Fall – Our favorite time of year!

The leaves are starting to change color and soon the nights will be cooler. This is the perfect time of year to plant your perennials. It is also time to plant your fall vegetable garden. We have just received our shipment of all the fall favorites including pansies and mums. Fall is the time of year to think about fertilizing and seeding the yard too. We have everything that you need for a beautiful lawn.

Due to popular demand we have expanded our home and garden shop. We now carry a wide variety of items perfect for gift giving or home and garden decorating. The fall selection has arrived and includes yard art, indoor décor, fairy lights, baby gifts and cards. Most of these are sourced from local vendors especially our food line.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! According to Blum’s Almanac, January is going to be a wet month, but hang on – Spring is coming. In the meantime you can prepare for it by doing the following:

Start servicing your lawn equipment for spring. Sharpen blades, check tires for wear and air pressure, and of course, oil, plugs and filters.
Make certain that your bulbs have a good mulch cover. Our up-and-down temperatures cause freezing and thawing conditions. Mulch creates insulation to break the cycle.
If you need some inside color, bulbs can still be planted indoors. Paperwhites grow beautifully in a tall vase of rocks and warm water (throw bulbs away after their fragrant blooms fade) – However Amaryllis can be saved after bloom. They will rebloom for years. if stored properly.
And, as always, January is a great time to start seeds indoors. They can be planted in pots, trays or with the sealed-lid method. Just be certain that the seedlings have warmth, light, and moisture. It’s a great entertainment for kids and helps us to pass the extra time indoors.
Main Street will also be reducing inventory so as to make room for new merchandise. Come by and check out our sale items!

Fall is just around the corner

With the onset of cooler days and nights (who knows when that might occur?) – it’s time to:

Rake or blow leaves and recycle them as mulch for your perennial plants and trees.
Create new beds and rearrange or expand the old ones. Spring planting will be less tedious.
Plant bulbs, such as crocus, en mass, for a bigger “show” in the spring.
Consider planting deciduous trees whose leaves will provide fall color next year. Those reds, yellows, and oranges will be beautiful accents to your landscape.
Plant ornamental cabbage, kale, violas and pansies now as they will “settle in” before the cold weather comes along. They should be in the ground at least 6 weeks before the first freeze.
Add mulch or pine needles to beds once the majority of leaves have fallen.

Fall is coming, folks. Have faith!
