The Winter Gardener……………… The Holiday Celebration
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010
Ahhhhhhhhhhh it has been a while since I sat down a offered a little garden chat…….. sorry about that… As I hit the keyboard of my new (yes my laptop hit the compost pile… dang) computer the winter season has quickly rolled up on the calendar…… a fair amount of snow, a little frost, and the gardens are all gone….. sorry to see them go, but I must admit I do love the four seasons…… San Diego is not an option in my real estate search………… Hope you all had time to apply dormant sprays and top dress your favorite garden plots……. Fertilizing can still be done if you are a user of our Cold Climate or Cascade Natural (Natures Intent) as the winter moisture will help carry it into the soil………… I must say a lot of you have been applying Corn Weed Blocker and or Treflan to help suppress your weed population throughout the garden and landscape…….. if you don’t get it down before the weeds germinate…..(and believe me they will even when its freezing cold) you will most definitely have something to do come the spring season….. dang….
And on a holiday note don’t forget to slip out there and do a little pruning on some of our unique plants so as to have some material to make a handcrafted centerpiece of wreath… One for you and one for a special someone on your gift list……. Living trees seem to be pretty popular this year and we have a pretty good supply………… nothing to big but some very nice trees perfect for your “Green” Christmas tree……….. don’t forget to ask for a free tip sheet on caring for your “green” project….
As in past years Redmond Greenhouse is offering lots of special Holiday traditions….. Fresh-Cut Noble fir trees up to 12′, our mail order wreath program ($29.99), poinsettias, amaryllis, paper white narcissus, some new and great blooming plants we call our “poinsettia alternatives (see the Bend Bulletin “New Home Living” for the complete article….. written by… yours truly) costume snow flocking of trees, wreaths and branches, plus lots of exciting gifts and decor………………. Hey hey………… Happy Holidays
