Chatty stuff: Have you finished planting your
summer garden? Hope so, cuz guess what? It’s time to think about planting for
Fall & Winter harvest. See the attached file from Territorial
Seed.
Today Granny is finishing her summer garden & planted
carrots, cilantro seeds, pumpkin seeds – not sure if they will be ready in time
but worth the experiment. This afternoon I’ll plant some aster & zinnia
plants. Maybe I’ll have fresh flowers for the Canyonville Farmer’s Market.
This morning I picked about 5 #’s shelling peas. MY FAVORITE!
Bruce has started Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, lettuce, and
more so plants will be available in about 3 weeks. The Fall & Winter seeds
have come to the Garden Shoppe.
Plants available: Still have 1 Gal. tomato plants, peppers, squash, melons &
herbs. No place to plant a tomato? We have tomatoes in 5 Gal. pots for you.
New
Arrivals: Mandevilla, Bougainvilla,
Star Jasmine, Canna, Hot Lips salvia, Gerbera daisies, Dahlias, and a final
shipment of summer annuals.
Pick up a 6 pack of Red, White, & Blue petunias for Fourth of July Decorating.
STRAW! Yes, we have
a limited amount of straw bales for mulching. only $7.00
each.
Coming Soon: New Fairy Garden items have been ordered. Look for mini cats,
dogs, skunks & raccoon, and flip flops, beach umbrellas & flamingos in
Fairyland soon.
Garden Party: Saturday, July 26, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Come listen to Rainy &
the Rattlesnakes and watch Granny & Bruce dance.... Also wine from Wild Rose
Vineyard & food from Javelin of Promise Natural Foods. There is a $6.00
cover charge to pay for the music & $1.00 of each ticket will be donated to
the Canyonville Community Center renovation. Commonwealth Garden Shoppe
will match whatever is raised and donate it to the renovation.
Advice from Granny:
Remember to fertilize your hanging baskets for continual bloom. Use organic
liquid from Down To Earth or Miracle Grow. A little Soil Soup Tea will help,
too.
Soooooo
Come see Granny dancing in the garden.
