With a couple of cold nights coming up and a danger of frost in open rural areas, gardeners will for sure be covering susceptible plants or at least rising early in the morning to soak the plants with water to preserve the plant cells from freezing and bursting.
Tropical plants and hanging baskets should be brought inside as even if they are not coated with frost, the bloom and new growth production could be stunted for a short time.
Almost everything that we could possibly bring out from the growing area in back has now been displayed so that more stock to fill voids must come from Ohio's nursery belt in Lake County.
Some greenhouse product is already running short from vendors and from our own greenhouse. This is surprising especially since the prime planting season has not yet begun.
The evergreen Azaleas are now on the downside as far as bloom in concerned. The Rhododendron and Mountain Laurels now just coming into bloom and taking up the lack caused by the Azaleas.
The Korean Lilacs are coming into bloom with their heavy fragrance that soon will be followed by blooming roses of all kinds and colors.
Next will come the pink and blue tones of the macrophylla hydrangeas to be followed by the white and pink tones of the panicle group.
For the next 2-3 months at least, you could say its nothing but a bloom fest at the nursery!
