In a business that revolves around things growing, and some plants grow verrrrrrrry slooooooooowly, patience is a virtue. (Any gardener who loves Bay Trees can attest to this! They take FOREVER to grow, but it’s well worth the wait) Our patience is often rewarded by new growth, beautiful blooms, delicious vegetables or the literal, juicy fruits of our labors. The same patience is needed in planning, and acclimating new plants. When you receive new plants, especially if by mail, the patient gardener will always be the most successful. Upon excitedly opening your new box of plants, make sure you take the time to thoroughly read our planting instructions and then acclimate your plants for a day or so, in a shaded spot. They may be jet lagged from transit, as any of us would be, and may need a drink of water and a moment of relaxing rest in the shade before being asked to perform in your garden. Please make sure to read and heed these directions as well as our section found on each plant product page called “Briscoe’s Tips” for specific planting instructions, because more often than naught, planting immediately doesn’t allow the plant to recuperate from traveling in a box for a few days. So just remember friends:
When you get your new plants, don’t be antsy in the pants;
your herbs will do best, if given water and rest!
