Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungus which attach to plant roots to form a network which improves the uptake of nutrients available to a plant. Mycorrhizae are incorporated into the Espoma fertilizers to give your plants an extra boost. Mycorrhizae expand the effectiveness of nutrient and water uptake in a plant. These hyphae attach to the root hairs, extending the root structure by nearly two feet, thus extracting more nutrients and water and at a faster rate. They can also store nutrients and water, releasing them when needed.

Rumor has it that we’re open for the season. Well, it’s true! We’ve got regular hours now, Monday through Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 4.

Trucks of plant material will begin to roll in real soon and Cindy & Matt the Brit are busy bringing plants up from our growing area. (Our first truckload comes tomorrow! Yay!)... View Article

Do you have basil growing in your garden yet? Get out there and harvest it… immediately. Basil is very sensitive to cold. I love to bring it in, pick... View Article

It’s me again with the same emergency message as last time: PLEASE KEEP WATERING!!! It is so dry, and getting dryer. There’s no prediction of rain in the near future. It is very important to keep plants hydrated in the fall. Don’t give up. Even if leaves have dried up and fallen off prematurely it doesn’t mean the plant is dead. There’s still life in the plant. It may just sit there looking ‘sticky’ until next spring. It’s been especially hard on Hydrangeas. They need plenty of water because of their huge flowers and they’re just not getting enough. So...

Hi there tree lovers, Look around. It looks like FALL but it shouldn’t yet. Trees are getting their fall color and some are turning brown. But it’s a little early and it’s a sign of stress. If you have planted a new tree or shrub this year, please, please, please get out the hose and turn on the water. Deep water! Thoroughly soak your prized possessions. We keep getting just small amounts of rain, but it hasn’t been enough to soak way down into the deep root area. As I drove around today and looked around I am getting a... View Article
