Garden Moments

Purchase healthy plants suited to the growing conditions in your backyard to insure a great start to a productive and attractive garden.

Look for plants with deep green or appropriately colored leaves, free from brown edges, that indicate moisture stress. Then check along the stems and the undersides of the leaves. Brown spots, holes, bronzing, or speckling indicate insects and diseases are present.

Then lightly brush over the plants. If a cloud of white, fly-like insects appear, white fly is a problem; leave those plants behind. You don’t need to spend money bringing problems into the landscape.

And with transplants, bigger is not always better. Look for nice sturdy, stout plants and see that they haven’t filled up the container with their roots. Pot bound plants don’t recover from transplant shock as readily.

The right purchase is the first start to a beautiful, healthy, and productive garden.
