New house plants? Check! No shelf space for all of them - it's our best selection ever - so they're lining the walls as well, and it's honestly a little dangerous to navigate our indoor space right now!

New veggie starts? Not just yet, but we'll have Brussels sprouts and a few salad greens in just a few weeks, and a neon-yellow Swiss chard by Thanksgiving or earlier.

Winter pansies? Other 4" goodies for fall/winter pots? Embrace the rainbow - come see our courtyard!

We have a new ad in The Stranger this week. It seemed like the most worthwhile local print publication for us to advertise in, and with the 12x frequency we bought we get a free online ad as well...

Fall, time to plant, time to divide

For years the nursery industry has been trying to get the message out that fall is about the best time for planting. It's not just to boost sales! Over the winter the roots continue to grow whenever the temperature is above 32 degrees so in spring you have an established plant. Also in the winter you don't have to water as much as you would planting in the spring.
This is also the best time to divide many of your perennials. We started working on our next years selection from our own personal collection. I've spent much of September dividing daylilies and some are ready to go now. So far we have: Towhee, Summer Wine (pictured), Cherry (pictured in previous blogg), Condilla (a semi-double), Velvet Red, Siloam 'Tiny Tim', Ice Carnival. If you're a daylily geek like myself then keep in mind we only have a limited number of these since they're not availabe from our grower. I've got lots more to do before I start tackling our huge hosta collection.
