Good morning everyone! The gloomy weather continues this week, but that doesn't slow us down at Garden Supply. We are bursting with activity and beautiful plant selections, with choices to please any gardener, from beginner to expert. Stop by and check out our fabulous array of stunning Knock Out Roses. The Knock Out Family of Roses are easy to grow and do not require special care. They are the most disease resistant rose on the market. They have stunning flower power with a generous bloom cycle (about every 5-6 weeks) that will continue until the first hard frost. All of the Knock Out Roses are self-cleaning so there is no need to deadhead. We are happy to be able to offer the shrubs, as well as gorgeous topiary forms, and even a brand new climbing variety that we are particularly excited about.

Over the last week, I've been sharing tips and techniques for growing outstanding container plantings, and today I'd like to share a little TLC for your container garden. You've chosen your plants and planted them in quality potting mix. Now, proper care will keep them happy.
Pots in full sun often require daily soaking, especially in our hot Piedmont summers. Shade pots, however, are easy to overwater. If the soil is wet to the touch, wait another day.
Regularly snip off spent blooms and brown leaves to keep your containers looking in tip-top shape. Deadheading flowers often stimulates extra blooming, as well.
Place pots where they'll receive the amount of sun or shade appropriate for the plants in them. All the plants in a pot should have similar sun and water needs.
With just these few simple tips, you'll be growing a fabulous container garden in no time. Our friendly experts are always on hand to answer any questions and help you make the right selections for your yard, too, so come on down and pay us a visit.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll see you back here soon for more snippets from the garden.
