Life's a Garden: The Billy Mobile Vanishes
By Allen Martinson, 974 Reads

Life is a garden. The appropriate name of my weekly article takes on many shapes and sizes. Sometimes I get down and dirty by writing about garden stuff, sometimes I incorporate my travel adventures with an agriculture angle and sometimes I just go off on a tangent that may seem totally unrelated. Life is a garden.

Life's a Garden: Time to come to the organic side
By Allen Martinson, 1,780 Reads

A few articles back I promised that I would go over a product line that we are excited to introduce to our store. The good news is that this product line is available at most garden centers around town.

Life's a Garden: Green Thumbs Matter
By Allen Martinson, 1,176 Reads

The spring rush at garden centers is officially on. We are accustomed to the early spring gardeners who just can’t wait to start getting their plan together. We thought it was kind of wild the way people reacted to the pandemic last spring. Garden centers were deemed ‘essential,’ and now I see what a great thing that was.

Life's a Garden: If you don’t challenge me — I will
By Allen Martinson, 1,543 Reads

I do like to challenge myself. I get a kick out having some private goals that seem laughably impossible to reach. These self competitions are usually nothing major, just a list of things that would be satisfying at the end of the day or week or month if completed. I prepare for these lists as if I’m packing for a trip.

Life's a Garden: Whiteout on Pulsatilla Pass
By Allen Martinson, 2,046 Reads

This is the week we really get our wakeup call from Mother Nature. When Daylight Saving Time comes, it feels like a huge release to me. It’s time to screw our garden heads back on after all this cold wetness we’ve endured these past few months. I’m a hot weather person.

Life's a Garden: Man’s Second Best Friend
By Allen Martinson, 2,356 Reads

I’m snowed in! I’m writing these words during the Valentine’s weekend. Mother Nature’s Valentine’s gift to Mississippi was snow and ice. Snow can be fun, but ice is a curse word for the nurseryman. Greenhouses can’t bear the weight ice creates. Pipes break. Inventory gets damaged.

Life's a Garden: Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote
By Allen Martinson, 3,184 Reads

Last week I introduced our two children, Mia and Max, to those of you who are readers of my article. Mimi and I started camping with them when they were babies, and as soon as they had their footing, we began taking longer journeys. One Christmas Day we packed up for a 17 day road trip towards the west.

Life's a Garden: Good and stinky
By Allen Martinson, 6,415 Reads

I was helping a customer the other day who had recently moved to Mississippi from another state. They had been to a few of our garden centers to get a feel for what types of plants we use around here. I’m not sure from which state they had come, but they loved our lush landscaping style here in the south.

Life's a Garden: Virtual Shopping
By Allen Martinson, 19,408 Reads

This is the week that always starts Mimi and me thinking about all the projects ahead of us. I usually wake up early on one of the mornings this week with a huge desire to undress the Christmas tree and shove it out the front door and into the back of my truck.
