Dig It!

I want to remind you of our upcoming changes for October…including the SALE

We will be going to reduced hours  

Sat/Sunday 10-5:30, other times by appointment-please call or email to confirm a time.

We will be closed on Thursdays/Fridays.

As we keep saying- Fall is The Best time to plant. 

Trees, shrubs, perennials-they all enjoy the cooler temperatures, combined with all the rain as it helps them to develop strong healthy roots systems, meaning they will be that much stronger in the spring, and summer. 

Remember trying to get new plantings established in the spring? All the watering, not knowing if they will make it? Try this- see if you notice a difference. 

We will be offering 50% off all perennials, shrubs and Natives for the month of October

We will exclude the usuals…not the Japanese Maples, Roses, and the Garden art or sculptures.

30% off all Vietnamese pottery

Some of our plants/ shrubs worth mentioning

Beautyberry- whose beautiful purple metallic berries literally glow in the light and last well into late winter 

Fuchsia’s- these gorgeous shrubs are still blooming like crazy and attracting all sorts of hummingbird action

Plumbago- is blooming in this incredible shade of blue with red and burgundy leaves, this shrub takes full sun, and is drought tolerant in good soil.

Canna’s- how about a bit of Tropical flair? Beautiful striped leaves and bright orange flowers- these are fantastic in containers.

Asters -  many varieties to choose from- Lady in black, Aster davaraticus is a woodland variety, Boltonia is a fabulous tall white that is very tough

We still have some winter veggies like Kale and some salad mixes,we also have Bay Laurel starts.

 
 
(AFTER SEPTEMBER 28TH WE WILL ONLY  BE OPEN
 SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS)
 
 
We have starts of Kale, Lettuce, Mixed greens ready to plant for
fall harvest,
also many herbs, including Chives, Tarragon and
Bay Laurel starts.
Harvest continuously to keep production going-
Beans, Cucumbers, berries, Kale, Brussels sprouts.
 
With all this rain and cooler weather it is a good time
to plant and transplant,
plants don’t go into shock, they can develop a deep and
healthy root system,
and be more established next year.
FALL is THE BEST TIME TO PLANT most perennials, vines,
and all trees and shrubs.
Time to plant …
Lavender, 
Rosemary, 
Echinacea 
Penstemon 
Aster (blooming and super cute!) 
Anemone 
Good time to seed new lawns, patch bare spots, and seed cover crops.
 
*Think about Erosion control/prevention by planting ground covers, including 
Deer fern
Tassel fern 
Sword Ferns 
Evergreen native Strawberry
Kinnikinnik  
Salal (think jam/jelly) 
Oregon grape (young leaves for salad-lemony flavor) 
Evergreen Huckleberry (think jam/jelly) 
Rosa Rugosa (jams/jelly) 
Myrica californica, 
Ceanothus -Evergreen and fast growing
Iris -native and non-native, form dense roots
Dogwoods
Twinberry
Cornus Candanensis (Ground cover dogwood)
miner’s lettuce
 
We have a huge selection of discontinued perennials and shrubs from $.50 - $15
great for filling in blank spaces and bare spots.
 
If you are composting, remember to use a pitch fork to aerate it and keep it damp,
that will help it break down.
I add Blood Meal to get it to really heat up, grass clippings will  do the same thing,
though you want to leave clippings on the lawn as much as possible to feed the soil.
Divide spring blooming perennials
Prune cane berries that have fruited
Start piling debris (cardboard, small branches, plant clippings, straw, compost, topsoil)
on chosen areas for new flower beds next spring
All this will be worked in for free by hard working WORMS who create RICH soil
for new gardens next year- how easy is that?
 
We sell COMPOST WORMS for $29lb. (red wigglers) to be used in Worm Factory,
 ours sell for $89 no s&h costs,
