Shelby's Garden Center

Pallets are amazing things. You can use them all over your house or yard for a hundred purposes. One way you can repurpose them which is both beautiful and useful is to turn them into planters in your garden! This is a very easy project, and it’s delightfully cheap. Another great thing about it is that it is great for conserving space. The vertical design makes it perfect for any location. Even if you have a very small yard or patio area where you can garden, you can grow a large number of plants this way.

This weeks helpful tip: Shelby knows we don't have a mosquito problem here in the bootheel but if you are one of the unlucky few, please read the below tip. Shelby's carries some of the recommended plants in this weeks helpful tip to help control those pesky mosquitos and we will have a few mosquito pots made up for sale this spring. Shelby hopes everyone enjoys this helpful tip.

Are mosquitoes bugging you in your garden or on your deck? There are a number of herbs which naturally repel them, including catnip, lemon grass, and more. Plant one or more of these together in your garden, and you will get those bugs away fast. Put them in a pot and grow them on your patio or deck and you can keep them away from the areas where you like to spend time. As a bonus, these herbs are all useful for other purposes, so you can harvest them for food and more. This is a much healthier alternative to spraying mosquito repellent everywhere. It’s better for your garden and for you.

Please remember that Shelby's carries a wide variety of tomato plants and let your friends know.

Do you know how to grow sweeter tomatoes? A lot of people love to grow tomatoes because they are usually much juicier and sweeter than the ones you buy at the supermarket. How can you make even sweeter and more delicious? Try adding some baking soda to the soil. Make sure you only sprinkle it on the soil, not the plant. The baking soda is a base, and counteracts the acidity in the tomatoes. The result? Sweeter tomatoes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see the mum bed is empty. We have consolidated all the mums in prep for our new Greenhouse. Yes thats right, we are expanding the business to better serve our customers.

Well Shelby and Lonnie are starting to feel better but not well enough to be at the greenhouse all day. So we will only be open from 1pm to 5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9 to 6pm this week.
