vegetables – Lawn and Garden Supplies

In this season the days become shorter, the nights a little cooler and the air crisper. It’s the time of year when THANKFUL is a word we hear a lot. And we are thankful for YOU, our customers. We appreciate you!!

Also at this time of year everyone will be getting ready for changes in the yard and garden. Fall is the perfect time to plant perennials and shrubs. Cooler nights result in important root growth to establish strong, healthy plants. It is time to clean out the remnants of the summer garden and plant cool weather vegetables. Add mums and pansies to your flower beds for fall color after summer blooms are gone.

The yard needs special attention at this time of year. Cooler weather is great for plugging, seeding and fertilizing the yard. We have a wonderful selection of grass seed as well as lime and fertilizer.

And let’s not forget fall decor for inside and outside the house! Stop in an visit us soon.

Gardeners are always busy. The weather is starting to warm and there is much to be done in preparation for the growing season. Now is the time to put out grass seed, fertilizer and lime. We have multiple varieties available depending on your lawn’s specific needs. This is also the time of year to prepare your garden and flowerbeds. Soil needs to be amended before planting with compost, sand or topsoil based on your soil composition and the type of plants you want to grow. Main Street has a wide variety of bagged items by Daddy Pete, Fox Farm and others including soil enhancers, mushroom compost, cow manure, nursery blend and planting mix.

This is a great time to plant your spring garden. Vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, kale and spinach grow well in the cool weather as do herbs like sage, cilantro, parsley, lavender and oregano. Snapdragons, pansies, dianthus and violas also like this weather and will add a pop of color to your beds.

Married with 4 children and 3 grandchildren, she enjoys designing container gardens, photography and painting. She is a great addition to our team. Stop in and see her soon.
