Vegetable Gardens Start This Month!
April is a great month to start planting your vegetable garden. We have seeds, seedlings, and four-inch plants to help get you going. Once the danger of frost has passed you can set out tomatoes, eggplant and pepper starts.
As temperatures warm plant watermelon, cucumbers, pumpkins, beans, and more. Melons, cucumbers, basil are very cold sensitive. We have a great selection of tomato cages, organic snail and bug baits, and vegetable fertilizer along with tips for good growing. Stop by and see us soon!
