Spring Time? do WHAT now

Ok, so don't get out there too early.

Well maybe we can get outside, but let's not get too active with the plants.  We can still get a good -15 to -20.  and that doesn't feel good to anything still in your garden.

Go ahead and do some clean up.  Rake those leaves you forgot too in fall.  Turn the compost.  You could turn your annual beds now.  The light snows and mild teperature wont do that any harm.

Start planning if you haven't already.

Look for the new plants.  I like the true Black Petunia's coming out.

plan on going to the Hort show at Spruce Meadows on April 14th and 15th.

Charity - Non Profit stuff

It's almost spring - looking out today, not quite.

We are starting a new offering -

Online Charity Garden Center.

Simply sign up.  and your organization can make money by selling plants.
you put the word out, we grow them, we collect the money and we pay YOU.

Sounds simple? we thought so.

Stampede time

Howdy All,
We have finished our build out at the Stampede. We are part of the group that puts on the Western Oasis.  We supply, setup, and maintain the greenery at the BMO centers' Western Oasis.  Come and have a glass of wine while you watch the sand sculpture of a Buffalo Hunt and a Chuckwagon in full charge!  Or just cruise the the aisles of the Art Displays for your next piece of work to decorate your home.

Full Swing

So, we are into full swing.  Production is winding down for this year and all the product is out and for sale.  New shipments are coming weekly and we are starting to plan for next year already!

What to do . . . let's get on top of those weeds, if you haven't already, a good weeding now should keep you clean till after stampede.  Manual extraction is good as you've grown up with your tools.  Mechanical might be easier on your back, but be sure it does a good job and not just propagating your dandelions.  Chemical . . . well, read your labels and follow them!  Don't over apply, or under, just right is the name of the game here.

Spring, Really here?

Welcome to my first attempt at this blogging thing . . .
So, is it time?  Can we start?
yes, I think we can.  It's been a weird, unexpected spring.  Too wet in April, no sun, then, in May . . . we're in it.  No low temps in sight, nice long sunny days.  I get the feeling Mother Nature is teasing us.  But, I'll take.  There is enough heat around now that I think we can get our projects truly underway.
