Here we are - laying more rows of white plastic, for summer crops ready to go in the ground. In the spring, we lay rows of black plastic, because the dark color absorbs the sun, warms the ground underneath and protects plants on cold nights. For all the opposite reasons, we lay white plastic for our summer crops - because it reflects the intense summer sun and keeps the plants a little cooler! 😮 But this year, we are covering more plant rows with plastic - because we are dangerously low on water sources - our ponds are already down 60-70% in June and we still have 5 months of growing season! By laying plastic with drip tape underneath, we can conserve water - the plastic keeps the water from evaporating into the air so we use less water to irrigate the crops! Late summer crops are going to be in a lot of trouble if we don’t start gaining ground on our average rain fall totals! 🧑‍🌾 🚜

We still have a great selection on 4” annuals - that can be grouped to make some colorful eye-catching patio planters! Try this sun-loving combination of lantana in the back for height, sunpatiens in the center for a “filler” and scaevola in the front to spill out of your planter! 😍. Use the “thriller / filler / spiller” planting rule and enjoy an unlimited number of combinations - all for fantastic “end of season” prices!! 🌺 🌼
