A Love for Roses

Article Picture

"That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet"

William Shakespeare

The presence of roses in gardens transcends time. Roses have always been, are today, and will forever be, not only a plant member of our gardens, but most often the featured plant in our gardens. And this happens simply by default, because nothing has as great a floral color impact in your garden as a rose.

Weeks Roses--20% Off!

There's nothing that says summer like the sweet, succulent flavor of melons. What a refreshing, tasty warm weather treat! When plucked fresh from the vine at the perfect ripeness, they have a flavor that brings a smile to everyone. A slice of melon makes the perfect ending for any summer picnic or barbeque.

Choosing Tomato Plants

picture

Looking around at the choices available in tomato plants, it's easy to get confused. What do they mean by determinate and indeterminate — not to mention semi-determinate? Should one buy an heirloom or a hybrid? Everyone knows what a cherry tomato is — but what is the difference between a beefsteak and a salad tomato?

Blue-Green


Blue-Green

Conserving water is one of the simplest and most important things you can do to be greener at home. Did you know that a typical single family suburban household uses at least 30% of its water for outdoor irrigation? In many cases more than 50% of that water is wasted due to evaporation or runoff caused by overwatering.

By tuning up or remodeling your current irrigation system and adding a state of the art controller, you can do your part to be "blue/green" and have significant savings.

Now's the time to schedule an irrigation audit with one of our Irrigation Association Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors. Call Joan at 825-0602 x134 today to make an appointment.
