APRIL 1:

​

Since our last update many changes. Our second crop of geraniums (over 7,500) are now secure in their pots and getting their roots set. Coleus and 'Non-Stop' tuberous begonias are off and running.

 Bedding-plant flats of petunias,  marigolds, wax begonias, lobelia and cosmos are started with allysum, salvia in the queue!

​​

We had an addition to our line of grapes with 'Interlaken', 'Vitis' and 'Canadice' 

​

Our spring 'Tropicals' have arrived from Monrovia with one, two and even 5 gallon, staked Mandevilla, Star Jasmine,  and an assortment of Tropical Hibiscus ('Brilliant', 'Cherie', 'Heat Flash', 'Jazzy Jewel' Amber and Opal)

 

The first crop of tomato starts has been planted.

 

Perennials are gathering momentum as deliveries are arriving several times each week as the inventory continues to grow. Huechera, creeping phlox, sedums, creeping thyme, aubrieta, iberis, lithadora, dianthus and various other ground-covers on site. Things are heating up inside (and slightly outside).

​

Wow! Soo much inventory in the nursery area has arrived. We are, perhaps more stocked with nursery inventory than ever before. Virtually every kind of hydrangea is currently available. Roses, grasses, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, lilacs, hostas, raspberrys, blueberries, red and black Currents, peonies, daylillies, coneflower, grapes, boxwood, potentilla, groundcovers, hardy hibiscus, lavender, rose trees, hydrangea trees, crape myrtle trees, Japanese Maples, dogwoods...you get the idea.

​

Inside, geraniums are popping, color is everywhere! Baskets are in full color and ready to go. Veggie starts are well-established. And we are absolutley LOADED with that tremendous sweet potato vine! And with the long-range forecast being in the 70's for highs and upper 40's to low 50's for lows...that'll take us nearly to the traditional "frost-free" date for the Spokane area where we can collectively declare victory over Mr. Jack Frost!

Early next week more goodies from Monrovia (roses, hydrangea, Japanese maples etc.)

We're continually bringing in nursery and perennial inventory (3 times per week) and we can also try to track down what you're looking for on some shrubery and perennial special orders!
