arbor Day week of tree sales went well. This week the Evergreens are all on sale, so stop in for great sales. We are offering something new this year with Weekly Specials and Tuesday ONLY sales. It is going great! With the rain we just received, it is greening up and plants are starting to show color. Remember to water the evergreens- hold off on pruning the winter burn that many of the evergreens have experienced this past winter. Wait until the end of May when the new buds will come out and fill in before you know it and any pruning done now will only cause stress to the plants. A dose of Root Stimulator or Fish Emulsion will help those that look a little peeked. Pansies are still the safest plants to go out now but we do have a great selection of lots and lots of other plants in sizes and colors. So stop in and see.

Were busting at the seams! The greenhouses are full, colorful, and inspiring. Everything is lush and full of blooms. Hopefully the weather will start to get warmer and stay that way so everyone can start planting. No more space right now to plant anything else until we start shipping it out. Now its keeping things alive and healthy. Best of luck to a great gardening season.

Hopefully this nice weather were having is here to stay. Lets keep our fingers crossed. The plants are busting at the seems in the greenhouse. Everything is looking awesome. Still planting lots of 306 packs and 1204 packs of annuals. So far our Lynde Design combo planters are looking great this season. I just hope we can move them out quickly before they need a hair cut. This warmer weather means more watering for me. Would be nice to get 1-2 days of cloudy so I can get some plant maintenance done. There is always more than just watering and keeping the plants alive. Well back to the grind. Stop on out and start planning your gardening and wishing you all good success this gardening season.

The trees and shrubs are here!!!!!

The nursery lot is now filled with wonderful plants. With a total of 5 different deliveries the nursery lot is full. Come and look and shop. They are all ready to go into your yard and make it look great. Perennials are on the slower side and will not be out for a few weeks. We are caring a large selection of tree, ornamental as well as shade and evergreens in a array of sizes. Lots of new types as well. I am real happy with all we have and am sure you will be to. The store is filling up too with so many new and regular product. It really is spring here. Come and see, buy and PLANT. We have a great gang too with loads of knowledge. See you soon.

Enough of this snow! Is it not Spring already. Well alot has been going on these past few weeks. We have our 1st Lynde Design combos done and ready to plant and the 2nd planting will be done this week. Things are sure on their way in the greenhouse. Now if the temps would warm up we could start moving the product. I've been watering and pinching and maintaining the plant material so all is grand when you walk through the doors. Easter Lilies are blooming and Spring is definitely in the greenhouse if not outside. The Garden Center is now open, so pop on in and get inspired while waiting for the weather to cooporate. Everything is alive and growing for the 2009 Spring season at Lynde. When you do start to plant this Spring be sure to acclimate the plants to the outside weather for a few days. Remember they've been in a 70 degree greenhouse with no wind to burn them or bruse them. Like us, they don't like going out into cool temps and wind with out getting hardened off. Also keep in mind to pinch of the buds of any flowers that you plant so that the energy goes into the roots and not the flowers. That will help them get established much more quickly. And as much as I know you all want to get yard work started...don't! The grass in not growing yet and the ground temps are still cold. You could do more damage to your yard if you start raking it to early. The root system can get pulled out and damaged from raking to early, especially with using a metal rake. Just be patient a little longer. Just because it's Spring doesn't mean the weather says it is. Time to get back to my babies...until next time.
