THINGS I CHERISH DURING THE HOLIDAYS!
As the holidays near, I see everyone stressing over decorating their homes so that they are perfect when family and friends come. I have had customers racing in last minute for a poinsettia or an amaryllis as they need a hostess gift plus they still need to make several other stops before heading home.
Breathe, Breathe.
The holidays should be a time to reflect on the past year and enjoy quality time with the family.
In Northern New Mexico, in addition to decorating our homes for the holidays, we also focus on catching up with family. No matter whose home you go to, you will be greeted with a bowl of posole, some tamales, empanadas and Biscochitos. A win-win situation.
This year we have seen tornadoes, floods and fires. All of these events impact what plant material we can get and when. The poinsettias, no problem, we have been growing them since July. We do have some cactus left but these come from Florida and many of our suppliers lost inventory due to the storms.
Thank you all for supporting a local business. Payne’s has been a family run business in Santa Fe for over 70 years. We love that you come to us for your gardening needs and look forward to you coming in to see what we will be growing for Spring and Summer.
Breathe, Breathe.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
A WEEK AND A HALF LEFT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS … IS THERE STILL TIME TO DECORATE?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived Garden Guru segment from previous years … the Garden Guru mentioned how it is a tradition for a lot of families to wait until Christmas Eve to do all of their decorating. Lynn said that Payne’s still has some live trees, fresh-cut trees and other greens still available, to assist with the decorating but they are going fast. Plus, he said that there are plenty of Poinsettias to choose from and many colors as well!

HAPPY GARDENING!
Payne’s is pleased to offer White Fir Christmas trees for this holiday season! These are classic trees are freshly harvested, and have a woodsy scent. With soft, silvery-blue needles and strong branches, they’re perfect for holding ornaments of all shapes and sizes.
Their pyramid shape and lush, layered branches give them a full, festive appearance, making them a beautiful centerpiece for your holiday decor.
Payne’s recommends purchasing your CUT TREE now and putting it in the garage or outside in the shade in a bucket of water and keep it watered until you are ready to bring it indoors and decorate!
Before you place your cut tree in your stand, make a fresh cut at the base so that the tree can absorb water.
Nothing brings the feel of Christmas to a home more than FRESH mountain greenery! This year, Payne’s has Douglas Fir and Frasier Fir wreaths and garland!
HURRY IN! These FRESH greens are very popular and will go quickly!

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21 )
Sagittarius ends the fall. The seasons are about to shift again, so the expectation of change is part of your personality. With Jupiter (the largest planet in the solar system) as your ruling planet, you are partial to plants that grow bigger: Azaleas, rhododendrons, and rosemary fill the bill here. Giant sunflowers as well as beans and peas that climb tantalize your soul. You are fond of action and the outdoors; plants that spread out and seem wild and free excite you. Look for lily-of-the-valley or patches of mint in your garden. Quick and easy meals such as salmon and salad grace your dinner table, and popcorn is your regular snack.
