Going Green

This year we are making even more effort to produce less waste and have more products that are biodegradable yet affordable. These are peat pots that Ramblin' Petunias have been planted in. They will grow in these pots until pot and all, they are ready to be planted into planters and hanging baskets. The peat will decompose, actually enriching the soil.

A new product we're trying this year is the JP Peat Pot. They're made in Quebec and are completely biodegradable including the plastic!

All our vegetables and herbs are to be planted in them this year and if successful, we plan to use them to replace most of our 4" plastic pots.

Don't these strawberries look delicious? I can't wait until June when we can eat fresh berries! Yum! We've planted some Honeoye Strawberries in peat pots and hanging baskets. The peat pot plants can be planted in the ground, pot and all or you can enjoy a hanging basket of fruit if you don't have room on the ground.

These are the baskets, they just have to get the hangers put on and hung up.
