921/2011 update: As I thought it might turn out a few days back we have not had real rain for the next few days. This morning I watered some containers that needed the water. Good rain is forecast for Thursday. I am going to wait to see how that works out before I water a couple of 2011 planted shrubs and some annuals. If we get more than 1/2 inch I will postpone any watering considerations for a couple more days.
I will check back in another few days for further water discussions!
Let us know if you have any watering questions!
*Pruning Raspberries
Now is the perfect time to prune raspberries and to prepare for next year. Click HERE for a link that illustrates well proper raspberry care.
*Decorating Tip!
Sally in Falmouth placed some pumpkins in the midst of some established plantings at the Falmouth store and it has created quite a stir!
I took these pics and they are not great. This beautiful planting is actually fairly loaded with pumpkins and looks great! Bored with pumpkins on the porch? Place some pumpkins in your plantings--you will be pleased!
Check back soon for more Garden Talks!
