TIME TO PLANT TENDER VEGGIES AND ANNUALS?

 

According to Bend lore, it is safe to plant when there is no snow on the south side of Black Butte. As many of us have learned through the years, be prepared to protect your plantings from that late, inevitable frost!

We suggest: Harvest Guard (row cover) to cover your tender seedlings. You will gain 5-7 degrees of protection.

Walls of Water are perfect for getting a jump on vegetable gardening.

WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR FIRST SPRING SHIPMENT OF STUNNING EVERGREENS!

GROWING YOUR OWN

Water is essential - Uniform watering is the key. Think about installing a watering system. It's not hard and we have everything you need.

FERTILIZER BASICS

 

Which fertilizer should you use? And when should you use it?

The most important nutrients for plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, often referred to as NPK. The

numbers listed on the fertilizer bag show total percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium respectively. These are known as the primary or macro "nutrients". Minerals used in very small amounts, but very important to plants, are known as micro nutrients. These include boron, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, and manganese.

 

NITROGEN has the quickest effect on plant growth. It is also lacking in our soils. Plants use a lot of nitrogen and it is easily leached from the plant root zone.

 

PHOSPHORUS is vital for root development, fruit and flower production. Our native soils have a small amount of absorbable phosphorus available to plants.



POTASSIUM comes primarily from potash. Potassium produces strong plant structure and increases resistance to stress and disease. Most of our native soils have a good amount of potassium available to plants.

GO WILD

WITH

WILDFLOWERS



Nothing is more stunning than a field filled with a variety of flowers and colors. We carry Beauty Beyond Belief Wildflower seeds that are packaged in Colorado. Every package is only seeds with no filler added. Wildflowers can be planted either in the spring or in the fall. Just loosen the soil up to 4 inches deep and scatter the seeds. Rake to cover the seeds and keep the area moist for best germination.

Many mixes to choose from including Central Oregon Mix, Deer Resistant Mix, and Drought-Tolerant Mix.
