Our Babies, 2-24-11



We wanted to share a picture of how our large hanging geranium combo baskets start out. We plant small starts called plugs and nurture them until the are big and beautiful. These are a few of the baskets that have been planted over the last couple of days. We'll post pictures periodically through growing process so that you can see the progress.

Spring is upon us! Johnson's Farm Produce



Hello and welcome! We have been busier than usual preparing for the 2011 gardening season and we can't wait to share it with you! We are in the process of updating our website. We've added this blog and are on Facebook and Twitter. We can now easily keep you updated with current information. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for quick blurbs or visit us here for more detailed information.

Steve, Fernando and crew did a major remodel in our greenhouses. The retail area has been expanded and we have widened the aisles to allow for easier shopping. While the boys were working, the girls were shopping. We traveled to Atlanta to purchase much of our giftware and we came away with some fabulous things! Look for ceramic pots and lots of them in many shapes, sizes and colors. Fairy items are back! We have a complete line along with accessories and lots of adorable little fairies to grace your garden. New this year and what we are most excited about are firepots. Firepots are decorative tabletop ceramic containers that you use to burn fuel gel. They can be used indoors or out. We have quite a variety so be sure to check them out!

Our spring planting begins next week. We fire up the greenhouses one by one and plant until they are all full. It's quite a task but oh so rewarding! A couple of new plants to watch for this year....Little Lime and Bella Anna Hydrangeas, Blackberry Punch Superbells and the Home Run Rose.

And now a little bit of color to brighten your winter day.......
