Exciting times are here as
planting time is year
round in California! Flowers, shrubs, ground
covers are varied as the
colors. Our
daylilies are gorgeous,
Impatiens and Begonias in
spring are
rosy and lovely.
Summer brings fragrant
roses. Check them out,
take one home for your own;
we have an exciting,
colorful collection.
Heirloom Tomatoes,
2010's Freshest & Finest,
were amazing! Check out
our list for next year's
plantings. Summer is hot
hot hot right now; produce
in the gardens is
overflowing. Not to early
to start planning your
2011 vegetable garden. There
are wonderful varieties
of tomatoes with superb color to jazz
up your salads or dress up
your sandwiches. Click on the
name of each variety
below to see a photo
and description. You are
going to want them all!
The Nursery is a
happy place to be with
summer blooming shrubs,
verdant ground covers, and
hardy perennials of
many varieties. There is
an amazing array for your
summer selections. We
also have
lovely plant selections
for gifts:
amaryllis
bulbs,
beautiful, large blooms as
easy as adding water;
orchids, need good light
and cool nights and almost
any will bloom again and
again and again;
a blooming
bromeliad, plants
that look like the tops of
pineapples (they have
fantastic flowers sporting
wild reds, blues and
purples. Easy to care for,
provided you keep the
"well" formed in the
center by the leaves
filled with water. Most
will bloom again
especially if you enclose
the entire plant in a bag
with a cut apple next
winter. After 48 hours,
the ethylene gas given off
by the apple triggers
flowering in healthy
plants);
winter
blooming begonias with
small, heart-shaped leaves
and pink or red blooms;
blooming
primroses held
indoors during winter,
with a magical fragrance.
Plant outside later in
spring.
How
 about a
chocolate scented
flowering plant for an
exciting garden addition,
Chocolate
Cosmos! Fragrant
potted Gardenias speak of
love every time a flower blooms
with their white, wavy
petals. Delightful year
after year. Magnolias are
lovely and make a
sensational gift any time
of year. Come
and see what we have to
offer; lovely hardy plants
that will carry your
garden through to late
winter each year, and some
through to the following
spring.
Come
visit the nursery soon; walk through
and envision the fragrant, vibrant
plants that will bloom in
your spring and summer
gardens!
Our Bonsai
clinics are always lots of fun
and learning experiences. Hope to
see you at our next
clinic! Check our Clinic
page often for upcoming
garden events and classes.
Also check out
our
2010 fruit tree
list for new varieties
(or old favorites) for
your yard. Stop by the
nursery and see them close
up and personal. Deciduous
trees are bare in winter,
allowing you to see their
unique limb structures.
Stop by later this year to
see limb structure.
Consider citrus this year;
keep protected during
winter, maybe in a lovely
pot indoors!
Lovely blossoms, glossy
green foliage, and
delicious fruit--many
benefits! Keep these
instructions for later in
the year.

Trees
are
fun to select; we have many in
stock, stop by to see the
beauties; check our catalogs
in winter to see how they will
look in seasons in your garden.
Just come on by, you will
enjoy your visit.
Deer -
Stay ahead
of the deer -- they will
venture out for
food, in your garden!
They get hungry any time! There are
many repellants available.
Be ready for them; don't
share your hard-worked
garden produce! They adore
roses too! More on
Deer.
Houseplants -
Keep them well watered;
home air and heating can dry
them out. Give them a
Bayer plant spike to
protect them from insects.
Remember to fertilize.
Choose some new ones to
beautify your home during
any season.
.
Deer a problem? Fight
back with products like
Liquid Fence! Apply it
directly to your new
plantings, or anytime; it acts as a
barrier by affecting
deer's taste and smell
senses. Don't want to
spray your plants? Try Deer Scram! You sprinkle
it around your plants and
it protects for 1 month!
We also carry Plantskydd,
Shake away, garlic chips
and we even carry a deer
fencing that is
light-weight and easy to
install, and it lasts. It is 7
1/2 feet tall and you can
purchase it in any length.
We have had it around our
demo garden for 5 years! By
planning ahead, you can have
flower interest even through
the winter! Come by and
see our demo garden, lots
of interest and many
plants blooming. Changing
with the seasons, it is a
fun place to visit!
We have
4 different blends
of seed for lawns in our area,
Shade Blend, no Mow (for
a natural meadow look
requiring low water),
Bolero Plus, and 90-10. We
recommend using Bolero
fertilizer which is
formulated by the the sod
company for our part of
the country using special
micro nutrients to ensure
a healthy lawn.
They match most sod blends
too. Spring and fall are good
times to sow new lawns, or
repair patches in your lawn.
We have several soil
additives for every
scenario in your garden.
