It’s been quite a good spring so far at Plant Delights…better if we could quit having late spring frosts. We covered plants in the garden for the nights of April 4 and 5 when temperatures were predicted to drop into the mid-20s, but we stayed just above freezing for the night. We are hopeful that […]

Greetings from Plant Delights. February greeted us with more snow and ice, but it looks like the end of February has marked the end of the worst of the winter weather. Damage in the gardens was minimal and we are already seeing some pleasant surprises in plants that we didn’t expect to survive the winter.

Greetings from Juniper Level! We hope you are having a great winter if such is possible. If you are near Oswego, New York, we’re really sorry that you are buried under 5′ of snow, but I bet your perennials are staying warm. We have just had our fourth snowstorm of the winter, which is quite

It’s in the mail. No, not the check, but the 2004 Plant Delights Nursery catalog. Some folks have already received their copy and you should have yours soon…at least if you have ordered in the last two years…and your post office delivery person isn’t a gardener. Until your paper copy arrives, you can enjoy the

As shipping for the year winds down, work on the 2004 spring catalog winds up. For nearly a month, we have been locked in our offices to focus on putting together the new catalog. I am getting a bit tired of pizza slices slid under the door, but we have found that such confinement increases

September was quite a month as Hurricane Isabel arrived without an appointment the day prior to our final open weekend for the season. While we only got 1.5″ of rain and 60 mph winds, the storm kept many of our regular customers from attending. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in Eastern NC and

August seems like it just started but indeed it’s already ended. The highlight of the month was an amazing trip to the UK to collect plants and visit plant friends. I was finally able to visit several places on my “must visit” list including Crug Farms, Ashwood Nursery, Cotswold Flower Gardens and Hillier Arboretum. The

July is gone, but the summer rains are still around. We’ve still got new springs popping up everywhere around the nursery…usually in places where they aren’t welcomed. With all the rain, growth of plants (and weeds) has been exceptional this season and we hope that has been the same for most of you…minus the weeds.

June is always a tough month in the nursery business as much more money flows out than in. At least with our summer rains, this June was not a disaster like last year. Normally, by June 1, we can ship orders as they arrive, but this year is the exception. As June drew to a

Well, what a month! After a steady early spring of orders, May seemed like an avalanche. Perhaps it was the warm weather or soaking rains or maybe even the end of the Iraqi conflict, but everyone got busy gardening all at once. Open house was huge this year when some good publicity, especially an unusually
