Garden Center magazine said that in 2011 the veggie garden craze will continue (it’s not about the garden at all, but in many cases, it’s about the food).  They say that over half the people who have a garden or lawn grow vegetables; 90% of those eat fresh, 66% share with family and friends, and 36% preserve for later.  With rising food and other costs, this will probably be the trend for the future.

We at Dobias Landscaping & Garden Center are beginning to sell more food grown plants.

We are growing more small fruit and some garden vegetables in larger pots.  These pots can be placed on a patio or an area where they can be easily watered.  We are growing some strawberry plants, as well as we have added a few herb varieties.
