and here comes December……
With Thanksgiving day in our rear view mirror, off we go to the wonderful month of December. I hope all of you had a meaningful and satisfying day. Meanwhile back in the garden the last of the leaves are slowly falling from trees and shrubs. Check and make sure your lawn does not need one more clipping before the winter season settles in. Still time to apply some of our organic lawn fertilizer to all your grass. We have lots of organic “manure free” compost to top-dress empty beds. Three inches would be best. If you have leftover carrots, parsnips, beets. or other root crops still in the soil make sure to insulate them with straw of some other mulching material to ensure no freeze damage when the mercury drops.
If you are contemplating a “living” tree for the upcomming Christmas, now is a GREAT time to make your choice. Redmond Greenhouse has a pretty nice selection for you to choose from with prices starting at just six dollars. Some of the smaller selections make excellent table top choices as well as childrens bedrooms. Spraying your trees with “Moisturine” if “WiltPruf” will make a HUGE difference in terms of overall health and well being!
Our first load of “fresh-cut” Noble Firs just arrived. We focus on larger trees if you are in the hunt. This group of trees was cut Thanksgiving week from our grower in the Silver Creek Falls area. As in past seasons we are still offering custom “Snow Flocking” if you are interested in that “Winter” look.
Enjoy the weather and all the moisture we have been getting. Rake the leaves, take time to smile, and share a hand with someone in need….. Doug
