Pat's Garden Shop

I married into a gardening family and am probably an intermediate gardener since this is our fourth summer with a large garden. Late winter and spring holidays aren't celebrated with potlucks or cookouts, they are garden preparation markers. Tomato and pepper seeds are planted inside on Superbowl Sunday. There is a planting schedule for Easter, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day. My mother-in-law uses a watercolor paintbrush to pollinate her heirloom plants.

Having a curious three year old in the house we skipped starting seeds inside because we're generally messy enough without potting soil in the mix. Last weekend I was itching to plant peppers and tomatoes. Instead of heading to a big box garden center I decided to try a home based business near Le Roy. I went to Pat's Garden shop and found nice healthy plants for a good price. I picked out eight peppers, sixteen tomatoes, and four allysum for a total of $12. There was a good variety of vegetables. I found cayenne, jalapeno, habanero, bell, sweet, and yellow peppers. There were probably ten varieties of tomatoes.

I planted my choices as soon as I got home and a week later they are in the best shape my transplants have ever been in. They are perky and growing with good color.
