State Fair time.

Hi. We will be working at the State Fair this year at the MNLA area outside the Hort building this coming Saturday from Noon to 3:00pm. Come check it out.
Greetings from the Nursery. I am sure all are enjoying the wonderful summer weather. Looking around here I see plenty of color. The mums are in bloom. The dwarf sunflowers are blooming as are other flowers in the greenhouse.
Outside we have a sale on perennials that gives you a great deal on them at 50% off. Now is a great time to plant perennials with the time to set roots for fall and become happy in your yard. Soon we will have bare root Peony's with the offer to you to purchase bare root verses potted for a cost affective save. Trees and shrubs are now 30% off. A shipment of some more plants are arriving this week. Hydrangeas and Barberries. Standard Euonymus and others to brighten your yard. Stop on in and check them out.
No pruning or fertilizing of perennials, shrubs, or trees is recommended til it freezes. Fertilizing of annuals is a giving at this time of year. Be careful not to fertilize any plant when it is dry for the change of burning the roots is very high when one does that. Water well and water deeply.
Until next time. Plant a tree save the air.

The mums have filled the greenhouse.

We've got the mums in and they are blooming. Great fresh looking fall arrangement as well as plants spruce up your pots. No hardy perennial mums this year but plenty of the fun fall mums are here.
Soon it will be time for fall garden work. Trimming off old flower head on perennials is good to do now to keep them blooming longer. Soon your spring blooming plants like Iris and peonies can be dug up and divided. Other fall bed care can be started. Amending beds with peat moss and compost is always a good thing to do at this time. We will be caring bare root peonies for a short time in early Sept. so keep an eye out I will post when they are in.
With the recent weather has brought more leaf problems to peoples attention. Some can be taken care of with the application of insectied or a fungicide. In lots of the cases it is a 2 year process to get rid of the problems once it starts. Disposing of problems leaves so as not to have the problems over winter in the leaves and spread to next year. Preventative action is always best. When in doubt just ask. Remember to bring in a ample size sample when bring one in. A sample of a leaf attached to the branch is best. A foot long if possible and a picture too. We will help with what we can.
Until next time, Remember in order to stop an smell the flowers someone needs to plant them there first.

More plants have arrived.!!!!

Hi all,
To all that I told off the Hydrangeas and the Autumn Blaze Maple trees well they are here. White Diamond, Lime Light, Annabell, Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas are in. Large Autumn Blaze Maple and Fall Fiesta Sugar Maple and Clump for Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry, Clump form in Japanese Tree Lilac and a single Golden Eclipse Lilac too.

It will be Thursday. A few Autumn Blaze Maples and some other trees as well as a NEW barberry you just have to see.

Stop in and Check us out.!!!!!!!

Shrubs on SALE.

Greetings,
We just got in a new shipment of shrubs and some trees too. Hydrangea Trees and shrubs. The shrubs are now all 25% off til Friday. We have weekly sales so don't wait or the plants may be gone as well as the sale. Perennials are looking good and are also on sale. My pick of the week is the Heuchera, Plum Pudding. Works well in part sun and gives you that great purplish-burgundy color to the shade gardens we all want. Color color. Keep up the fertilizing on your plants til mid August. Root Stimulator on newly planted plants is excellent to get the roots growing and established without all the transplant shock you can have planting at this time of year. Applied every other week til established makes for a great root system and a better plant for years to come. We are here to help you with your gardening needs. Have a safe and fun summer.

Perennials are all ON SALE.

Thats right all the perennials are now all 25% off. Stop on in an see the selection. Lots of different sizes and variteis to choose from.
TREES are 33% off and going fast.
Never to late to plant.

Rain and sun.

The weather has turned on the damp side for a bit but will dry up and become warm again. May Night Saliva and Cardonna Saliva are now in full bloom; they are the deeper purple flowers spikey looking. Peonies are almost done blooming,and yet their foliage adds a nice visual interest all season. Nepeta Walkers low is the lavender purple flower that is blooming now with bluish foliage. Weigelas are in bloom too and can accent most any yard. Our shrub roses are in full bloom with mixtures of colors and heights to choose from. Please remember to water and fertilize all your plants though out the entire growing season for best color and flowers.
Now to the nasty bugs that seem to be invading some of the trees and shrubs. I have had several people in within the last week with Nipple Gull on Maples and Hackberry. The good thing is it will NOT kill the tree but it will stress the tree. Clean the leaves up in the fall and destroy, this pesky bug overwinters in them. The best and easiest treatment is to treat with BONIDE Tree and Shrub Insect control with systemaxx. This is the same product you can use for the Emerald Ash Borers too. Easy and affective applied now or sooner. Mix in a gallon of water and water in 2 feet away from the trunk of the tree and that's it. With the weather as it has been fluctuating plants are bound to get something if not cared for properly.
Remember the Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago the 2nd best time is NOW.

Great time to PLANT.

As the weather warms the time for planting is here. We at Lynde Greenhouse have a wide assortment of plant material that is in full bloom right now and ready to be planted. The lilacs, Weigelas and fern leaf Peony's look great. Potentilla and spireas make a great foundation plant in full sun and give you a great look all season. Evergreens give you color year round and this year we have a great selection to choose from. Lots of new golden shade of Junipers and unique forms to choose from as well. The shrub roses will be blooming soon and so will the Mockorange shrubs. We have 3 types of Mockorange this year and lots of shrub roses to choose from too. The perennials are doing great too, several sizes to choose from.

Happy Arbor Day. Plant a tree.!!!!!!

• Today is Arbor Day and a fine day it is. The trees are in add as a added plus are on SALE til Friday the 23 of April. We are caring lots of kinds to fill your yard. Fruit trees too are on sale too and we have Apples, Cherry, Plum and Pear to choose from. Flowering crab trees as well as other smaller ornamental trees.
• Perennials are getting ready and we are slowly bringing them down from the greenhouses to the sales lot. We have 6 greenhouses full of perennials so I hope I have enough. But time will tell. Some of the peony's are blooming and the bleeding hearts are in bloom too. Stop in and check us out.
• In the greenhouses we have annuals blooming, Clay pots and other things for your yard. We also have Bulk soils and mulch for your to purchase or have delivered.
• The great scare on the Emerald Ash Borer is something that has not hit our town yet. We at Lynde care about our customers and will try to answer questions you may have. The product to treat your tree with is in and can be applied now. It is very simple just mix with gallon of water and poor around the tree base. Emerald Ash borer is a tricky bug it attacks not only sick trees but healthy trees as well so if you want to keep your trees (which I am sure you do) please keep em healthy and treat them with Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub insect control. This needs to be done yearly unless you have someone inject with injection product which can last up to 3 years at best. Or you can do what I am doing since I now have 4 large 30+ year old Ash trees in my yard I am deciding which I'd like to keep and which one is going first and planting something new.
• Stop in and check us out. We are here to help and make your yard a fun place to come home to.

The trees and shrubs are here!!!!!

Yes you read right the TREES and most of the SHRUBS have arrived and they is another semi load coming in the morning. We are caring lots of different and new trees and shrubs. This year we have trees in several sizes and lot of varieties to choose from. The fruits are in too along with some Pear and Cherry trees too. Please stop in and check it out. Please do realize that the trees and shrubs are just coming out of dormancy so they will not be leafed out for a bit. They are safe to plant now. Start here for all your planting needs.
We will help you with your landscaping. Oh the Pansies are so pretty now and the other annuals are getting flowers to. Perennials are starting and will be ready real soon.
Until later. Stay happy plant a plant. Donna

Spring is in the air.

All are busy here at the Greenhouse getting things ready for the big day of March 29. I am sure you have the urge to get out and plant with the weather being so nice but please wait a few more weeks to do so. I say the time to start yard work is when all the snow is gone and then wait 10 days and then if it doesn't snow its OK to do things in the yard. Until then you may come in and browse and see what we have. One thing that all can do is plan what you'd like to plant or have planted by us. Trees can be trimmed now but be careful not to try anything out of reach. The Maple Grove compost center will be opening real soon. Easter lilies and showy Hydrangeas and Tulips will be ready for Easter. Keep us in mind and if you have any question please do not hesitate to call or stop in.
Until next time, Keep smiling.

From The Greenhouse

Plants & shipments are coming in daily now. Lots of plants getting planted and greenhouses getting filled up. The Easter lilies are showing their buds and will be blooming by the end of the month. Daylight savings is a week away and spring is around the corner. This will be a busy year caring for plants all the way until Christmas. We're planting more fall mums this summer then we ever have. So we will go through spring right into summer and fall with no slowing down until Christmas. Get your garden plans going; it will be here sooner then you think. I'll be back with updates the next time I get a brake from watering and planting.

Plants are growing.

Well the time is here at the greenhouse when all are active at getting all the plants potted up, sowed and what not. Just getting everything ready for our spring opening. The baskets are being filled with plants, the pots are being filled with plants and the greenhouses are getting filled. So much to do before we open up at the end of the month. Perennials are getting planted up and starting to look good too. Pat is getting the store all spruced up with lots of new and fun things. You will be so amazed when you walk in the door. Easter lilies are getting nice as well. Well, there just so much to do. Must get back to work. I will try to keep you informed on the new things happening. Or just call or stop in end of March and see for yourself.
Until later - Donna and the gang.

The Sun is Out!

What a beautiful day with the sun shining-even though it's soooo cold outside. It was -4 degrees F when I left my house this morning. That sun though just brightens up the day and makes it a little more cheerful! The other day a huge piece of ice/snow fell off the roof and smashed the Sumac outside my window. It scared me out of my seat and I'm hoping it'll come back this spring. It's a Tiger Eye Sumac and always gives off a lot of great color during the growing season!

New Website!

Guess what??? We're getting a new website!!! It'll be great with a soil calculator, great photos, and even a plant database to find out about all kinds of plants! We can't wait!

From The Greenhouse

Well here we are with a new year upon us. And boy do I wish I was still in Maui. The Easter lilies are coming along. Most all of them have emerged and are about 5" tall so far. Easter Mums and Hydrangeas are in and getting greener every day. We have also received spikes and our Pillar Geraniums for this season. Things are still on the slow side for now. We won't be getting busy till sometime in February. I will be writing up our Lynde Design receipts for those that will be planting them in March. That way they'll know where the plant placement is in the pot. It's also time to look through your plant catalogs and start planning and ordering. Keep dreaming of warm summer days.
