Pam Bochucinski of Plainfield checks out house plants at Schaefer Greenhouses in Montgomery on Friday. Like many, she said she can’t wait to start gardening this year. The warmer than usual weather the past couple of months has been a blessing and a curse for area greenhouses, as owners say phones have been ringing consistently with customers inquiring about plants.
“I know that our customers have definitely been anxious for us to open, probably a lot earlier than we normally would have,” Massat said. “It doesn’t necessarily work with plants and planning for them because there are growth times, and they can’t just be manufactured early.” “We’re already getting calls for tomatoes and peppers and wanting to know where everything is,” she said. “It’s crazy but it’s still too early. You’ve got to be careful even though some of the big box stores are putting product out. The nights have still been cold. People need to wait. You can’t do anything outside yet except clean-up work. We suggest people hold off for a couple more weeks and vent their frustration down the road.
Gardening received a significant bump during the pandemic, and that trend has held steady over the past couple of years. “Near as I can tell, people have come to enjoy it and become regulars,” he said. “New gardeners were generally younger people or young parents. The tried and true have always been older people, but younger people who weren’t particularly exposed to it in their upbringing have found out about it on the internet and are looking for some way to get out of the house.”
