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.
