Hi there! You know what the first topic of conversation will be……again….. Water, water, water. We’re now going on 4 months of little to no rain. We did get a third of an inch last night which is a drop in the bucket. Maybe more tonight. These are stressful times for everything green. Please get out there with your water! We’ve been getting dribs and drabs that don’t help at all. So, thorough soaking is necessary for all of your precious ones, newly planted as well as established ones. Now we can move on to bugs.

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.

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

Hi There, Well, finally we are getting some fall. It’s been a very weird year weatherwise. We’ll just sit tight and see what is coming next. This may be your last chance to pull in your houseplants. Before you bring them inside, spray them off with the hose or you can give them a spray with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to get any critters that are trying to hitchhike in. 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
