An ornamental tree or shrub is defined as having a desired characteristic that adds color from flower, foliage or fruit, good texture from leaves or bark, or seasonal interest. Ornamental trees are usually smaller in size than shade trees and fulfill an important role in a well-designed landscape.

Already August
Well, it is hard to believe that it is already August and the first back to school commercials have started to air. We have been enjoying the nice warm beautiful days and we still have many of them to come. These days have been exceptional for our mums and they are starting to fill out beautifully,
August Thunder
August is a busy time of the year with most items running at full steam. With the recent rains we have hardly had to irrigate, but that is changing today as we are starting up three pivots.
August Landscape Honey Do List
Hard to believe August is here and fall is near. August can be a dry month so don’t forget to keep watering your gardens and lawns. A good time to pull weeds is immediately after a rainfall because it makes it easier to get the entire root out with the weed. Remember to water thoroughly and deeply when you water.

Picking Up the Pace
The pace has picked up dramatically these past couple of weeks. We have dodged a couple of bullets regarding the hail and the rainfalls. Although frequent they have not been the ground pounding torrential down pours that we have experienced in the past couple of years.
Mums the Word
Wow! It’s hard to believe that it is already July. Time flies when you are having as much fun as we are. We are still in full swing around here as we just finished setting down and planting our mum pots for this coming fall. This year we did a little over 7,500 mum pots, with a variety of beautiful colors.
Add Black and Purple Raspberries to Your Garden
Many people describe the strawberry as the finest fruit, while others consider the raspberry to be as good, if not better. Nonetheless, raspberries are much less common by far, because the fruits perish so rapidly. Raspberries are among the easiest garden fruit to care for and cultivate and give the home gardener as good a return in delicious fruit as he or she can get from any other fruit plant variety.
Mouth Watering Fresh Veggies
The peak of the flower season has passed. Annual bedding plants have found their homes. Now it is time to make room for farm fresh produce that begins arriving from our fields daily. We are happy to offer you a fresh farmer’s market every day of the week all day long!
