Description
We all love plant shopping. Great. Do it. Plants grown in a greenhouse, however, need to be acclimated to outdoor conditions.
Expose them gradually to the sun as well as night temperatures. It's still too cool at night to plant many hot-weather vegetables and flowers. They can be taken outside by day and brought in at night.
Plants growing outside at nurseries can be planted now. They're already acclimated. This includes trees, shrubs and perennials.
You can start to bring plants you saved over the winter outdoors. I'm making room in my little greenhouse by moving some geraniums outside. I'm putting them in a protected spot on my patio in partial shade.
The seedlings in the greenhouse are growing but I'm giving them a boost. I'm spraying them with a very weak solution of water-soluble plant food. Plants can absorb nutrients through their leaves as well as through their roots.
Two plants of note at the garden are the serviceberry tree (Amelanchier), with pretty white flowers, and the silver dollar plant (Lunaria). This biennial can be sown from seed now. It produces pink or white flowers in its second year, followed by shiny "silver dollar" seed heads in fall.
