June 2023

Summer Is Upon Us

June is the perfect time to plant anything and everything! Mild temperatures make transplanting less stressful on all plants including trees and shrubs. Use a root simulator to jump start growth and development and begin to establish a watering schedule!     It is also time to get hanging baskets outside and fill pottery and planters with blooming annuals. Utilize fertilizer high in phosphorus like "Jack’s Blossom Booster” weekly to continue lush blooms and color! And don't forget your veggies & herbs.  June Hours: Monday - Friday 8-6 Saturday 8-5 Sunday 9-4
