A story about ~~Shopping… Food… Traveling~~… Coleus

Do your ‘Emotions’ have you ‘Inspired’ to be ‘Playful’, ‘Passionate’, or ‘Sophisticated’ in May? Phone your ‘Redhead’ friend, ‘Trusy Rusty’ and take the ‘Midnight Train’ to ‘Sedona’. This ‘Snazzy’ town has the best shoe stores for finding the perfect sandals for a lady’s ‘Tiny Red Toes’. Make sure you take the ‘Sunset Strip’ and visit the ‘Razzle Dazzle’ chocolate shop for a ‘Chocolate Drop’ or some ‘Dark Chocolate’. And, if you haven’t had enough of a sugar high yet, get a triple dip of ‘Chocolate Mint’, ‘Pineapple Splash’, ‘Grape Expectations’, or ‘Lemon Twist’ ice cream at the homemade ice cream store! If all the ice cream gave you a cold headache, be sure to take a break and have a ‘Mint Mocha’. Make sure you visit the art gallery to see the ‘Electric Lime’ paintings made with ‘Inky Fingers’! Now, with as much fun as you have had, you’ll make your other friend ‘Peter Wonder’ why he didn’t come with you. And, when you’re all through, you can drive home for an ‘Alabama Sunset’… if you live in Alabama , that is.

This story is totally make believe… a fantasy… all the words in single quotations are names of some of our cool Coleus… or Solenostemon, if you want to use the Botanical name. Coleus have all these brightly colored leaves, perfect for mixing into container combos or in flower beds (even though they really aren’t famous for their flowers). Regardless, we have all these varieties, and more (nearly 50 kinds!!) all on sale for only $1.99 per 4.5 round pot (reg. $3.99 per pot)… Any anyone, even ‘Swinging Linda’ or the whole ‘Florida City Micanopy’ can tell you that is a bargain! So, don’t have a ‘Trailing Bleeding Heart’, make your way to Arnold ’s Greenhouse anytime Friday, May 21^st through Monday, May 31^st for an unbelievable deal on Coleus!!

‘Zahara’ Zinnias in 4.5 round pots are also only $1.99 each May 21^st through May 31^st… I just couldn’t think of a fun story to tell about Zinnias!

Veggies in Containers
Hopefully, it’ll dry up soon for all of us “who haven’t gotten our veggie gardens planted yet” to get them planted. But, if you are getting anxious to get something planted, you can always plant in containers. All kinds of veggies can be grown in containers… tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green beans, peas, onions, bush cucumbers, bush squash… we have everything you need to get started! Just think, if you plant in containers, there’s next to no bending over to harvest your veggies, they are easy to water, they are easy to weed (if you even have to at all). Why not try veggies in containers this year?

Relish Recipe
When we had our Wave Petunia sale week back in April, Marsha (one of our long time staff members) shared some of her awesome homemade pickle relish. Many of you enjoyed it on your grilled hotdogs. We had oodles of requests for Marsha’s recipe, so finally, here it is. Now, we’ll hope you’ll come get some green and red pepper plants, some onion plants, and some cucumber plants from us soon! As for the other ingredients, well, your on your own in finding those… but the spice and baking aisles in the grocery store should be a good starting place!

Marsha’s Cucumber Relish
10 cups ground/shredded cucumbers (peeled)
4 green sweet peppers, shredded/diced
1 red sweet pepper, shredded/diced
8 medium onions, shredded/diced
4 teaspoons salt
2 cups vinegar
4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons celery seed
2 teaspoons turmeric
4 teaspoons mustard seed
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Cucumbers, green and red sweet peppers and onion can all be shredded in a food processor, using the grating blade.

Mix cucumbers, peppers, onions, and salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Drain and add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Boil at least 5 minutes, or until as thick as desired, stirring frequently. Fill clean glass jars and seal while hot. A 10 minute hot water bath is great for sealing the jars.

Memorial Day
Yes, we will be open on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31^st from 9am til 7:30pm . Stop in for an awesome special good only on Memorial Day. What is it you ask? It’s a surprise! Only those who stop in will find out!

Summer Hours
Summer hours start June 1^st! We’ll be open Monday through Saturday, 9am til 5pm in June, July, and August! Rain or shine, hot or cold, we hope you’ll come see us. And, if the kids are bouncing off the walls now that school is out (or just about out), bring them out to play in the grass maze or in the sand box or in the play house, or let them see the chickens! We’ll soon have the fence up for the tricycle track, and the picnic shelter is always open for that fun picnic lunch.

Introducing Planters to Go!

Do any of these describe you?

I have lots of my own empty pots.
I don’t know which plants to put together to make cool combos.
I wish my pots looked nice & full as soon as I plant them, as if they had been planted for weeks.
I like pre-planted combination planters, but I don’t really need more decorative pots.

If they do, Planters to Go might be perfect for you! A Planter to Go is a plastic purple growing container that has been planted with cool combos of plants! All you need to do is select your favorite Planters to Go, purchase one of our perfect potting soils… when you get home, you fill your containers part way with soil, put the Planter to Go in your container and take off the purple plastic part and the handle. Then, fill in around the inside rim of your container with more great potting soil and water in. And, as if by magic, your patio containers will look lush, full, and awesomely fashionable in just a matter of minutes!! Cool doodles! We have 14 unique combinations planted up for shady sites and over 30 unique combinations planted up for sunny spots!
