Dayton "Dirt" September 18, 2009

Well, tomorrow is the day of the BIG festival! As I stated in my September 11th blog, I’ll be driving the tractor or RTV to give the hayrides.

You can bring the whole family as we’ll have animal shows, food vendors and other interesting activities for adults and children.

Besides the festival, the nursery will be open for business as usual with a good stock of trees and shrubs many of which are on a 50% off sale.

Please remember that everything is not on sale as much of what is in stock just came from our production areas or we just brought in to sell either now or next spring.

One new plant we have in stock is the new Lilac called Bloomerang. I’m not kidding that’s really its trade name.

The name is a reference to the fact that the lilac blooms heavy in spring (about May 20th) and then repeats the splendor throughout the summer.

Just be aware that the repeat of the bloom is not as heavy as the spring bloom but still heavy enough to delight the eye (and nose) with its repeat performance.

Many of you brought a mail order clipping to me about a repeat blooming Lilac called ‘Josie’ so that I went out to search for it and found its cousin ‘Bloomerang’.

Bloomerang Lilac is only one of many of a parade of new plant varieties that will be appearing at the nursery next spring.

Our perennial line will be exploding along with our Clematis varieties and we’re making a big push for new annual flowers that will amaze you next spring.

Now, I just have to figure our where we’re going to display all of the new stuff!

See you tomorrow after I do the radio show!
