WELL, SINCE MANY PEOPLE ARE
HOME RIGHT NOW, THIS COULD
REALLY GOOD TIME TO GET OUTSIDE
FOR A LITTLE BIT AND DO SOME
LANDSCAPING. HASN'T PROGRESS IN
BEAUTIFYING YOUR HOUSE? CARLOS
DIAZ, ASK PAT SULLIVAN SOME OF
THE BEST THINGS YOU COULD BE
DOING RIGHT NOW TO GET OUR
HOUSE LOOKING READY FOR SPRING.
CARLOS? THAT'S RIGHT. WE ARE
HERE AT SULLIVAN HARDWARE AND
GARDEN WHICH I'VE LEARNED IS A
NOBLESVILLE. IT'S IN NORTH
BROAD TRAVEL ACCORDING TO PAT
SULLIVAN AND HIS I GUESS HE
STARTED THE TERM NOBLESVILLE.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? PEOPLE
ARE SEED STARTER KITS, INDOOR
SEEDS SORT OF KITS SO THEY CAN
DO SOME THINGS WITH THEIR
FAMILY WHEN THEY'RE AT HOME.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT CARLOS THAT
IS THE THING THAT WE ARE
FINDING OUT IS WHAT ALL OF A
SUDDEN, YOU KNOW, SEED STARTING
IS KIND OF A POP NOT WILDLY
POPULAR. AND ALSO IT'S WILDLY
POPULAR BECAUSE KIDS ARE AT
HOME AND EVEN WHETHER THERE'S
KIDS AT HOME, THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR THINGS TO DO. OR IT'S JUST
ADULTS LOOKING FOR THINGS TO
DO. SO SEEDS STARTING BECAUSE
NORMALLY YOU WOULD PLANT SEEDS
SIX WEEKS BEFORE FROST FREE
DAY. SO WE'RE GETTING PRETTY
CLOSE TO THAT. AND FOR KIDS,
YOU KNOW, JUST YOU KNOW, SOME
AS SIMPLE AS THE GREEN BEANS.
AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY GET A
LITTLE MORE E-LEARNING OUT OF
IT, YOU COULD PUT ONE OF THESE
BY THE WINDOW. ALL RIGHT.
NATURAL LIGHT. THEN YOU CAN PUT
ONE UNDER ARTIFICIAL LIGHT,
MAYBE EVEN FLUORESCENT AND THEN
YOU CAN COMPARE. SO I LIKE THAT
IDEA. SPEAKING OF WHAT'S GOING
ON IN THE CORONA VIRUS, THIS
CUSHION IS ACTUALLY HELPING
COMBAT THE CORONA. YEAH. THIS
IS CALLED CHICAGO WICKER. IT'S
IN CHICAGO. YEAH. AND THEY'VE
TAKEN ONE OF THEIR LINES AND
ARE ACTUALLY NOW MAKING GOWNS
FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS COMING
TOGETHER LIKE THAT. IEDC
AMAZING. AND SO YOU HAVE YOUR
STORE STILL OPEN. YOU'RE ALSO
DOING CURBSIDE CHECK IN. WHAT
PRODUCTS ARE YOU SELLING THAT
WEREN'T REALLY SELLING THAT
GREAT BEFORE? YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE FUNNIEST THINGS THAT I
NOTICED BY THE REGISTERS WE
HAVE THIS OH KEEPS IT FOR DRY
HANDS AND DRY SKIN. RIGHT. IT'S
COMPLETELY WIPED OUT. WHY?
BECAUSE WE'RE ALL WASHING OUR
HANDS 30 MINUTES. SO ALL OF A
SUDDEN YOU KNOW THE ONLY THING
LEFT I LOOKED AT THE AWNING
LEFT HIS FOOT CREAM. YOU WERE
NEVER USING YOUR HANDS. YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT CLN. ALL RIGHT.
SO WE HAD A PRETTY MILD WINTER
SO WE'RE ALREADY SEEING, YOU
KNOW, SOME BLOOMS THAT THEY'RE
HAPPENING RIGHT HERE. YES. SO
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GREAT TIME.
YOU KNOW, IT IS SPRING. SO
CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS ABOUT TREES AND SHRUBS.
SO IF YOU IF THE GROUND'S NOT
FROZEN WHICH IT IS AND
TEMPERATURES ABOUT 45 50
DEGREES RIGHT NOW. BUT RIGHT
NOW IT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO
PLANT WHAT ARE YOU ORNAMENTAL?
SO YOU KNOW, GO AFTER WHETHER
IT'S A BOXWOOD, WHETHER IT'S A
TREE. SO THERE'S A FEW
SENSITIVE THINGS STILL BUT
RIGHT NOW IS A GREAT TIME. AND
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE BUYING
PANSIES WHEN IT COMES TO
CURBSIDE CHECK IN PANSIES ARE
ALWAYS POPULAR IN THE SPRING.
BUT AGAIN, I THINK THAT BECAUSE
EVERYBODY'S AT HOME, YOU KNOW
WHERE SOME PEOPLE ARE, THEY RUN
A BUSY SCHEDULE AND MAYBE THEY
GO RIGHT TO THEIR SUMMER
PLANTS. EVERYBODY'S. I BET 50
PERCENT OF OUR CURBSIDE PICKUPS
HAVE PANSIES ON AND I DON'T
KNOW WHAT FLOWER IS NEXT IN THE
PANS. THIS IS A LIST. AND IT'S
A GREAT FILLER PLANT. SO IF
YOU'RE BORED WITH PANSIES AND
YOU WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE
OF A PROJECT OUT OF IT, YOU CAN
GET SOME WILLOW STEMS SOME A
LISTEN TO DRAPE OVER. NICE
STUFF. ALL RIGHT. SO A LOT OF
PEOPLE THEY WANT TO GET OUT THE
HOUSE. THEY CAN'T SELL THEIR
GRILL. IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S
GOING TO BE IN THEIR BACKYARD.
YES. AND YOU KNOW WHAT
EVERYBODY'S WATCHING VIDEOS OR
GRILLING VIDEOS ONLINE AND
STUFF. SO SELLING. WE SEE AN
UPTICK IN CHARCOAL ALL TYPES
WHERE THERE'S LUMP CHARCOAL,
REGULAR WEBER CHARCOAL AND A
LOT OF GAS, A LOT OF PROPANE.
AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE I MEAN
BECAUSE YOUR STORY IS SO BIG
AND IT'S A LOT PEOPLE BUT
YOU'RE AT YOUR LOCAL FAMILY
OWNED STORE. YEP. AND SO YOU
KEEP THE DOORS OPEN FOR WHAT
REASON? I HAVE A LOT OF
EMPLOYEES. RIGHT. SO I MEAN AND
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY YOU WALK A
KIND OF A FINE LINE BECAUSE
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO DRAW A HUGE
CROWD. RIGHT. CANCELED
PROMOTIONS BUT YET WE WANT TO
BE OPEN ONE TO PAY OUR STAFF.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S
SOMETHING THERAPEUTIC FOR
PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND SEE
PLANTS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S
PEOPLE THAT I SEE THAT WILL
THEY WANT TO BE OUTSIDE SO THEY
WALK AROUND OUR GARDEN CENTER,
JUST LOOK AT TREES AND SHRUBS
WON'T EVEN BUY ANYTHING BUT
JUST IT'S THERAPEUTIC. THAT'S
GREAT. PASS SULLIVAN'S SULLIVAN
HARDWARE GARDEN UP HERE IN
NOBLESVILLE. NO BROADER POINT.
