Check out those leaves!
Planters don't have to be just petunias.... we love how this castor bean is stealing the show in this barrel!
Paired with a couple of canna and some cardinal basil (hint: add a scented plant to *every* planter!), this planter will be overflowing soon!

We still have a few castor bean plants left on the benches!
(don't forget, seeds are toxic if eaten)

We firmly believe that first-tomato-day should be a holiday!

Let tomato season begin!

There are petunias...and then there are Italian Upright Petunias!

Available in purple and pink shades, you won't find these anywhere else!

It's been a tough spring for cucumbers - if you put them out too early the chilly nights may have won!

These QUICK SNACK cucumbers are already cranking out their mini fruit that's perfect for, well, snacking! Thin skin and no bitterness, harvest when 3-5 inches. The more you harvest, the more it will produce!
Compact growth for a cucumber - in a large pot is just fine!

The Better Basil - Lettuce Leaf Basil

Huge leaves and mellow flavor—this is the basil you’ll use every day!

Not just for pesto - these soft leaves are perfect for layering into sandwiches, wrapping around fillings, or tossing into a salad. It’s less intense than Genovese basil, which means it plays well with just about everything!

As with any basil, be sure to pinch when to plant for better growth.

A Must Try - Sprouting Broccoli!

Rather than forming one large head, these plants put out smaller side shoots all season long. The more you harvest, the more they will produce!

Both the green (Happy Rich) and purple (Burgundy) varieties are delicious - sweet, nutty, and mild, without the bitterness you get from broccoli raab.

The leaves taste great too - add them to a salad or saute them like other greens!
Slower to bolt than the usual broccoli, they love this cool weather.
It's the perfect time to get them in the ground - they are on the benches now!

🌱 Plant of the Day - Tithonia (Mexican Torch Flower)

Strong, bright orange/red blooms growing up to 6 ft tall that will fill any sunny spot (or an extra large pot) with color and life from mid summer thru frost!

Why do we grow this? It is a true pollinator magnet (including monarchs), deer resistant, unbothered by pests or disease, fine with non-perfect soil and irregular watering - it is a low-maintenance show stopper!

Available on the benches today!

Well, someone is going to have a dramatic yard! A lucky someone bought *all* the banana trees on the benches today (plus some canna!) but don't worry, we have more in the greenhouse to pull out!

These won't last long at this rate, come and get one while you can!
