NOVEMBER

  

Fall is here and Thanksgiving and Christmas are on the way.  So whether you need fall plants for the outdoors, or holiday decor for the indoors, we are ready.  Choose from pansies, alyssum, snapdragons, crotons, and ornamental cabbage to brighten up and refresh your garden spaces for the season.

 

Christmas trees should be ready for sale the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Our Christmas Store is open.  We have a beautiful selection of holiday gifts, ornaments and Christmas decor.  

If you're not yet in the holiday spirit, then you haven't been to Tom's Thumb!

Seasonal Ideas and Information for November

 

Vegetables and Herbs

Gardeners are continuing to  plant arugula, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, chard, collards, lettuce, mustard greens, pok choy, and kale.   It is still okay to set out perennial herbs as well.

 


 

 

 

Perennials & Annuals

If you haven't done so already, it is time to clean out your flower beds and work an inch of compost into the soil before replanting with cool-season flowers and foliage annuals.  Some to choose from include pansy, viola, alyssum, snapdragon, cyclamen and flowering kale.

Stop in and let us help you select the products that are right for your lawn.

 

PRUNING

"Winter is the time to do major tree pruning if your trees need to be pruned but remember that limbs are pruned off trees for your benefit not for the tree's benefit."    by Howard Garrett, The Dirt Doctor

The following information is from "The Dirt Doctor" October Newsletter. 

                         Good and Bad Pruning photos by Howard Garrett
Left photo is a proper pruning cut leaving the branch collar fully intact.  No pruning paint was or should be used.  Right photo shows an improper flush cut healing poorly.
