Hello Fellow Gardens: Thank you for
everyone who attended our Labor Day party. The entertainment
was great, the mosquitoes busy. I want to remind you that the 50%
off trees and shrubs Is still on and we have a special reduction on 3
items. Our Globosa Blue Spruce and our Columnar Blue
Spruce in stock are now 70% off ($65.00). Several months ago, we
planted 500 bareroot Stella de'Oro daylilies and although still
small, they have established a good root system. Plant them now and
they will really take off next year. We are fall pricing them at
$2.99 per #1 pot size, regularly $7.00 next spring. Take advantage
of this sale to get a row of these ever bloomers planted now. The
weather predicted for this weekend is cool and possible showers, perfect
fall planting weather. Remember, we can continue planting through
October (or until the ground freezes). I am still waiting for my
tomatoes to ripen, I have the best looking plants ever but the tomatoes
have been slow to turn red. Here is what C.S.U. has to say about
this. tomato
Also, if you have a favorite tomato plant that you want me to grow next
year, be sure to let me know by the end of October for seed ordering
purposes. For those of you who signed up last weekend, check out our
fall garden to do list. CLICK

The road is now open both ways so that you can turn in here
coming from either direction. Mary |

Powdery
mildew
One of the most common diseases to occur in
Colorado. My Lilac on the south side of my house is covered with it
even though it receives no supplemental watering. Evidently lilacs,
roses, columbines and squash leaves are especially susceptible to it. It
is a fungus that grow well in arid climates such as ours. Several
weather or environmental conditions favor powdery mildew disease and we
have had most of them this year. If you also have a plant with this
problem, please remember to clean up and dispose of all leaves and
vegetable debris that falls to the ground in autumn.

This David
Austin rose is officially the World’s Favorite Rose,
according to rose aficionados in the 41 member countries that make up the World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS).
Rosa ‘Graham Thomas’ (Ausmas) becomes only the 14th rose in 33
years to win what many consider to be the rose world’s highest honor.
We have one on the entry trellis at the greenhouse and it never fails to
delight us with its blooms.
