By dyzzypyxxy March 7, 2015 | Humidity, and Killing Two Birds... So this week in Florida it has been dry.

I went there last year several times and it was a great experience. They were very helpful with my questions and helped me set up my garden in more organized blooming times for the daylilies and lots more. Even gave me ideas for more landscaping that did not cost me anything. Very friendly. They have lots of other plants like annuals, perennials, herbs, houseplants, hanging baskets, small trees and shrubs, etc. They have designed a fertilizer that works really, really well too. The nursery has a relaxed hometown appeal, the way nurseries did in the old days. They helped me load my plants into the truck and everything. They have tons of daylilies and they make new ones. I also found a great source for seedling daylilies, which are not registered but look as good as anything I have ever seen, for a whole lot less. And I can register them if I want to. I am going to be trying their herbs this year with their urban garden rack. I can stick the garden rack on my patio next to the house and get fresh herbs to cook with right away.
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
