Time to Build
With fall and winter approaching, now is the perfect time to start planning projects for the otherwise pretty boring gardening season that is winter in our region. So what can you do in the garden during the fall and winter? Aside from organizing tools and tidying up garden beds, you can also build stuff!
HOT Gardening Tips!
The dog days of summer are here, and the region is as hot as the surface of the sun. With daily temperature in the 80s, 90s, or higher, your plants needs some extra care to survive. Follow these basic tips to help your plants beat the heat.
Preventing Blossom End Rot
Blossom-end rot is a serious disorder of tomato, pepper, and eggplant. Growers often are distressed to notice that a dry sunken decay has developed on the blossom end (opposite the stem) of many fruit, especially the first fruit of the season. This nonparasitic disorder can be very damaging, with losses of 50% or more in some years.
Planting Containerized Trees
Here at Bob’s we stock a wide selection of containerized trees. Choosing the right tree for your landscape can be a tough choice. Are you looking for a fruit tree, shade tree, or beautiful blooms? However, once you get your tree home, planting it takes some elbow grease, but the process is quite simple.
Indoor Aquatic Plants
One of the most common problems I see when it comes to growing plants indoors is overwatering. What if there was a way to eliminate this problem entirely? Aquatic plants are impossible to overwater because they grow in water!
Change is Good
Change is good. If you visit our site often, you might’ve noticed a big change. The previous version of the website had been up since 2016, and work started on it a year earlier. Most of us don’t have cell phones that old!
