2022 Gardening Resolutions
Over the last couple weeks, we have asked for your gardening/outdoor resolutions for 2022. We got a bunch of responses! Let’s take a look at some of them.
Batten Down The Hatches
Change is on the horizon. With winter winds blowing into the region, most of our fall gardening tasks are just about complete. However, here are a few things to consider when battening down the hatches for winter.
Pumpkin Carving Tips
Here at Bob's we offer a wide selection of pumpkins that are perfect for carving. This weekend set some spooky time aside to carve up the creepiest of Halloween decorations. Here are some tips to get the most out of your carving experience.
Apples: Making History Then & Now
The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family (Rosaceae). It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits, and the most widely known of the many members of genus Malus that are used by humans. The tree originated in Western Asia, where its wild ancestor, the Alma, is still found today.
Pansies Ain't No Pansies
To the new gardener, planting pansies now may seem like a futile effort considering that the first frosts of fall are looming on the horizon. Despite their name, pansies are a hardy plant that can thrive in seemingly sub-arctic temperatures. Pansies also have a rich history.
Fall Flower Ideas
With autumn just around the corner, it might seem like the gardening season is coming to an end. However, now is the perfect time to bring a splash of fall color into your landscape to welcome the changing seasons. I know you’ll fall for these plants that are sure to get you thinking about falling leaves, cozy fireplaces, and pumpkin-spiced everything.
