| | | Dear Viewer,
Summer is half over already. Can you believe it? Hopefully this cool weather stays around for awhile! It is great weather to plant some things around the house to add some beauty to enjoy.
Be sure to Check out The NEWSLETTER ONLY coupon on the bottom of the page!!!
| This Weeks Special will give you beautiful blooms the rest of the summer into fall.
Can you guess what weekly special is? These plants are starting to bloom around town right now. They bloom in white mainly but there are some new varieties that bloom in blue or pink based on soil acidity. They also come in tree form. Make a guess of what you think it is. To see if you were right click HERE.
|  | New plants have arrived!!
In the last week 4 truckloads of plants have arrived!! Make sure to stop in and see all of the new beautiful plants. Our selection is still awesome and we are getting more trucks in weekly. Everything is looking fresh and springlike, especially after all of the rain we just had.
Myth of The Summer:
You can only plant in Spring or Fall.
I have heard this said a lot in my 10 plus years working at Ground Effects. However this is something that is not true. You can plant throughout the whole year. We plant spring, summer, and fall until the ground freezes. If you plant in the summer you just will have to water your plants a little more. My theory is to get the plants in the ground soon so they can so they can develop a good root system and thrive. The plants are already "planted" in pots and they will love being out of the hot black plastic pots and in the ground.
| What's Wrong with My Plant?
Many people have been coming in wondering what is happening with their rose bushes. Some have had bugs eating their leaves and others have had some fungus or other problems. If any of these things are happening to your roses stop in and pick up some Rose spray. It is easy to apply and works for a wide variety of problems.
| Things to Get Done Soon or to Think About Doing:
- Get out in your landscape and weed! After all of this rain weeds are starting to thrive. Go out in your landscape and pull the weed while it is nice and wet. It makes it a lot easier for you to pull them.
- Deadhead or snip off any spent blooms on annuals, and geraniums. Fill in with new annuals if some have died or aren't up to snuff.
- If any of your plants are still not coming out of their spring funk. Tear them out and replace them with something new.
- Trim back spent blooms off your Salvia, Coreopsis, Nepeta, and old stocks on your daylilies.
- Don't be afraid to trim back any overgrown perennials. They often look better after being cut back.
- Trim and reshape flowering shrubs after they are done blooming.
- Look around your landscape and see if you have anything that will bloom come fall. If not stop in and pick up some asters or in a month we will have some beautiful mums.
