This is a reminder NOW is the time to start planting trees , shrubs , perennials, etc ( no pun intended ) cooler weather insures root growth . I have people all the time coming in May for rhubarb, asparagus and berries then wonder why they don’t grow well for them NOW is the time. We normally have rain at this time of year of course we never know but in this part of country spring is better than fall because of our rain chances. Been gardening in Arkansas for over 48 years and pretty well know what does and what doesn’t do well here. Fortunately I don’t have a deer problem you would think the nursery would be their buffet but not a one has bothered to visit and it’s not that I don’t have them counted 17 in my back fields probably gorging themselves on the numerous Pawpas I have in woods because I never get a one😠 . Have some really nice dogwoods white 5-6 foot well branched some blooming for 69.95 Plant now
Many other perennials are starting to look good again after that freeze last week. Hope you can come out Easter week Nunns orchids should be in full bloom . It’s quite a site .
