Good Afternoon Great-Gardeners,
How is your garden today? Mine has a few weeds, but that is to be expected this time of year. Like they always say,
" A good garden may have some weeds." ~ Thomas Fuller
It is time to start thinking about cooler weather. If you have not gotten your cole crops planted, now is the time.
Fall mums are out for sale for those who want to get started early on replenishing their garden for fall.
If you have not been out recently to the store, the display gardens are in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous. Lisa has been doing an amazing job of taking care of them. I love to walk through them first thing in the morning before the store opens.
In this issue, easy to care for shrub roses, over wintering plants in containers and links to toxic and non toxic plants for pets.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. As always, have a great-gardening day.
Sincerely,
Holly

| Easy To Care For Shrub Roses |
|
Shrubs roses are one of the easiest roses to care for. They bloom all summer, are great for creating borders around your yard, and planted in mass they create a stunning look. Best of all they require very little pruning making more time for fun and less work.
We have several varieties of shrub roses in stock, but three of Katrina's favorites are as follows. |

| Over Wintering Perennials & Shrubs In Containers |
|
This past week, we have responded to many phone calls regarding whether or not you can over winter perennials, fruits, trees and shrubs in containers.
When overwintering plants above ground there is a greater chance of injury and death due to temperature fluctuations and an increased chance of the plant drying out. However, there are precautions a gardener can take to help increase the plant's odds for survival.
For best success follow the instructions below:
- Look for an area that stays between 32 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit such as an unheated garage or shed. Do not over winter plants inside a greenhouse or other warm place. They need the dormancy period in order to rejuvenate for the coming year.
- Give the plants water before placing them inside. You will need to water once every few weeks during the winter to keep the soil from drying out.
- Wait until perennials,fruits and shrubs have gone dormant. This usually begins after the first good frost. Then move them inside.
- For trees, place them against the house or protected area away from winter winds. The east or northeast side of the barriers works well.
- Protect the soil from freezing by placing bags of mulch or straw around the base of all the pots. The better protected the soil is from freezing the better your chances for survival.
- In late March/early April, move containers back outside. Make sure to watch weather alerts for possible hard freezes.
There is no guarantee that your plants will survive the winter in their containers, but this will give them the best chance. |

| Toxic & Non Toxic Plants For Pets |
|
We are all aware how cats and dogs love to chew on things that may not necessarily be good for them, including our favorite plants.
When this happens, it is good to know what ones may pose a threat and if you need to take any action.
The websites below offer a list of toxic and non-toxic plants for pets.
* If a plant is not listed and you are unsure of its toxicity contact your vet.
Many plants on these lists are only mildly toxic and a very large amount would have to be ingested to even become a threat.
Some are more poisonous and awareness or steps to avoid a poisoning incident may be in order.
If you find one of your plants listed as toxic, you can, place the plant out of reach or block off the area making it inaccessible to your pet.
Another idea may be to use a pet repellent such as Cat & Dog Stopper or Dog & Cat Scram. These products are available in our garden center and may help deter pets away from plants that are listed as more dangerous. Just follow the directions on the back of the packages.
Take a few minutes now to get to know your plants. With a little knowledge you can have your plants and keep your pets healthy, too.
