Our First Lecture of 2011

On Saturday, March 12th at 11:00am Bobbie Waters from Coastal Environmental Partnership will give a lecture on “The Benefits of Compost”.
She will not only educate us on all the wonderful benefits this  organic amendment has to offer our gardens and landscape, but teach us the step by step natural process her company goes through converting raw organic material into a soil conditioner that improves our soil.
The Coastal Environmental Partnership is actually a part of Tuscarora’s landfill right here in Craven County on Old Hwy. 70. The compost as well as mulch can be purchased at the site from Monday-Friday.
We at Pinecone Perennials use this terrific local source of soil amendment on a regular basis both in our arboretum at the store and for personal use at our homes. Come join us for a great learning opportunity, rain or shine!

Cool weather veggies are ready!

Get the hoe, rake and shovels ready, it’s time to plant cool weather vegetables. Think of all the delicious side dishes or colorful salads you could enjoy from growing your own veggies. We have broccoli, cabbage, collards, lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, onions and more. And the salad bowls, let me tell you about our beautiful pots of mixed lettuces, cute, plump radishes, spinach, chard, arugula and more in 8” pots that are brimming with wonderfully textured shades of green. Just set the pots on your back steps, patio or porch. Then at dinner time step out the door and snip and toss a fresh salad colorful, crispy and tasty you will want to skip the steak!

Non-Stop Color in Shade

If you are looking for riotous color all summer long for your hanging baskets, patio planter or shade gardens, I can’t think of a more suitable plant to use than the Tuberous and Rex Begonias. They also make exceptional houseplants because of their showy flowers that bloom continually for many months. But even more exciting is the fantastic foliage that some of them possess. Some resemble stained glass windows with their unique patterned leaves – nothing less than a work of art! We have a new shipment in the greenhouse waiting for your oohs and ahhs…

2011 Perennial of the Year

One perennial every gardener in our area should consider is Amsonia Bluestar. It is a new plant out on the market that we will be offering this spring and are quite excited about. Besides the masses of blue flowers, the fine green texture in the spring through summer turns a gorgeous amber shade in the fall.
