Flower buying is great past time for me! I can spend hours in Pike Nursery browsing and probably annoying the sales associate by asking 3000 questions per flower. Looking at fully or partially developed plants is great but nothing beats watching a flower grow from a seed.
It’s amazing actually! To watch something so small and ambiguous turn into something so beautiful and delicate as an African Violet , a white tulip, or something massive like a pecan tree! It’s been a while since I’ve attempted to use my (semi) green thumb. Remember I'm a beginner, but I’m always willing to learn. Although,I do have some past memories to pull from. As a child my grandmother helped me to grow plants. I’ve noticed now with my little sister that it instills a sense of pride and accomplishment. Caring for your own little plant and making sure that it gets everything it needs, teaches responsibility. And the fact that it’s just plain fascinating to watch is icing on the cake!
Since it’s been a long time since I’ve planted a seed, I’ve been reading a couple articles about how to get started. I stumbled across this article on the Home Depot Garden Club and wanted to share with you just in case you need a refresher course, like me. Click here to read more.

Normally I use this space to promote the benefits of our product and services or provide tips for mulching, planting, water conservation and other environmentally sustainable projects. Today I just want to give a "shout out" to everyone involved in making our global community the best it can be.
In the US the Holiday season is here and the social media is ripe with "Black Friday Boycotts" "SEO" techniques to get your paged ranked #1, "MLM" concepts for you to get rich and just about anything imaginable depending on who or what you follow. I guess the irony here is that next week I will be up to the old tricks of the trade of trying to keep my subscribers informed and improving my Google ranking, but today I just want to thank the folks that made this all possible.
Before anyone, I want to thank our armed forces. Their sacrifice to protect our way of life so I can do what I do is remembered on a daily basis, but rarely do I thank them. For you, I give thanks!
My wife, family and friends always come first. They support me every way imaginable and I am fortuante for such a great support system. Having this pillar to lean on makes coping with the unknown bearable. For you, I give thanks.
The team I work with, who ultimately fall in the friends category, and could be considered family since we all spend so much time together, are tremendous group who share in providing excellence. Anthony and Antonio are always ready to assist with my projects as I try to provide any and all support they need in the field. Our President and CEO, Bob Russo, has empowered us all to make decisions and move his vision forward to create growth, quality and provide our patrons with every tool necessary for thier landscape projects. For you, I give thanks.
The associates of Pike Family Nurseries should get a great big thanks too. I am very fortunate to have their knowledge and ideas to bring our product to the masses. They have provided so many great ideas on ensuring the EnviroColor® brand is one that stands for integrity and sustainability. We are proud that Pike is our launching pad into the retail arena and are looking forward to being in all of there stores in 2010! For you I give thanks.
Finally, all the customers who have taken the leap and tried EnviroColor®, I give many thanks. Especially those of you who take the time to send me photographs and tell me your success stories. Keep them coming! For you I give thanks.
Without any of the above mentioned individuals this blog and all the others wouldn't have the same meaning. Thanks again. When I gorge myself and sit down to watch my Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions tomorrow I will be thinking of and thanking you all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
