We ship our potted plants throughout the growing season which is April thru October so browse our webpage's to see what we have.

It has been one hot summer so far. June was hot and July is even hotter. Our normal highs during the summer is mid to upper 70's with a few days in the lower 80's. This year we have been in the lower 80's almost every day with some mid 80's. Which may not sound hot to many of you but for the mountains it is hot. All this hot weather has had some effect of our plants. Many things are blooming earlier than usual and several of the woodland wildflowers are already going dormant with many others starting to turn brown. Which does not hurt them they are just protecting themselves from the heat.

We are currently potting up our plugs that we have grown from seed or cuttings for next years crop. Also this time of year we are taking stem cuttings and getting them rotted in before winter. We are also going through our cold frames and weeding and pulling any plants that look weak. During July and August we are not real busy shipping due to the heat but we are still shipping a few plants every week.

As the shipping season progress we run out of certain items from time to time however we normally have a second crop coming on that will be available and we try to keep this up-to-date by each plant as time allows. 

Plan for fall planting now. Go through your landscape and see what additions you might want to make because Fall is a great time to get many plants in the ground for a showy spring. We will start shipping our bareroot plants in September.
