Mountain Laurels, Rhododendron, Azaleas, Enkianthus and Blueberries are all of the same ericaceous family that we grow right at the nursery in Norton!
I’ve been hooked on rhododendrons since I’ve been 12 years old when I remember seeing in
I think our perennial plant varieties expanded by at least another 30-40 varieties in addition to our standard fare.
In our annual greenhouses, hanging baskets, combination pots, flats of flowers and heirloom vegetable plants abound.
I can’t quite figure it out but spring has a certain smell that excites the mind even if one were unable to see all its radiance of color and life.
When you plant your heat loving plants such as tomatoes and peppers in your garden, I want you to try a newer product called Preen Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer as it definitely helps with those pesky weeds. Make no mistake, this is not the regular Preen that I have advised you to use in your landscape and around annual flowers but a Preen product that is made with corn gluten!
Organic and safe, this vegetable garden Preen prevents weeds in your garden by inhibiting the root development of a germinating weed seed - the little devils just don’t have a chance!
Not only do we market things like organic Preen but we have organic insecticides that will kill aphids, spider mites, thrips and well, you get the picture. Don’t forget to do a second spray of the organic Spinosad on the trunks and lower branches of your more mature rhododendron and dogwoods to kill the borers trying to eat the live bark of your treasured plants. A third spray at the end of May is all you should need to finish up.
It’s time to start working hard in the garden so get off your computer and get going!
