It is not too late to plant

Many people have the mentality that it is too late to plant flowers and vegetables after Memorial Day. I think this is a relic from the old "dig and wrap" days when plants were sold bare root and were at risk of perishing when the temperatures got hot. Nowadays that is not the case as the roots are all contained in containers or cells and are ready to burst forth with the application of a little water and fertilizer. At Wilson's Garden Center we are stocked with gorgeous healthy plants ready to perform for you. Flowers planted now will look as established as the earlier planted flowers within 3 weeks. We continue to plant in our display gardens as we know that these plants will be gorgeous all summer. By the way, come on by and take a look at our gardens. They are in tip top shape. There are many new varieties for you to check out that you may want to have in your own gardens. It pays to look at these gardens several times throughout the summer and fall to see how these flowers hold up under the summer heat. Anyway, keep gardening.
