2021 Burpee® GardenCast™

Most people know Burpee for providing seeds and plants…but have you heard of the 2021 Burpee® GardenCast™? It is designed to inspire both new and seasoned gardeners this year by providing a gardening forecast informed by cultural trends and expert insights.

Vegepod – Self Contained Raised Garden Bed

The Vegepod is the vegetable garden of your dreams. It is a raised vegetable garden kit that comes in a variety of sizes (small, medium and large). One of the coolest features is the fact that it’s self watering meaning it waters from above and collects in trays and reservoir having enough water down below to last 3-4 weeks so you can go on vacation and not have to worry about who is watering the garden. The container is certified food safe and doesn’t leak rot or rust. It’s very easy to build and anyone can use it! The protective cover is a commercial grade canopy that stops all pests, weather and weeds but it also can still let light air and rain in. The cover refracts light which actually improves the photosynthesis and it won’t tear. Another great aspect is that you have a full foot to grow the big stuff like peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, strawberries, herbs and leafy greens. Click here to learn more about the Vegepod.

Lowe’s Project Source Misters

Stay cool this summer with an all new, innovative, quick-attach Misting line up exclusively at Lowe’s! This is perfect for patios, backyard spaces, and pool areas. They also come in handy for gardening! Your pets will also love them to beat the summer heat. There are 4 different products: The Mini Mister, Portable Misting System, FlexiMist, and Fan Conversion Kit—all of which can attach to any standard garden hose. These can cool air up to 20 degrees and the best part? They’re all under $25 a piece!

The Quick-Attach Mini Mister is the one stop shop for personal misting. You can quickly and easily clip or strap this to your patio chair, tables, or railings because of its flexible tube which allows for mist wherever you position it.

The Portable Misting System is perfect for umbrellas, deck railings, pergolas or garden spaces. It has 20 feet of tubing and four misting nozzles.

The FlexiMist allows you to adjust the height to your preference. There are 8 misting nozzles for ultimate cool-downs. You can use it to cool off the patio, or even let the kids have fun playing games in the backyard.

Last but not least is the Fan Conversion Kit. It turns any standard fan into a Misting fan with the easiest setup. I love to use it while grilling out or enjoying an afternoon on the patio with family.

We can’t wait to add more of these to our boat house and backyard setup at Misty Mill! To learn more, click here.
