Hello. My name is Wendy Thomas. I am new to Lynde Greenhouse and Nursery, but not new to gardening or working for a nursery. Like many others at Lynde, I have spent a lifetime doing what I love for a living. All the employees are what you might say "in their element". They are knowlegable, passionate, and eager to help you succeed in all your gardening and landscaping endeavors.
Over the next few weeks, my goal will be to share some of what is going on in my own garden and landscape, as well as here at Lynde Greenhouse, so you can continue to enjoy your gardens, lawns and landscapes. And don't forget the rewards.....beauty, flowers, food, sports, play, shade, home value....So be sure to check back and read about the adventures of the "Horticulturally Obsessed".

Still a Great Time To Plant.

Greetings gardening friends. We here at Lynde Greenhouse are still stocked here with plants for you to plant outside in your lovely yard. As most know summer can be hot and troublesome on plants. Proper watering and fertilizing is still a must. Some plants that have bloomed can be trimmed to promote a fuller plant. Prunning now will allow it to form buds for next year flowers. Dead heading perennial flowers is a good thing to do to. With the rise in temp the last week it has helped some plants but caused others to wilt and get a dose of sunburnt. Water in the early morning and mulch the roots to keep moisture there. Don't overwater in the heavier soils. Fertilizing can be added weekly at a half dose rate of Miracel Gro or Miracid depending on water ph and plant type. Keep on planting and if you have any questions please don't hestitate to ask.
Until next time, Donna
