Robran's Greenhouse

Many of you have heard us talk about the Ice Saints in the past. Well, the Ice Days are upon us! It is a good idea to wait to plant tender plants outside until these days are over. They have been very accurate. Of course,with our climate changing, it is still a good idea to watch the forecasts and have covers, just in case. Here is an explanation:
The Ice Saints (Eisheiligen) are a period of cold weather in mid-May associated with the feast days of Saints Mamertus, Pancras, Servatius, and Boniface (May 11-14) and "Cold Sophie" (May 15). This European folklore warns that these days often bring a final late-spring frost, advising gardeners to wait until after this period to plant tender crops.
May 11: St. Mamertus
May 12: St. Pancras
May 13: St. Servatius
May 14: St. Boniface of Tarsus
May 15: Cold Sophie (often considered the last and coldest)

An addendum! I just spoke to Leona, and the YELLOW hanging pansy hanging baskets are also included in the Mother's Day Weekend special - They are $25 instead of $32! Only this weekend (Saturday and Sunday), and only the yellow. BOTH LOCATIONS

Just a FYI! All shade impatiens at Robrans are disease resistant. We have been discouraging the planting of impatiens in the recent past because of a wilt that they were susceptible to. They have developed a disease resistant strain now, and those are what
Robrans sells.

ANNOUNCING A MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL!
We are introducing a new type of pansy - a hanging pansy, so to celebrate, all hanging pansies in 4 1/2" pots will be $2 ON MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND ONLY (starting Saturday)! The vigor of trailing Pansies translates to fewer plants per pot and a spreading habit that will cascade over pots to as much as 30"!
We do carry "regular pansies, they are not on special and are in 3 Paks.

Borrowed this a from Next Door post by Sue Lindbloom...Leona Robran-Her Motto: Making Waterford Beautiful Leona has worked around plants her whole life. She started growing and selling on the Robran Farm in 1957. Leona has 6 greenhouses that are filled every year with all sorts of beautiful plants- starter vegetables, annuals, perennials, succulents and hanging baskets. She sells out of the farm at 7701 Marsh Road but also has a secondary selling place on First Street just before Whitford Park. It's obvious that Leona knows what she's doing ! We also want to thank Leona for providing the good soil mixture in all of the planters that ensures a perfect growing environment . Not only does she excel in her trade, Leona is an extremely hard working and very kind hearted, generous woman who is very involved in her church and community. She is always ready and willing to share her expertise with anyone and is a wealth of information!

We often get questions on the prices of our hanging baskets. The price list says three and four strings. This may be confusing because there are no strings on any of them! The strings refer to the hangars. This is an example of the three and four string hanging basket
