Best Time to Plant! |
Timely, Local High Desert Tips
Now is the time to ...
Yellowing & dropping pine needles
It is common for pines to shed needles annually. As long as the needles are on the inside of the branch (close to the trunk) instead of at the tip of the branch, there is generally nothing to worry about. If needles are browning and dropping at the tip of branches, there is a problem; in this instance, bring a branch in to one of our plant doctors for a diagnosis.
- Plant trees, shrubs, perennials and spring flowering bulbs - fall is the best time to plant and the only time to plant bulbs! Be sure to plant with SuperThrive, G&B Organics Starter or All Purpose Fertilizer and G&B Organics Soil Building Conditioner according to our planting guide for success. Plant bulbs later this month around Nevada Day when the soil has cooled to 40 degrees or up until the ground freezes. For best results, plant with or Gardner & Bloome Bone Meal or G&B Organics Bud & Bloom Fertilizer.
- Refresh flower beds and containers with cool-season favorites such as pansies, ornamental cabbage & kale, chrysanthemums, sedums, ornamental grasses and fall-blooming asters.
- Continue to water newly planted perennials, trees and shrubs, especially evergreens, regularly until ground freezes, gradually reducing the amount of water provided and lengthening the time between watering.
- Mulch, mulch, mulch. The best thing you can do to prepare and protect your trees and shrubs for winter is to mulch them with a 2 -3" layer of G&B Organics Soil Building Conditioner or walk-on bark. Be sure to water them thoroughly and regularly until the ground freezes if there is no natural precipitation.

Carmel's October High Desert Bird of the Month: Dark-eyed Junco
Scientific name
: Junco hyemalis
Dark-eyed Juncos are neat, even flashy little sparrows that flit about forest floors of the western mountains and Canada, then flood the rest of North America for winter. They're easy to recognize by their sharp markings and the bright white tail feathers. The Junco is a medium-sized sparrow with a rounded head, a short, stout bill and a fairly long, conspicuous tail. Juncos vary across the country, but in general they're dark gray or brown birds brightened up by a pink bill and white outer tail feathers that periodically flash open, particularly in flight.
Dark-eyed Juncos are birds of the ground. They can be found hopping around the bases of trees and shrubs in forests or venture out onto lawns looking for fallen seeds. You'll often hear their high chip notes while foraging, or intensifying as they take short, low flights through the vegetation. They are primarily seed-eaters, with seeds of chickweed, buckwheat, sorrel, and the like making up about 75% of their year-round diet. At bird feeders they seem to prefer millet over sunflower seeds.

Enjoy feeding Jays and Squirrels? Now we carry whole peanuts in 25# bags! With the temperatures cooling off many birds and mammals are caching nuts away for the winter. Why not help them out and have some fun feeding with some whole peanuts? |
Bree's September Planting Tips: 
- Plant perennials until the ground freezes and seeds according to directions.
- Plant spring blooming bulbs on Nevada Day - when the soil has cooled to about 40 degrees until the ground freezes. Be sure to plant with Gardner & Bloome Bone Meal or G&B Organics Bud & Bloom Fertilizer, water well and mulch with G&B Organics SBC (Soil Building Conditioner). Easy as Dig, Drop, Done!
- Be sure that new plantings and perennials are kept watered if there is insufficient rainfall.
- Set out Pansies, Violas, Ornamental Kale and Cabbage and Mums to keep color in the garden for as long as possible.
