Food for Thought…and Healthy Plants

As the ground warms up during the spring and summer, plants and grasses stretch their roots further into the soil to search for additional nutrients.  If they can’t find all of the nutrients they need, their growth becomes stunted. You can assure that your plants receive vital nutrients by providing fertilizer.  Fertilizer can give your plants the extra boost they need as they grow and expand and help them thrive in the hot summer days to come.  Fertilizing several times a year also helps combat the stresses of nature on urban and suburban landscapes.

A Gardener’s New Year’s Resolutions

First, let me be clear – I don’t make New Year resolutions! Quite a few years ago I realized going through that annual exercise was a futile attempt to change overnight – something that isn’t all that realistic for me. I vowed to lose 10 pounds more often than I care to remember; it was no easier in January than in the other 11 months of the year!

Tending a Greenhouse

Greenhouse gardening is similar in many ways to gardening outside. The plants still need adequate nutrients and water, and protection from insect pests and diseases. You still must tie, prune, and tend to them.

Happy holidays from our GreenScapes team

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape- the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show. – Andrew Wyeth As hard as it is to believe, another winter beckons on the doorstep. As 2012 quickly becomes a blur, just remind yourself that in due time we will all enjoy the scent of Crab-apple blossoms on the breeze and the sunny sights of Daffodils and Tulips.
