Planting Perennials
Now is the time to plant summer perennials. We have a huge selection in six packs, 5 inch as well as 4-inch containers. These include; Shasta daisies, gaillardia, yarrow, salvia, Santa Barbara daisies, blue fescue, coral bells, candy tuft, carnations, foxglove, delphinium and larkspur, to name a few. Please be sure to fertilize and amend the soil when you plant to ensure your young plants a good start. We carry a great variety of fertilizers and soil amendments for every type of plant including Fox Farm Organics and Kellogg Soil Building Compost.
Tomatoes & Vegetables
We have a large selection of heirloom and hybrid tomatoes this year. Watch for our 1 gallon Ace tomatoes coming April 15th for the sale price of $3.49! It is safe to plant inland now as well, so come now while we have so many in stock. You can still plant summer vegetables and we have them in 4-inch pots, 4-packs and 6-packs. Some examples are; zucchini squash, crookneck squash, beets, onions, cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, snow peas, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and much, much more!
Plant Wisteria
Wisteria needs to be planted in full sun with a strong support system. Water and fertilize often for a year or two or until well established, and then enjoy it’s drought resistance. The blooms of the wisteria are among the most romantic of flowers in color, shape and fragrance. Come in and see our selection before they are all sold out.
Choose Hydrangea
We have a fabulous selection of hydrangeas in spring. Come in early for the largest variety. Hydrangeas need to be planted in the ground with an acidic soil mix (Kellogg’s Azalea Planting Mix), or mix one part your native soil with 2 parts premoistened peat moss. Mulch with redwood bark and maintain the proper pH with aluminum sulfate or a pH adjuster. This should be done at least three times a year. These products are all available at Miner’s; just ask one of our sales staff for assistance.
