Mikes…read moreHot House is a Well-run, locally family owned and operated garden supply business with a few greenhouses, offering healthy annual & perennial plants (both edible and ornamental) such as shrubs, trees, herbs and other container/garden plants. They had a wide variety of HOT peppers, which really piques my interest ! I find their prices to be competitive or even reasonable. The owners are always very helpful and friendly. I've found some annuals here that I've never been able to find at most other local suppliers, especially the "big box" stores -- there's just no comparison in the varieties offered. They close mid-summer due to (I'm assuming) almost a full sell out of their plant stock. They run a good business and their plants sell well. Last year, I did have a couple of annual ornamental plants fail to thrive and eventually die just a couple of months after I purchased them and promptly transferred them to my hanging baskets. I'm an experienced gardner and homeowner for many years. I do generally know what I'm doing with proper plant nurturing and maintenance. However, when I addressed this with the female owner, she just shrugged her shoulders and said "oh yes.... those tend to be very finicky and difficult to maintain." At the time that I mentioned the failed plants, I was at the register making another sizable purchase. It would have been nice if she had just knocked a few buck off of my total purchase, but she made no such offer. Oh well..... I still like the place enough to continue to patronize Mike's Hot House.
