Services
Fall is the start of the Camellia season.
Camellias provide year round beauty, with deep green glossy foliage year round plus beautiful flowers in fall, winter & spring, depending upon the variety.
Most prefer shade or semishade, but some can tolerate a fair amount of sun.
There are hundreds of different species, hybrids & cultivars of Camellias.
We offer a 100+ varieties of Camellias, ranging from old standbyes, to the rare & unusual types, such as Camellia sinensis--the plant that is used to make green teas & black teas--& Camellia oleifera, whose seeds are used to make a very fine oil (perfect for oiling down your samurai sword!)

Dormant spraying is an effective & relatively safe way to prevent many of the insect & disease problems that plague our gardens.
It's called dormant spraying because it applied to deciduous plants when they are dormant & leafless.
There are two types of dormant sprays.
Liquid copper (copper ammonium complex or copper octanoate) is an effective fungicide & bactericide.
Horticultual oil smothers overwintering insects & insect eggs.
Copper & oil can be combined & applied at the same time.
Peach leaf curl is best controlled with a dormant spray.

The age old question: When do I plant my tomatoes?
Heck, I don't know.
Every year is different.
Tomatoes do not like cold weather.
If they are chilled for a prolonged period of time, they may not die, but they may become stunted, or their growth may be slowed so that later plantings will overtake your earlier plantings.
You want to plant when your soil temperatures are at least 50, & preferably 55.
Raised planters generally warm up faster than the flat ground, especially if they have an unimpeded south or west facing exposure.
