Looks like even the little birds are stocking up for the cold days ahead. All of the feeders in the garden center today looked like the grocery store yesterday, lines a mile long. The mother and father Bluebirds from last year have returned and begun to build their nest. All the other houses in the Garden Center have been rented by the House Sparrows. During the morning hours, you can sit and watch the Bluebirds and Sparrows fight for spots in all the baths, it's very peaceful.

Potatoes - Demo Garden
On Friday, February 4th, our "Red Pontiac" potatoes went into the ground.
Our demonstration garden is a 4' X 9' Cedar raised bed with a 4' X 4' Poly raised bed at one end. The potato planter in the middle is made from scrap lumber and will be built up as the potatoes grow. The handout for the design and instructions are available at the front counter. The claim is to grow "100 Pounds of Potatoes in 4 Square Feet!" We are looking forward to the yummy harvest.Red Pontiac, Yukon Gold, and Russet Seed Potatoes are available in 5lb bags right now. ($9.99/bag)
Red, Yellow and Sweet Onions in 60 and 100 count bags - $3.99/bag.
Can you taste the potato salad?
