Garden Day

Decided to go for an instant garden under the Trillium Hill sign so I asked David for some hanging baskets to use.

Fortunately, he let me pick my favourite hanging basket, the Scaevola.  It comes in three colours and the baskets I chose have all three.  It does better in a basket because the branches hang down.  Loves sun and blooms all season.

But we'll see how it does on the ground as my garden fills in!

The truckloads continue to arrive.

But the supply is limited.  Greenhouses have been hit with a perfect storm and David is bringing in lots of product to make sure that the garden centre is well supplied.

There are two major factors impacting garden plants this year.

• the first happened in recent years when a lot of the bigger greenhouses were repurposed to grow Cannabis, reducing the capacity for flowers and vegetables.
• then, when David's Easter catastrophe occurred, he had a major decision to make, not knowing what the near future would bring.  Since he had already paid for the plant plugs, soil and containers he made the gutsy decision to plow ahead and incur the labour costs as well.  A gamble that has fortunately paid off, because some other growers panicked and threw out their plant plugs.  They now have empty greenhouses!

Because people can't do much else, gardening is booming and the supply is limited.  Result - high demand, and pricing will remain strong.

But, your favourite garden centre and its contrarian owner will be there for you!

Stay safe.  Stay well.
