Payne’s just received a shipment of the biggest and best quality Amaryllis bulbs.
Amaryllis are one of the easiest bulbs to bring to bloom. Try your hand at planting these bulbs indoors in pots NOW so that you will have them in bloom for Christmas, New Year’s or Valentines.
Once the bulb has bloomed, it can be kept in the pot and allowed to grow like any other houseplant. This will allow the Amaryllis bulbs to bloom on its own cycle as opposed to being forced to bloom for the holidays.
Stop by either location and get yours today! Many colors to choose from! Hurry in, these will be going fast! Last year we ran out and had to order more.
IS MULCHING IN NOVEMBER RECOMMENDED FOR GETTING READY FOR THE WINTER MONTHS!
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru said that it really is a great idea to mulch your plants right now in the Fall to get ready for the winter months! It helps to moderate the temperatures during the day and night.
Lynn mentioned that there are two types of mulch to use. Either decorative or functional. If you want to dress up your garden, then that’s when you use decorative mulches like pecan shells or bark nuggets. If you want to use something functional … well you will need to listen to the Garden Guru’s tip and find out when to use the functional mulch!

POINSETTIAS and the COLD DON’T MIX!
We get many customers wanting to buy poinsettias to line their driveways and/or place them outside their front doors. They assume that poinsettias can handle the cold because many have them outside, but not here, not at 20 degrees Fahrenheit. What they are seeing is artificial plants. Poinsettias prefer temperatures above 65 degrees and will die if they are left outside, especially overnight.
If you need something to plant or place right outside by the front door, consider a small pine or boxwood. Drop them into your current ceramic pots or decorative plastic pots. Add some holiday decorations if you want. Done. We have these and also have other evergreen shrubs that will fill the need.
Customers assume our prices are higher than the national retailers but they are not. These retailers have close to 2,000 sister stores across the country. They negotiate prices for all their stores, not just those they have locally. Much of what they carry will not survive our crazy weather. We, at Payne’s have just two stores, one on St. Michael’s Drive and one on Camino Alire. The national retailer will expect you to make your poinsettia purchase and take it home right away. We will hold your poinsettias until you are ready for them, closer to Christmas. Come see the many varieties we have. Thank you for supporting a local business.
HAPPY GARDENING!

The short answer is no, but we have some tips from our growers in The Netherlands to give you more confidence in getting that last planting in the ground before winter.
In areas where day temperatures remain in the forties and fifties, this is the perfect time to plant. Bulbs prefer cooler temperatures to form their roots. Once your bulbs are planted, make sure to water them enough to provide adequate moisture in the ground … to jump start root growth. For best results, plant bulbs such as daffodils, which are also deer resistant.
For those of us living in more northern parts of the United States, as long as the ground is workable you can still plant. You want to be able to dig easily into the ground and plant at least five inches deep so bulbs have some protection from our colder days and nights.

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – 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.
