    The weather has certainly been erratic this planting season, but as they say..."If you don't like the weather in Kansas; wait 10 minutes, it will change!". The biggest concern has been our lack of moisture and the lawns in the area are looking very dry, as I write this newsletter, I'm watching the weather to see if we'll receive rain.
    We have a great selection of bedding plants and perennial plants. (Remember, annual plants have 1 growing cycle, perennials return each year from the root stock.) Our newly redesigned perennial area is easy to shop in with the plants on tables so the plant labels are readily accessible and readable.
    We've also received a new shipment of PatioGlo pots. These pots burn a special Biofuel and are for indoor or outdoor use. They make great gifts, I suggest buying one for yourself to enjoy in your outdoor living area this summer, the citronella gel will keep the bugs away!
     Happy Spring!
   
Sincerely,

Sherry Robinson

  The BestTips for Attracting Butterflies!

 

Adding perennial plants to your gardens, purple coneflower (echinacae), Gaillardia, beebalm (mondarda), and oregano are just a few great choices.

 

Annuals like zinnias or lantana are also great choices .

 

Water is also very important. Butterflies like to spend time in areas with moisture (even mud puddles will attract them).

 

Be very careful using insecticides in area you want butterflies!

My May Fertilome Product Pick

 

Fertilome Water Soluble Geranium & Hanging Basket Plant Food  is a great way to keep your baskets and containers blooming all summer long. I recommend using it 1x a week (2x's a week when the temperatures are very high and you are watering heavily.)

Current Soil Temperature...

 

60o    Wow! It's time to plant anything and everything! Newly seeded lawns should really respond and all garden crops are ready to be planted.

    It is now too late to apply grass & weed preventers as the seed will have germinated. Grassy weeds can be controlled with High Yield Grass KIller. This is considered a SELECTIVE herbicide as it kills only grassy weeds.  It works great in perennial gardens, it will kill grass without killing desirable plants such as iris, ect...
