Friday is the first day of our fall sale with many items (but not all) marked down 50%. Almost all perennials, roses, some trees and shrubs are in the sale and those that are not are from this spring’s and summer’s production so that these plants are for next spring’s sales although they can be sold this fall. As always, the first four days of the sale will only be open to garden club members only and then everyone may take advantage of the sale prices after Labor Day. Many items are limited so that on Friday , many or most desirable specimens probably will be sold.
How strange it is that even the Igloo mums are barely showing color as these Dendranthemums typically are in peak bloom about a week after Labor Day. For many varieties of chrysanthemum, it looks as though the bloom period will be two or even three weeks later so that mid September through October will now be the riot of color these plants will display. At the nursery, colored signs accurately show color on the Igloo mums with the individual plants tagged according to variety. Even our large 12" garden mums will be tagged according to color.
The storms last Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday nights have dropped almost two inches of rain that surely does give relief from the drought. Some more of at least another two inches would be great but this weekend at least looks sunny and not overly hot.
Enjoy the good weather this Labor Day weekend!
