Hot and Dry, Oh Me-Oh My!

The weather reports this weekend have been right on the money.  Now I truly know the meaning of “widely scattered thunderstorms.”  A decent shower in Harrisville, sprinkles in Adena.  A brief shower in St Clairsville, nothing in Maynard or Fairpoint.  And at the Garden Center we just water-water-water.  But the showers we have had in the past couple of days have helped to soften the ground some for weeding.  Weeding is a job I actually get some satisfaction from, but not when I need to dig the weeds with a chisel. 

The Perennial of the Week program has started– this week’s perennial choice is IRISES.  All of them are on sale through 6/7/07, when we’ll choose another group for the next week. 

The landscape department is working steadily through the heat, and many of our customers are the proud owners of newly landscaped areas.  Dawn is still booking appointments and doing designs for installation later this month.  Call now to get on the list!
