So....what to do with the plants you've already planted...while you head for the cottage?
The advantage to planting in tubs and baskets is that you can bring them to someone else's home to enjoy while you're away! Or, if you have room, you can even take some with you. That basket hanging by the front door might look wonderful hanging at the lake too. If there's room to haul the lawn mower, there has to be room to take your flowers too.
For plants that are already in the ground, give them a good soak before you leave and they should be OK till you get back.
We are almost completely sold out of tumbler tomato baskets and the hanging cucumber baskets. They are great to have at the lake or make a great gift to someone who is looking after your plants while you're away.
The 5 gallon potted tomatoes are zzzzooooming out at $9.49 each. They are an ideal gift, great on the balcony for those in apartments/condos, perfect if you intend to be moving or if you are renovating the yard. And although they are not soccer ball, deer or rabbit proof, they can be moved in order to protect them.
Take some of the great grasses along to the lake....no deadheading and they'll survive some neglect if you only get there on weekends.
We are sold out of some things already but still have a great selection for you. If you'd like us to plant your pots for you, bring the pots as soon as you can. We will plant them for you as long as we have plants available, but as my friend Sean the amazing fixer of all time pieces would say, the clock is ticking.
Enjoy this beautiful weather! Keep our "flooded" friends in your prayers.
