Wintertime at Watson’s Garden Center of Lutherville, Maryland
Posted on February 8, 2012

Not much of a winter (so far) here in Baltimore!  Let’s hope that Spring is just around the corner…..   With the drama of the Ravens and the NFL post-season behind us, lot’s of things around the home to take our minds off the lull of the next few weeks.  Spring Training for the Orioles starts soon.  With the garden in mind, time to think about starting your annual and vegetable seeds indoors.  Figure about 8 weeks until the plants can be set outside.  With May 1 a good, mostly frost-free date, the next several weeks is a good time to start those seedlings.  Choose from a huge selection of Burpee and Botanical Interests flower and vegetable seeds.  Starter soils and peat pots from Hoffman and Jiffy are fully stocked.  Plant lights and warming mats help seedlings along before they go outside.  We have a great selection of heirloom and certified organic vegetable seeds, too.  Stop in soon!

With the mild temperatures lately, our feathered friends have found food on their own fairly well.  It won’t be long, however, when nesting begins and the food source dries up.  Wild birds need other things that they can’t find this time of year in nature.  They need lot’s of fatty things like Black Oil Sunflower, Safflower, and Suet.  We stock the complete line of Lyric Supreme Wild Bird Food.  Scotts Songbird Selections is also part of our premium wild bird food line up.  Squirrels a problem?  Try Cole’s Hot Meats or Flaming Squirrel Seed Sauce.  It won’t harm the birds, just repels the squirrels.  Squirrel Away by C and S works the same way – hot pepper oils.  Squirrell proof feeders are very popular and we stock the complete line of Droll Yankee Whippers, Tippers, Flippers, and Tippers.  The Squirrel Buster and Buster Plus are also very effective against squirrels.

We have houses and feeders from Duncraft, Audubon, and Woodlink.  We are currently expanding the Wild Bird Dept so stop in soon, check out the great selelction and don’t forget to ask for your Wild Bird Frequent Feeder Savings Card – the checkout staff will assist you. 

orchidsWinter is also a great time to brighten the home on the inside with beautiful flowering tropical plants, foliage, bromeliads, and orchids.  Fresh plants from Florida, California, and Hawaii arrive every 2 weeks into our greenhouse.  Choose a brightly colored pot to go with your plant purchase and we can re-pot it for you while you wait.  Just see one of our greenhouse staff for help.

Finally, just because it may be cold outside, it doesn’t mean you can’t grill and smoke just like summertime.  We are Baltimore’s only Weber Alliance dealer with the complete line Weber One-Touch charcoal and Genesis and Summit gas grills.  We offer free assembly on every grill purchase.  A complete line of parts and accessories is always in stock.  Need service on your Weber grill?  Winter is a great time to schedule a service or cleaning before the Spring rush.  We are a Big Green Egg dealer and one of Baltimore’s most complete “Egg Head” destinations.  A huge selection of sauces, smoker woods, rubs, and grilling supplies compliments our Big Green Egg and Weber grill area.

Sign up for emails and you will receive valuable coupons regularly during the Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons.  Happy Wintertime from Watson’s!
