This is a difficult time for us at Scenic Nursery . The weather is starting to turn to spring like conditions but often there is still cold weather ahead. What to do. Bring in the tender summer flowers and vegetables? People want them, but if it gets cold...

We are bringing in our spring flowers like petunias, alyssum, impatiens, begonias  and marigolds. We are bringing in tomatoes and peppers for those that want a early start on the season. If you want the early start, you need to be ready to protect them at a moments notice. We can get a cold spell up through early April.

We carry Row Cover, a plastic film, that we use to protect out plants during cold weather and if you hear about temps below 32F you want to come n and get some. My  spring flowers afe still doing well, so Donna and I won't be planting much now. I probably will plant some impatiens in our back yard where I didn't plant any winter spring flowers.  because it is protected thy will be safe.  My exposed beds won't be changed until the weather changes. If I had an area that I didn't plant cool season flowers,  I would get prepared to protect them.

In any case there are lots of fun things to see now. spring flowering shrubs and trees, perennials and Annie's Annuals  shipments weekly.

Come on in!!
