WE GROW OUR OWN POINSETTIAS!

Posted on

When you pick up a poinsettia from Payne’s, you’re getting a plant we actually grew here—not something that got shipped in from who knows where and sat in a box for days. That matters more than people think. Our plants go from the greenhouse to your house without the stress of long-distance trucking, temperature swings, and all that handling. 

They’re hardier, they last longer, and they are already used to the local climate. 

Whether you’re decorating your space or looking for thoughtful seasonal gifts, Payne’s has you covered.

WHY IS IT CALLED A CHRISTMAS CACTUS?

The Christmas cactus is a long-time holiday favorite, and it’s easy to see why. Its bright, trailing blooms show up right when the season begins, and the pinks, whites, oranges, and reds bring such a warm burst of color to winter days.

One of the nicest things about a Christmas cactus is how simple it is to care for. It actually prefers softer light and a regular drink of water, so it fits right in during the hectic holidays without asking for much in return.

Over time, these plants can become real family keepsakes. Many people pass them down from one generation to the next, and their dependable holiday blooms and graceful, arching stems make them a charming part of the season every single year.

WHAT TO DO NOW IN THE GARDEN THAT IT’S ALMOST THANKSGIVING!

Posted on

Final harvest and cool-weather vegetables:

With the first frost typically occurring in late October, Thanksgiving is your last chance to harvest frost-tolerant vegetables. 

  • Harvest these crops for your Thanksgiving meal or to preserve for winter:
  • Kale
  • Collards
  • Spinach
  • Swiss Chard
  • Carrots and parsnips (they can be sweeter after a light frost)
  • Beets
  • Turnips
  • Protect crops like beets, carrots, and Swiss chard with a heavy row cover to extend the harvest season, potentially until Christmas. 

Winter garden preparation and care:

As the growing season ends, several tasks are essential for putting your garden to bed and setting it up for success next spring. 

  • Clean up beds. Remove old or diseased vegetable plants to clear space and prevent pests and diseases from overwintering.
  • Add compost. Top-dress your beds with compost to build soil health and nutrients for the next season.
  • Plant cover crops. For any exposed soil, planting a cover crop like winter wheat or rye will protect and enrich the soil throughout the winter.
  • Mulch. Applying a 2–3 inch layer of mulch is recommended. This will insulate plant roots, prevent erosion, and retain moisture. Call Payne’s Organic Soil Yard for recommendations at 505-424-0336.
  • Protect new plantings. Water new trees and shrubs thoroughly after planting and apply mulch around the base. Continue watering during dry or windy spells until the ground freezes.

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.

Posted on

by The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 to NOVEMBER 22)
Scorpio deepens the fall. Always having a plan, you make sure that successive plantings of snap peas or lettuce grace your gardens. You are the strongest member of the zodiac and thus are attracted to vigorous plants such as Swiss chard, which regrows when cut. Tomatoes appeal to you for the color red, and eggplants for their affinity with purple. Being sexy and passionate, you are captivated by exotic lilies, with their deep, nectar-coated throats. You like a challenge, so sushi and Thai foods are often on the menu in your kitchen.
