We are very fortunate on the island to have the Ocracoke Garden Center. It is located right behind the grocery-hardware-ABC store and less than a half mile from our house. Lauren and Gloria take good care of us and the Garden Center gets beautiful plants for us to cheer up our homes.
Trish and I both love color and blooms in the yard. We seem to take on different parts of the yard without making any plan to do so...it just happens!
She has been planting mostly in the ground and I am planting mostly in Earth Boxes and other containers. We feed things with fish emulsion and that seems to be what the bloomers thrive on.
Our challenge is to see how long into the heat of the summer we can keep things blooming. It is fun to try and very fulfilling when we have good results.
