July 19, 2011: thank youThis year was a great year for flowers! Thank you for your continuing support. We are closing down the annuals for the season. There are still lots of perennials for sale. The shrubs and trees are 35% off !!

Sorry, I haven't updated with you in a while. Everything is BOOMing over at the Greenhouses!! If you have been there on a Saturday you know. Our new tomatoes is a big seller, it looks funny but tastes amazing. They have a mild taste yet still has the amazing taste of a DeBruin's tomato! Every flower is in bloom and it waiting for you to come pick they up and take them home.

We have always gotten compliment on how well our flowers take in our climate. If you live in Thunder Bay, you understand the nervousness of planting outside for the first time that year. Our annuals are perfect. They are all hardened off and are all ready to be planted in your garden. Even our baskets and planters are ready for you! 

We have bags to hang on a wall, baskets for in front of your house, annuals to either make your garden full and lustrous, or even to fill that small space in between your perennial garden.

Right now is the perfect time to grow and to keep your yard looking beautiful!! 

May 26, 2011: Blooming with colours and yummy treats!

This week I want to talk about our variety of eatables at the Greenhouses. We have lettuce, which is looking beautiful this week, cucumbers, hydroponic spinach, living hydroponic basil, as well as a variety of other herbs available when wanted, and of course our famous DeBruin Tomatoes! The tomatoes come in five different varieties this year. There are our regular beefsteak tomatoes, good for sandwiches, hamburgers, or anything that just needs a slice of tomato. New this year we have heritage tomatoes! These are a specialty tomato and have a wonderful taste. Also we have our yellows tomatoes. This year we have yellow clusters, which are smaller sweeter tomatoes, lovely for adding colour to a salad. Also, we have yellow beefsteaks which are good for sandwiches or salads. Last but certainly not least we have our cute cherry tomatoes!! These are sweet tasty little toms, amazing in salads, or even eating straight out of the container (yumm).

If you have any questions you want to ask about any of our vegetables, or even flowers feel free to send us an e-mail at: info@debruinsgreenhouses.com , or post on our wall on the DeBruin's Greenhouses facebook page.

January 28, 2010: Welcome to the new year!

Well, guess what...the tomato seeds have hit the hydroponic media. At this point they should be nice and warm and ready to germinate. Our plants will be going through several processes before they arrive at DeBruin's. First germination, then grafting on a different root stock, healing and growing, stick with rubber band to keep the plant upright and then shipping to Thunder Bay in a nice warm truck. Our plants should arrive March 3rd. We are excited to get started again this year and look forward to another fantastic season with abundance fruit, flowers and vegetables.

Keep an eye on us because when we go, we go fast. More tomatoes, more lettuce and definately more hydroponic basil.

Talk to you soon...Cheers!

August 27, 2009: Fresh Beans anyone?

Our fresh beans are sold by the pound and are washed before they are bagged and cooled. The price is $4.00 per pound and will melt in your mouth when steamed. 

Our fresh broccoli is ready to be harvested. These are selling at $2.00 per head.

Please look for us at the Thunder Bay Country Market on Wednesday from 4 till 8 PM and Saturday from 8 AM till 1 PM.

As usual at this time of year we're reorganizing our greenhouses to make more room for vegetable plants so we can make the most of the remaining growing season.  Help us make some room - all of our perennials, trees and shrubs are 25% off. 

Looking for fresh produce?  Our crispy red and yellow sweet peppers are now being harvested daily and are available at the greenhouses and at the Thunder Bay Country Market for $4.99/lb.  Eggplant will be available soon, and as always our tomatoes, lettuces and fresh herbs are being picked at the moment of perfect ripeness.
