Spring is for Planting
As the days grow longer and temperatures begin to rise, there’s no better time to get outside and start planting. Spring is the season of fresh starts, both for your landscape and your garden beds. At Brady Nursery, we look forward to this time of year because it’s when ideas take root, projects begin, and customers turn their outdoor spaces into something beautiful and productive. Whether you’re focused on preventing weeds, growing your own food, or enhancing your landscape, early spring is when it all begins.
Get Ahead of Crabgrass Before It Starts
One of the most important, and often overlooked, tasks this time of year is preventing crabgrass before it ever has a chance to grow. With warmer weather arriving earlier than usual, crabgrass is also germinating sooner. That means timing is everything. Applying a pre-emergent like Ferti-lome All Seasons now can make all the difference in keeping your lawn healthy and weed-free throughout the season. Once crabgrass appears, it becomes much harder to control, so getting ahead of it is key. A proactive approach now will save you time, effort, and frustration later, while also helping your lawn maintain a thick, lush appearance.
Start Your Edible Garden
Beyond lawn care, spring is also the perfect time to start planning and planting your edible garden. There’s something incredibly rewarding about growing your own food, and it all starts with the right foundation. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or trying it for the first time, Brady Nursery is your one-stop shop for all things gardening. From seeds and starter plants to soil, fertilizers, and expert advice, we have everything you need to get growing with confidence.
Vegetable gardening continues to grow in popularity, and for good reason. Not only does it provide fresh, flavorful produce right from your backyard, but it also offers a sense of accomplishment that you simply can’t get from store-bought goods. Spring is the time to plant cool-season crops like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, seed potatoes, and onions, as well as to begin preparing for warm-season favorites like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Our team can help guide you through what to plant and when, ensuring you set your garden up for success from the very beginning.
Plant Fruit Trees for Long-Term Rewards
Fruit trees are another fantastic addition to any yard, offering both beauty and long-term rewards. Spring planting allows trees to establish strong root systems before the heat of summer sets in. At Brady Nursery, we carry a wide selection of fruit trees, including cherry, apple, pear, peach, apricot, and nectarine varieties. Each brings its own unique flavor and charm, while also adding visual interest to your landscape. Planting fruit trees is an investment, not just in your property, but in years of fresh harvests to come.
Add Berry Bushes & Vines
If you’re looking to expand your edible garden even further, berry bushes and vines are a must. Options like blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, grapes, and elderberry are well-suited to our region and can thrive with the right care. These plants are relatively easy to maintain and can produce abundant yields year after year. Incorporating a mix of fruit trees and berry plants allows you to create a diverse and productive backyard space that’s both functional and enjoyable.
Build Better Gardens with Raised Beds
For many gardeners, raised beds have become the go-to solution for growing vegetables and other plants. They offer better drainage, improved soil quality, and easier access for planting and maintenance. If you’re considering building raised beds this spring, Brady Nursery has everything you need to get started. We offer both bulk and bagged soil options, making it easy to create the ideal growing environment for your plants. Our team can also provide guidance on bed construction, soil blends, and plant selection, helping you design a setup that works for your space and goals.
Refresh Your Landscape with Trees, Shrubs & Flowers
Of course, spring planting isn’t limited to edibles. It’s also the best time to enhance your overall landscape with trees, shrubs, and flowers. Early planting allows these plants to establish themselves before the stress of summer heat, giving them a stronger start and better long-term growth. Whether you’re looking to add shade, create privacy, or simply boost curb appeal, now is the time to act.
At Brady Nursery, we pride ourselves on being fully stocked for the season with a wide variety of high-quality plants and materials. From vibrant annuals and hardy perennials to unique specimen trees and versatile shrubs, our selection is designed to meet the needs of every gardener and homeowner. And while we carry an excellent inventory throughout the year, there’s no question that the best selection is available right now.
