If you can't wait a second longer,
then kick off your spring with cool-season annuals and veggies!
 We've
got beautiful pansies, linaria, and stock ready to go in a sunny
windowbox or container by your front door. Your mailman will be so
jealous...
Also, now is a great time to start cool season
veggies like
broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, and Brussel sprouts.
And don't let the fickle St. Louis spring make you
worry. You can plant with confidence knowing you have
 FreezePruf to save the day. This
breakthrough product adds up to 9 degrees protection in the event of a
late-season frost (although those cool-season annuals and veggies will
thrive in cold, unless there's a drastic temperature drop or snow).
Safe for use on flowers and fruits and veggies. Available at Sugar
Creek Gardens for $16.99. (P.S. Kim uses FreezePruf on tender hydrangeas
in the winter for added protection for those dainty flower buds.)

Winter-blooming hellebore are preparing for their close-ups
If your shade garden
doesn't have any hellebores, then you are truly missing out
on one of the hardest-working and most luscious perennials
available.
These beauties are not
only evergreen -- so they hold their place in the garden all
winter, even in the snow -- but also they're late
winter/early spring bloomers, so many have set buds and are
already flowering.
The flowers come in
many different colors, including single and double
varieties, and for those of you afflicted by deer (my
condolences), these are deer-resistant. We have many
at the nursery that are in bloom now, so stock up -- and
enjoy!
