Sunday mornings and afternoons are slow here at the nursery. Therefore we are changing our Sunday hours to 10-4, effective immediately. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Monday through Saturday hours remain 9-5.
June is starting off fairly cool this year but it will warm up at some point for sure. Be sure to increase the water for the warmer temperatures. Plants need additional water during spikes in temperature and during the summer. Tune up your drip systems if you haven’t done so yet. Remember that trees in particular like long deep soakings two to three times a week for deep rooting. Mulch around your trees and shrubs and you can easily cut the frequency of watering by half. The mulch holds the moisture in the ground instead of it evaporating.  Daily short watering on your tree will cause surface rooting. Deep soaking ensures deep rooting and the tree will stand the heat of the summer much better. Tomatoes, melons, and cucumbers are also going to do better with deep soaking less frequently than with daily short watering. If you are unsure of the amount of water a tree needs, we have a handout at the nursery which will tell you the amount of water per week needed based on the size of the tree. It is a great resource for those in doubt. June is the month for your second fertilizing of the …

We recommend it be done three times. In spring when things are in full leaf. Usually March, then again in June and then again in the fall. Usually September. Remember to always water your plants well the day before you are going to fertilize. Then fertilize the next day and water in well. Most items will benefit from 16-16-16. There are special fertilizers to use for citrus and for Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and Camellias. Also different fertilizing …
Fertilizing It’s time to get ready to start fertilizing. Almost everything should be fertilized soon. As soon as deciduous plants have their full set of leaves fertilizing should be done I’ve actually done it in timing with the rain and had the rain water it in for me. If the rains time themselves right, it makes it easy. Hopefully we get some decent rains in the next several weeks to help with that. For most plants you should use a balanced fertilizer or an all purpose fertilizer. The three numbers will be the same such as 16-16-16 or 5-5-5 for organics. When fertilizing trees and shrubs apply the fertilizer at the drip line and work it into the soil. Make sure the plant is watered well before applying the fertilizer and water the fertilizer in after application. We carry 16-16-16 in 33 pound bags priced @ $24.95. We have organic balanced fertilizer from DR. Earth in 12 pound and 50 pound bags as well as 4 pound boxes. We also carry a full line of organic fertilizer for all other fertilizing needs. Vegetable Gardens Prepare the soil with good amendments. Also incorporate into the soil a vegetable fertilizer and bone …

The fall weather is perfect! Just the past week or so it has gotten a bit cooler and we have had some nice rain. Two and a quarter inches since September here. The fall colors are really showing now. And it is still an excellent time for fall planting. Fall fertilizing should have been done by now. If you forgot to do it you can still do it if the plants have not gone dormant yet. If they are already in fall color and starting to lose leaves best to wait until spring. Dormant spraying of fruit trees will be coming up soon. This will be the first of three aplications. Make sure the trees have lost their leaves before spraying. Remember “Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day as dates to remember for the dormant spraying. Make sure to spray all three times to prevent leaf curl. Use copper spray and mix a dormant oil with it. We use copper and horticultural oil from Monterey mixed together with good results. The horticultural oil helps the copper to stick to the tree. It also helps to kill overwintering insects. Be sure to soak the tree all the way down the trunk and all …
