What a difference a week makes! We have moved plants in and out, and back in out ad infinitum… At least it seems like that 😇 But that’s Spring in TN! This last week we saw an 80 degree high, rain 🌧️ light snow ❄️ frosty mornings and then yesterday- The perfect day for an event that we have been putting on for 26 years – Our Annual Aquatic Workshop and Spring Fest ❤️
It looks like we are past Frost now 🙏🏻 So the planting is about to begin in earnest! Tomato’s 🍅 Squash, cucumbers 🥒 beans 🫘 Flowers 🌺 flowers flowers and more!
My day is just getting started… More coffee ☕️ then I’m off…
“To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?”
~ Edna St. Vincent Millay
Enjoy your Sunday!

I’ve been up since early morning, doing a few things in my garden. Finally getting my tomatoes 🍅 squared away 👏🏻 It was a test… I almost always get my ‘maters’ out by April 15th… But this years weather had other plans 😊 Late frosts, wind and storms, unseasonably cool nights well into late April, early May drove my decision to wait. PS: I’m glad I did.
In fact, I know several old gardeners who always wait until Mothers Day to plant their tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶 🫑 and almost always have show stopping gardens with HUGE yields. “It’s all about soil temperature and warming nights”… I’ve learned that this age old wisdom holds true almost every time. Everything revolves around proper timing…
“Whoever makes a garden. Has never worked alone;
the rain has always found it, The sun has always known;
The wind has blown across it. And helped to scatter seeds;
Whoever makes a garden. Has all the help he needs.
Whoever makes a garden. Should surely not complain,
With someone like the sunshine.And someone like the rain
And someone like the breezes.To aid him in his toil
And someone like the Father. Who gave the garden soil.
Whoever makes a garden, has, oh, so many friends;
The glory of the morning, the dew when daylight ends.
For rain and wind and sunshine, and dew and fertile sod;
And he who makes a garden, works hand and hand with God.”
~ Douglas Malloch
Have a great Sunday!
PS: 1 week from today is Mothers Day! ❤️

Do you grow your own Tomatoes? If you do, you know the joys, rewards, and discomforts (work) of growing them. If you don’t grow your own tomatoes, well, it’s not to late to make something of your life…
I have grown so many different varieties over the years… Jet Star and Better Boy’s are always a safe bet with their hybrid vigor and disease resistance! Great for canning and preserving for Winter too! But, when it comes to a good slicing tomato or a delicious Tomato Sandwich, give me a Cherokee Purple!
Guy Clark said it best! Theres 2 things that money CAN’T buy – True Love! and Homegrown Tomatoes!
PS: When your ready to get started on your ’Better Life’ by growing your own tomatoes, I’ll be here to help 😉
Have a great evening!

Q: Do You Want Your Landscape & Garden Plants to Keep Performing into Late Summer & Fall?
We are past the 4th of July now and its getting HOT! Your plants and flowers have been doing great, but now they are looking a bit overgrown, and… Tired? I want my Flowering Plants and my veggies to keep on keeping on till frost! A question we get a lot at Carters Nursery is – What do I need to do to keep my Plants Performing through the dog days and into Fall? That is a great question to ask! I’ll show you what I use.
I use a lot of Fox Farm products in my Landscape and in my edible garden. In my opinion, Happy Frog Potting Soil is a must! It very balanced and has all the things you need – It is amended with soil microbes that help improve root efficiency and encourage nutrient uptake, as well as earthworm castings, bat guano, and aged forest products. I use it as a top dressing that i work into my garden soil, a potting medium and as a mulch in some annual beds. | Organic Potting Soil & Organic Fertilizers | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
We also carry a GREAT line of Liquid Fertilizers, as well as bagged Granular Fertilizers.
We even carry Soil Acidifiers, Garden Lime and Organic Pest Control products.
Come on out and get what your Garden and your Landscape needs to Thrive through the seasons!
Viva La’ Garden Loca!

Its a mild, beautiful, overcast morning. A perfect morning to get out and enjoy the air, check on plants, listen to the birds and the Waterfalls. I’m drinking my coffee this morning from the Hemingway House cup we got down in Key West earlier this year 😊 Like Earnest, I love cats 🐈 too…
Our cat isn’t a ”polydactyl type”, but shes a heck of a mouser 🐁 And she LOVES mint! Not just catmint, most any mint will do 😊
Balance is so important in life. All the hard work we have been doing to keep the Nursery up and to prepare for the upcoming Pond Tour is balanced by the beauty of the Landscape that I enjoy every time I stop to admire a flower or feed a Koi 🐠 Or even to watch my cat working through every one of my plants to see which ones she likes the best 🌺
Have a blessed Sunday 🙏🏻
