By jvdubb October 29, 2014 | Don't Throw Out Those Pelargoniums at the End of the Season! Storksbill geraniums (Pelargoniums) are a beloved staple in summer containers and landscaping.

By Eric4home October 27, 2014 | A Sliding Door on the Harbor Freight Greenhouse After the brutal winter of 2013 I realized that I needed to improve my HFGH if I was going to use it year-round. I believed the doors were one of the major problems. I was able to get a very good Andersen 6' sliding patio door and wanted to incorporate it into the existing structure.

Excellent plants, communication and service. Highly recommended. Northern Grown Perennials offers Hosta, Peonies and Daylilies from a general cultivar list, as well as their own daylily and hosta introductions. I placed a daylily order on October 20 using email and PayPal, and the plants arrived on the morning of the 24th. They shipped husky, mature, field-grown multiple-fan plants with robust root systems that are now re-establishing into instant clumps.
I am collecting Star Trek named daylilies. Manatawny Creek Farm delivered my order promptly and everything was in good condition. I even got a bonus plant. I am very happy with their service.
I just received my first order from Flowers by the Sea. It will not be my last! The plants are much larger than I had expected them to be, and they were packaged so well that not one leaf was dislodged or damaged. The nursery has an impressive selection of salvias and companion plants, including some that are fairly exotic and difficult to find -- Cantua, Iochroma, Centradenia, etc. The website is a joy to navigate, displaying an abundance of photos and information. Ordering is a breeze and is followed by a considerable amount of e-mail communication, including shipping notifications, tracking numbers, planting guides, and care instructions,
I wanted a source for species tulips. Acting on a recommendation here, I gave them a try. Loved the company and the product.
Tons of great plant information at website. Products are always timely, healthy and are a good value.
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
