Villager Nursery in August
Enjoy this moment but invest in your future happiness. Plant bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees for next summer and for all the years that follow. These plants will please you AND your grandchildren. I am grateful to the pioneers who planted roses, lilacs, gogi berry, hops, and bouncing bet in downtown Truckee >150 years ago. More "naturalized" plants here. |
Saturday Morning Entertainment
(8/20, 9:30-11am)
Watch Rob and Eric gesture and articulate while sharing the finer details of tree and shrub planting in the mountain environment.

Tomatoes Taste of Summer
 As late as this season began I had little hope for tomato success this season. I was so wrong. This year I used the Dr.Earth Potting Soil , I added water holding gel, a hand-full each of Biosol, Dr. Earth Veg., Worm Castings and Bat Guano and I watered them all in with Maxicrop to stimulate roots. I missed most of the 4th of July Parade potting them up. The Tomaccio is second largest and the only one we've been eating from so far with hundreds of sweet fruit ripening quickly that we'll dry (they taste a lot like SunGold) The "gotta-be-snake-oil" GRAFTED Roma tomato is the largest I've grown BY FAR! It's HUGE with giant stems, leaves and hundreds of rapidly expanding fruit. I'm a believer! The smaller the pots they are growing in the weaker my results. Peppers love warm summer nights and I have a huge crop. |
