Bees a buzzin....Mason Bees are Here!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Greetings Gardeners!

We have finally finished with the nursery cleanup! Each year our team spends weeks working out in the nursery feeding, pruning and cleaning. It's a good thing we LOVE plants! The process seems to go on forever. Now that we are stocked and ready for spring we can receive our giant truck of new trees and shrubs. That will arrive this Friday and I am so excited to see some of the new shrubs that have been introduced this season.

Right now we have a great selection of spring bloomin perennials, hellebores, peonies, pansies, and cool-season veggies. There are some really incredible new peonies that we have never had before....I know I will be adding one to my garden! As usual, we have everything you need to succeed in your flower and veggie garden! We are excited for this amazing spring weather and cannot wait to visit with you.

Mason Bees are here! If your needing pollinators for your home orchard, these guys are for you! See our article at the end of this email for details about how and why we should have our own Mason Bees!

Some upcoming important events! The Lassen County Home & Garden Show is Saturday, April 26th at the Fairgrounds (see below), our Chester Shop opens Saturday, May 10th, and our Mother's Day Muffins & Mimosa's (both shops) is on for Sunday, May 11th. Hope to see you in the garden!

Happy Gardening,

Melissa

Garden To-Do List:

Tired of pulling weeds all summer? Time to mulch. Using a good mulch not only protects your plants against heat stress during the coming warm months, but limits the ability of weed seeds to take hold. A simple layer of 2-3 inches of mulch applied to your gardens will save you around 30% watering. Plus, it looks great! We recommend Gromulch for both planting your trees, shrubs and perennials and also the all important mulching.....

It's time to put out Pest Wizard Codling Moth Traps in your Apple Trees to prevent those pesky Apple worms. Two traps for mature trees is ideal and one for 2-3 year olds. You need them out before the apple tree starts blooming. Now is the perfect time. Preventing worms in your apples is simple and easy. In stock now.

You still have time to do pruning on your fruit trees. Open them up and remove and incorrect angles. Stop by and we can show you how!

Feed your lawn and garden now, your plants need food just like you! We love an all-purpose, pelletized feed that can be used on everything and it's people & pet safe! This organic plant food is balanced and has an N-P-K of 5-5-5. Use Gardner & Bloome Paradise All Purpose Plant Food for all your feed needs. It comes in a convenient 4 lb bag or a big 25lb bag for larger gardens. It's perfect feeding weather right now.

Plant cool-season crops all month! Not sure which are which? Stop by for our free guide to Cool & Warm Season Veggies. It has a handy-dandy icon code to help you quickly navigate spring planting. Remember, your raised beds heat up much quicker than in ground beds. You can get them planted in Mid March. A simple frost blanket can protect these crops easily down to 25 degrees. It's also a perfect time to seed your carrots, beets, greens, radishes and peas. We also have our seed potatoes, onion sets, asparagus and horseradish in stock. Stop by for garden advice.
