I am hopeful we are nearing the last frosty morning in the Piedmont Triad this Sunday, April 13. However, if you’re planting in the Foothills during the next week, the beginning of your growing season happens a little later than the Piedmont Triad. Just be prepared to protect your crops, blooming flowers, and any sensitive vegetation if frost develops between now and early May.

Friends of Reynolda Gardens will be able to pre-order plants a week in advance of the April 26 plant sale. Find out how to become a Friend of Reynolda Gardens and learn more about their hard-to-find-annuals, perennials, and tropical offerings.

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension staff members and Master Gardener volunteers will also be hosting plant sales to benefit ongoing agricultural programs in the community. There will be experts available during the sales to help guide you to the right flowers and vegetables that will grow well in your garden.

When planting, it is also important to remember the birds, bees, and wildlife. The upcoming spring sales will have native North Carolina Pollinator plants too. Many of our viewers have been sharing their flower blooms with us on our ulocal North Carolina Facebook page. We would love to see you share your pictures with us there too!

A fabulous place to start for new gardeners and anyone wondering what grows well in North Carolina soils is the North Carolina Extension Garden Tool Box. The Tool Box is a vast online resource that includes photographs and details of more than 4,000 plants, trees, and shrubs.
