Here's some spring gardening advice from Gardeners of Bluffton and Pandora

Here's some great advice from the Gardners of Bluffton and Pandora:

 If you have not yet made your order for seed from the catalogues that you have received in the past few weeks or months you should expedite this as soon as you can.

The later you make your order the later (exponentially speaking) you will receive it.

Those who wait to make there order, say the middle of March may not receive the seeds till late May or early June. If you make your order now you should get them sometime in the next few weeks.

Among the businesses visible in the background are the Carma Theatre at 121 S. Main and the A & P Food Store, which is now Town and Country Flowers.
