We Have Birdbaths!

Add a little color to your garden with a colorful, glass birdbath. Any bird would be thrilled to take a dip in one of these beautiful bowls. And, if you decide it is too beautiful for the birds then let it dress your table top as a decorative piece. We have two sizes of stands to choose from 3 foot or 1 foot. When you stop in be sure to ask us about our solar birdbaths so your bowl can shimmer throughout the day and well into the night.

The March Garden

March is often considered the first month of spring here in the southwest, but it can be tricky as far as the weather is concerned.  We can have some beautiful sunny days in the seventy degree range, but then we can have hard frost without notice. 

You'll need to finish up winter pruning. Prune those winter stems and cut back overgrown shrubs and hedges. Bush and shrub roses will also need to be pruned in March to make way for a fuller and healther rose bush during the growing season.

It is still too early to plant annuals for color, but you can certainly get a head start on the lawns.  It is a good idea to mow the lawn and add organic fertilizer to the soil. This is also the best time to apply a pre-emergent to your lawn. Pre-emergents will stop seeds from germinating, therefore, it will control crab grass and other spring weeds. 

Be sure and stop in at our nursery on these spring-like days.  We are making some drastic improvements in the layout of our display garden to give you, our customers, a beautiful area to help you design and get new ideas for your own lawn and garden.  

New Season Approaching

February is the month for anticipation and March is the month for participation.  Spring is on the doorstep and new green shoots are preparing to burst into bloom.  On warmer days you can get out and tackle some winter pruning and on the cold and windy days, take the time to plan your spring garden.

It's true that the days are getting noticeably longer as well as feelings of anticipation of the new spring season.  It is a great time to wander around the yard and look at the buds beginning to swell.  It is tempting to want to sow some seeds, but don't get in a hurry--we can have some more very cold days and even some snow.  And even though our days are warming up, our nights are still very chilly.  Keep a watchful eye around town for the bright yellow Forsythia bushes, red Texas Quince, and the Pink Almond--they are usually the first color to burst here in eastern New Mexico.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Fat Tuesday is nearing and one cannot resist thinking about the delicious Cajun food that goes along with it. If you are a fan of Cajun food and love to grow your own herbs we can help you get started on your own Cajun spice garden.

Popular Cajun herbs that are easy to grow are oregano, basil, thyme, cayenne pepper, and paprika.

We will be getting our herb plants in around the end of April, but if you want to get a head start come in and check out our seed selection.  Seeds should be started indoors about 6 to 10 weeks before the last frost date which in Clovis is about April 20.

Starting your seeds in the next week or two will ensure your homegrown Cajun spice will be ready to use by barbeque season.
