Gardening is Hard Work!
John Morgan here with Bob’s Market. This week I want to talk about something that usually pops up when I do presentations on gardening. It is a topic that the horticultural industry as a whole has tried to gloss over.
Edible Mixed Containers
You might have limited space for traditional gardening or want a focal point for your patio that features a tasty treat, here are some awesome mix ideas.
Early Spring Gardening

Hydroponic Gardening
I have been gardening all winter. Fresh lettuce, kale, herbs, peas, tomatoes, and even violas freshly harvested each week.
Icepocalypse Now
A winter storm is on the way, and it's armed with rain, ice, and snow. For those of us along the Ohio River, it looks like we're going to be getting anywhere from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch or more of ice! Here's how to prepare your landscape and your home for the incoming icepocalypse.
Growing with Artificial Light
I’m not a fan of winter. The cold doesn’t bother me, it’s the darkness. S.A.D., seasonal affective disorder, can have some serious effects like weight gain, tiredness, and general depression and moodiness. However, there are ways to combat its effects. Sun exposure or phototherapy is the best treatment. One of the benefits of working for a greenhouse is that it is 75 degrees and sunny every day. What about our plants? Do they need extra light too?
