Preparing for fall -- already!

We're now past the mid-point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox and the weather projections say that we're past the extreme summer heat in our region. Looks like we can start our fall planting early, and with the variability of weather conditions in our area, getting plants in the ground early this season seems like a good idea.

In this post I cover questions we hear this time of year. Please enjoy the season and savor your garden's offerings. Blessings to you and your garden.

Buying Plants

Visit our nursery, order and pick up, or schedule delivery, see what options could work for you on our Buying Plants page. Note that we can only accept cash and checks at the nursery because we don't have cell phone coverage to process credit cards.

We are open for customers to visit without appointments during these times:

• Wednesdays 9-noon
• Fridays 9-5
• Saturdays 9-2

If you would like to schedule an appointment for another time, please contact us at least a couple days ahead of time. For your convenience, please do not visit at other times without a confirmed appointment.
