Nusery Capital

[Sparx]

I live in the Nusery Capital of the World. I am really good with plants, but new to the garden forum. I just wanted to introduce myself!

Welcoem Sparx. Tell us more about the garden centers/nurserys near you.

 

[sorcerormickey]

Yes, please do tell! We have NO nurseries anywhere near me, so I need to live vicariously thru someone! LOL!

 

[Sparx]

Well, we have more nuserys per person, than anywhere else in the world. I personally don't have one, but I have won home horiticulture awards! (3) We just finished planting our bulbs here. There are alot of different nuserys out side of city limits, maybe two inside. Everyone specializes in some plant or something. I have been to alot of nuserys, doing "window shopping" for my spring garden. We are going to plant on april 5th, we have already started our seeds inside. We are in middle tennessee. And that is pretty much all the vicariousness that I can think of right now. lol

Bulbs already?? Ok, I am jealous.

We are supposed to put in our peas on St Patricks day, but I just don;'t see how the snow is going to let us do that this year. we still have some on the ground and expecting more today and tomorrow.

Well, we personally buy from large places, because we are organic gardeners, and you can make sure it is organic.

I have won several for demostrating transplanting and decorative potting.

I am in Warren County Tennessee, that is the nusery capital.

Welcome Sparx, You live a beautiful state. So green and open.

I'm green with envy on your early planting. We won't be planting early this year. There's still some snow on the ground which is slowly melting. We're getting more later in the week.

It must be wonderful to be able to visit garden center after garden center. Ours are so seasonal that they are limited and far and few between.

Do you enjoy growing veggies most or flowers?

 

[Sparx]

I can grow both, but I am better at flowers. We have a veggie garden too, though.
