Super Bloom

Super Bloom! 55 percent Phosphorus is the key to making your yard a Spring wonderland full of blossoms and blooms! Use this water soluble plant food on whatever blooms to get more flowers and bigger blooms!

Awesome Lawn Fertilizer! Great Green Up!

Looking for a good Lawn Food?? This stuff is great! 22 percent nitrogen and 6% Iron= GREEN! I love it and if you use a lot of Bonus S, try to use this 3-4 times a yr and see if you don't have to use the weed and feed anymore! Green Max can be used carefully under tree and shrub drip lines for green-up and growth on trees and shrubs..... Happy Gardening!

Spring Clean-up

Ahhhh....Spring is here! Hard to believe it but 14 days ago we were freezing and we have had nothing but warm weather since. But the grass is greening up and the birds are coming back. The butterflies are fluttering around and the ants are making mounds....  Yes, that means I must come out of my hibernation and weed-eat the dead overgrowth and mow the Rye grass I put out in December. As I was working out in the yard today I noticed the spider mites had gotten to my plants in the garage. I got all of them outside and sprayed them with insecticidal soap after a good watering. I cut back some of my plants that were damaged from the freeze. They should be okay but you have to get the top stuff off that froze. I have Red Tip Photinia that needed a trimming and Fig Ivy on my house that I shaved down with the hedge trimmers. Next Week: Crepe Myrtles need to be cut back. If you have Roses, you need to prune them. They need a heavy pruning in Feb and Aug. with deadheading through the year. If you have any questions about what to do to get your yard in shape for Spring, just ask! Send me a message..... Happy Gardening!
