Topicals and Houseplants

  • Now is a good time to re-pot houseplants into slightly larger pots using Town & Country Professional Potting Mix

  • Houseplants sense spring in late February as the days lengthen. Begin feeding with plant food to encourage healthy new growth.

  • Add Orchids, African violets, Bromeliads and other flowering plants to bring color indoors.

Indoor Seed & Bulb Starting

  • Start flower and vegetable seeds indoors. Click here for a copy of our Seed Starting Guide for recommended indoor sowing dates and tips for success.

  • Start the following seeds indoors: perennials, geraniums, snapdragons, petunias, peppers, celery, onions, and most herbs. Use grow lights to encourage healthy growth of seedlings and other indoor plants.

  • Begin fertilizing seedlings with Fertilome Water Soluble Plant Food 20-20-20.
  • Mark your seedlings with wood or plastic labels to identify varieties and planting dates
