If you go up to Wentworth Nursery in Charlotte Hall, stop and talk to Sally O. She is the greenhouse manager and can answer all your questions about growing seeds.

Thank you! I really like using local businesses. I can't wait to start planting!

I used to have a seed bed outside with a glass cover and plant everything from seed, but the expense of putting new topsoil in every year and paying for the seed wasn't worth it. For a very cheap price I can fill up the garden. Zimmermans, just North of Leonardtown on Rt 5. Everything you want.

What kind of seeds ?
Avg. last feeze.......April 20'th.
No "summer" plants are safe to plant until after the first of May....

It does get expensive, but it's something that I really love doing. I could plant year-round where we used to live. This climate is such a change for me. With veggies, I have better luck with good quality seed, rather than just what they happen to have at the store. However, I have found some really pretty flowers at Target, etc. I will definitely try Zimmermans, thanks for the info. I can't wait to get started!

I am planning on planting some veggies and also some new flowers that I found. I haven't had much luck starting flowers from seed indoors, but doing the veggies early makes spring planting so much better.

If you go to Lowes or something and buy the little packets of seeds on the back it normally tells you when to plant them. Also, I like to go to this website Direct Gardening and they should be able to help yo as well! Good Luck!

Zimmerman's is a great place, but I like Stauffer's even better. They're north of Zimmerman's on Rt. 5....go past the bar on the left (I can't remember the name...
), past Miller's Cabinet place (on the right), and the driveway is on the left. You'll see the greenhouses. They have WAY more plants than Zimmerman's....seriously, I can't even begin to tell you how many different varieties they have. They're THE place to go for bedding plants (but they have perennials and veggies, too). In fact, I love them so much, I'm going to drive all the way down there this spring.

I didn't know that was the name of the place, I thought you were inviting her for a brew-ski, like I was about to! I was going to say to let us know when you'd be in the area CG, just to say Hi!

I have thought about doing that in the past, but I'm kinda shy when it comes to meeting a bunch of [practically] strangers.
I'll think about it though!

Can't ask for more than that! And they don't get any stranger than us!

How far up 5 is this? 
I don't know where Brewski's or Zimmerman's or Stauffers or Miller's cabinet is 
Can I get another landmark? I too would like to go to this place

I don't have an exact landmark, but they are between the 5/235 split and the Loveville MVA.
