IN THE GARDENMay is a good time to fertilize warm season lawns like bermuda and centepede. If you didn't get a pre-emergent down, you may want to use Fertilome Weed-Out weed and feed to control the weeds that are coming out now. If its been more than 6 weeks since you applied pre-emergent, you can re-apply that now too. It's still time to get the vegetable garden going. Be sure to add compost like Black Kow cow manure or composted turkey manure, lime and fertilizer to the soil when tilling it up. We still have a great selection of vegetable plants and seeds, collapsable and sturdy tomato cages, and all kinds of garden markers for keeping up with your produce. Don't have room for a big garden? We have Earth Box garden kits perfect for growing fresh veggies right on your own porch or patio. We also carry the re-plant kits if you already have an Earth Box and the tomato cages that fit them. We also have Easy Grow bags for your patio, deck, porch, apartment or condo gardens. **Important News**
If you planted Impatiens last year and they died in June or July, do NOT plant these plants again for at least two years.
Pick up a bucket of Strawberries on Fridays, while they last. Grab a free copy of Triangle Gardener magazine in the store. Remember, we deliver and have bulk mulches, topsoil and organic compost. Plant On!
