Are you thinking about Moms yet?  Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11!!!!

Naturally, Commonwealth Garden Shoppe is stocking lots of perfect gift items.

We have everything from Fuchsia Baskets to Naked Bee Hand Lotion & Best-1 Hummingbird Feeders.

How about a basket filled with potted perennials to create a cut flower garden?  Granny can hook you up.

Moms & Grandmoms would love chocolate.....Yes, we have chocolate....in the form of mulch.  It is made from cocoa bean shells and deters cats, looks pretty, keeps down weeds and adds Nitrogen to the soil.  Miraculous. 

Come see Granny soon, pick out a basket and we’ll take care of it until Mother’s Day.  Or, Moms!, come in and make a wish list (Becky wants Gnomes) so we can offer ideas to kids.

Ready to start thinking about the summer vegetable garden? The next email will give a tip on starting squash, pumpkins, melons & cucumbers from seed.

Have questions? Send Granny (Joanne) an Email.

See you in the Garden.

p.s. We still have seed potatoes (got blue ones this year), onion plants & bare root strawberries and they need to be planted ASAP.

This link is to OSU extension Service.  Please accept my apologies if you already subscribe.  Loads of helpful info. 

Hopefully y’all think organic when they refer to “commercial” fertilizer.  Commonwealth Garden Shoppe has a complete selection of Down To Earth organic fertilizer. Tree & Shrub, Flowers, Vegetables, etc. 

Also, remember we have a couple of different planting zones in Douglas County.  Obviously Tiller & Azalea are colder and later than the towns along the I-5 corridor.  That’s why Granny and her helpers ask (if they don’t already know you) “Where do you live?” when you are asking what to plant.
