HOW TO GET ROSES READY FOR THE WINTER MONTHS?

ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!

In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru recommended some things that we should do to protect our roses for the winter months. Lynn mentioned that what you really need to assess if your roses are “grafted” or “not grafted” before you decide. 

Once this is established, then you will know how much to protect your roses. Listen to Lynn’s tip to see which way to go with your roses.

POINSETTIA UPDATE!   

I cannot believe it is already the end of October. The Poinsettias have over-taken the greenhouse. It is amazing how much they have changed in the last two weeks.  They are now requiring more and more space. When one envisions a Poinsettia, what comes to mind is a plant with dark green leaves and bright RED bracts. The poinsettias of today, come in so many colors and shapes that it is almost impossible to choose just one. We grow many in different sizes and colors.

Below are some samples of the colors we have today. This year we are growing 23 varieties. Because we grow our poinsettias in-house, many of the churches in Northern New Mexico and others choose to book their poinsettias with us. They place their orders early to make sure they will get what they want for the holiday season. We will care for the plants until they take possession. It is much better to adjust an order then to place an order too late. If there are particular colors or sizes you are interested in, I suggest you come in and see what we have to offer, like Christmas Mouse or an old-fashion variety like Marble. 

HAPPY GARDENING!

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:


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22 )
Libra begins the fall. Because of your concern for beauty, flowers of all kinds abound in your garden. Color is important to you: Ranges from bright to subtle will be artfully placed throughout your decks and patios. You are not particularly fond of getting your hands dirty, so look for the local nursery truck to make frequent visits all summer long. Flowering bushes and trees will be tucked along fences and borders nestled in their beds of mulch. You always want to make a favorable impression; pansies and nasturtiums appear in your salads and roses, and lilies adorn your dining room table.
