The Time For Planting Is Here!

Planting time is here and we at Lynde Greenhouse have a huge variety to choose from.

The annual flowers are blooming and are something most gardens can't be without. They provide color all season long in both garden beds, hanging baskets and pots.

The perennials are plants that come back year after year. There have been those few that are not doing that this year as I myself am experiencing to my dismay. Daylilies, Peony, Iris, Hostas, Astillbe, Coreopsis and the list goes on are classified as perennials. These plants, although they do not bloom as long as the annuals do, come back each year. Mixing seasonal perennials (those that bloom in spring, summer fall) with annuals are a very popular trend for successful bed gardening.

The trees and shrub planting time is here and we have an array of them to fill your yard with. We also have Fruits to fill your yard; Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Grapes, Currant, Gooseberries and Serviceberry. Also 5 varieties of apples to choose from (Honeycrisp, Sweet 16, So Sweet, Harolred and Fireside). Northstar Cherry and Mt Royal Plum, 2 varieties of Pears too.

Lots to choose from. Please stop on in and check us out. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask.

Plant now for long term enjoyment.

Spring is Almost Here!

Hey! I thought this was May. It was snowing on my way into work this morning. As much as we are all antsy for nice weather, we really need to be patient this year. As much as I want stuff out of the greenhouse so I can space other plants, the weather is not cooperating. The last thing you want to do is take a plant out of a 70 degree enviorment and put it right out side with 40 degrees and wind. Not a good combination. Yes, this year is a little colder than usual but for the most part it is closer to how are Springs are. So don't rush into putting plants out just yet, especially tropicals. Hold off on your veggie gardens also, unless youre doing cold crops. The tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants will not be happy with you. Remember the old saying, "do as I say not as I do." Even I'm not doing any planting right now or any big pots just yet. I may seriously wait till the end of the month. At least till the night temps stay in the 50-60s and the day temps stay above 60. Other than that the plants look awesome this year and they'll be here waiting for you when the weather warms up.

Perennials, Trees and Shrubs.

We have the plants for you to plant. Now if only the weather would settle down and warm up and stay nice it would make for a fun day of planting.


The perennials are popping and so are the shrubs and trees. My Magnolia Tree is just starting to get color. Looks like cotton balls on thems so my granddaughter says. I feel the weather has not been the best for the buds of fresh new plants and be careful when planting of them. Tonight and tomorrow look like to be the nights we will have to watch and then after will be ok to plant for the perennials. The trees and shrubs are ok to plant now and will be happy to be in your new home.
