If you long for more fruit trees in your garden and see the bareroot bargain prices – hesitate not! This is the month to do it. We still have a good variety of trees, even persimmons at Bay Laurel Garden Center. We usually sell out of them at this time, but we still have quite a few Fuyus and some Hachiyas. Check our website for current availability at baylaurelnursery.com .
In truth – it’s still winter. But that’s no excuse for a colorless landscape! We still have a lot of pansies and violas and we are adding some lovely Iceland poppies at Bay Laurel Garden Center. The Colibri varieties were bred in Italy for the cut flower trade – they have exceptionally large flowers in vibrant colors. To prepare the flowers for cutting, sear the stems.
Now at Bay Laurel Garden Center – a few more herbs and vegetables. English thyme is included. Seems like a lot of recipes include thyme, recommended fresh if possible. These leaves are very tiny! Found a tip on the internet: push a stem through a small hole in a strainer and voila – off come the leaves. Parsley is indispensable for the cook and should be replenished after a year or two. Look for 4″ perennial vegetables – artichokes, asparagus and rhubarb.
