WHAT’S BLOOMING IN SANTA FE NOW!
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!

From the Payne’s Garden Guru radio archives, as far as what’s blooming in Northern New Mexico – the Garden Guru said that he has been seeing Lilacs all over town!
Lilacs are also one of those plants that have the popularity through the ages almost as long as roses have. Most of the Lilacs that are grown in New Mexico today come from the common Lilac of Europe — even though several Lilacs are bred in the US we collectively call these Lilacs – French Hybrids! These hybrids come in every color from purple and blue and pink and white and everything in between — and some of them are fragrant some are more fragrant than others! Listen to Lynn’s tip about the Korean Lilacs and what is so special about this particular variety!

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
TAURUS (APRIL 21 – MAY 20)
Taurus settles, or deepens, the spring. Practical and value-oriented, you like consistency and stability. Your garden preferences are also deeply rooted: Carrots, beets, potatoes, and turnips appeal to you and flourish under your care. With your heightened sense of taste and touch, you prefer comfort foods to faddish fare. All forms of potatoes (chips, fries, baked, or mashed) might be found as staples of the evening meal. You love to feel the earth under your feet and will kick off your shoes whenever possible. Taurus likes the tried-and-true, so heirloom varieties of plants that bloom in any color grace your gardens.
