Need a big privacy wall, but want it to be colorful?

Check out the Purple Pillar Hibiscus! Hardy against cold illinois winters, these Hibiscus make fantastic privacy hedges. Newer varieties, like Purple Pillar, have been bred to be sterile and not reseed like the older varieties.

Purple Pillar Hibiscus also bloom for a very long time, even into October!

Check out this primrose flower!!

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.

Stop in this week and take a peek at our annual selection for early spring!

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.
