Edible Garden

Tomatoes & Cool Weather Herbs/Veg

Spring is just around the corner so it’s time to start planning ahead for your tomatoes and cool weather vegetables and herbs! We have a few varieties of tomato starts already available in the greenhouse behind annuals and will be receiving more come February. We also currently have veggies & herbs galore that would be perfect for your new garden–cabbage, kale, Swiss chard, and arugula just to name a few–as well as an assortment of herbs & pest-repelling plants like catmint, lavender, and rosemary!

Don’t forget to RSVP for this Saturday’s (the 19th) Green Thumb Gardening class at 10 AM to gain a better insight into gardening the right way & gain confidence while your’re at it! RSVP here.

Fruits & Flowers

Fruit & Flowering Trees, Shrubs, & Roses

It’s a time for planting in the nursery. Though we still have the potential for cold snaps throughout the next month or two, you can still start getting your Spring garden ready and what better way than getting your woody plants established early on!
Between citrus, stone fruit, and shrubby berries your full edible garden is well on its way to providing you with fresh produce for years to come.
If more formal gardens are what you like, we have plenty of roses and flowering ornamental trees that look and smell divine that are ready to be planted now!
But if that’s still not your cup of tea, we do have plenty of native shrubs and trees to choose from that are sure to spice things up for Spring once it arrives.
The point is, planting now can help get your garden started and let the big plants find their footing in time for the warmer weather and bright colors that are soon to brighten up the Houston area!

Edible Containers

Grow Your Own Food

Whether you plant your own herbs & veggies in a window box or in a raised bed, growing your own can save you from all those trips to grocery store when you have what you need at your fingertips. January and February are a great time to sow artichokes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, loose-leaf lettuce, Asian greens, cabbage, carrots, onions, parsnips and turnips–sounds like a yummy salad to me!

Remember to water wisely so as not to over-water or simply waste water and pull out old or diseased plants; they attract insects and disease.
