Summer Planting

It’s that time of the summer when some of your annuals may look a little sad, possibly forgotten about, eaten by deer, didn’t get hit by that sprinkler or weakened by heat & storms (the list goes on & on). If you’re looking to replace or start fresh, go for something heat tolerant & durable. We have some options at the farm that are perfect to plant mid-summer that will last well through the fall.
