Our cold-tolerant annuals are in and ready! It is still a bit to early to plant them outside, but it is a great time to secure your favorite varieties!
Cold-tolerant annuals, like these, should be planted around early to mid April, depending on the weather.

The Snowfall is coming down and the Snowdrops are coming up!
The Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first spring bulbs that start to pop up each year. They have a small, white, drooping flower, similar the flower to Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis).
Check your yards over the next few weeks to see what starts popping up!

Can potatoes handle being planted near a black walnut?
You know why we love listening to Matt talk about microrrhizae.....??? 'Cause he's a fun-guy..... 😝😝😝🤣
Good morning everyone! (Sorry I missed last week!) - ask me anything while Matt chats - I'm here to help! 🙂
(it's called a dibble...)
Hi sir
I have a lot of black ants living in my 3x10 ft container. How can I get rid of them?
Something safe since I grow potatoes, spinach and other vegetables
I planted potatoes last year for the first time and it was so fun! I used fabric grow bags because I have little sunny garden space so they had to go in the extended driveway! You can grow them in the ground or purchase or build a potato box (or use grow bags). The harvest lasted long and made some amazing meals! If you are curious - just try them!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
The Dutch hoe is hands down my favorite tool - now that I'm getting a bit older (gasp) it is helpful not to be bending over all day weeding. I can whip through all of my gardens quickly and don't feel like I got hit by a truck after! It's one of the only tools that I own and use regularly after all of these years of gardening.
Yaaayyyy, you’re back.
