Greetings! 
Young costume parade winner
  
I am writing this newsletter from the beautiful city of Chicago.  We are attending the Independent Garden Center Show.  This is our chance to see what is new in the garden center industry, tour garden centers, and attend educational classes.  

 

Downtown Chicago is a gardeners adventure.  I have included a few pictures to give you an idea of what it's like.

 

Do you need to dress up your outdoor living space?  Take advantage of the basket and planter sale to give new life to your deck or patio.  It's a great way to add pizazz when entertaining or when you need to relax and look at something beautful. 
Don't cut your summer short, you can enjoy them for weeks.

Happy Gardening,
Vicky

August Gardening
 
With the arrival of the dog days of summer, don't make your lawn and garden beg for attention.

Trees and Shrubs 
   
To avoid stimulating succulent new growth that could suffer winter dieback, refrain from pruning and fertilizing trees and shrubs in August.  Fertilizing and pruning should be done later in the fall.  Don't prune spring blooming shrubs, such as lilacs and forsythias in the fall, you will be cutting off the branches they bloom on.

Roses

Stop fertilizing, and cutting back spent blossoms.  Allowing flowers to form rose hips will help roses get ready for winter.  Continue to deep soak them weekly.

Strawberries

During August and September, apply 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week to strawberries for higher yields next year.

Lawns

Now is the time to apply Ferti-lome Southwest Greenmaker.  Your lawn may be stressed from the heat, insect, or even disease damage.  It will respond well to a feeding.  Continue watering your lawn 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week. 


Vegetable gardens

By picking cucumbers, summer squash, and beans, you will encourage them to continue producing.  Keep up the watering so you don't stress the plants. 

 

Visit the Garden Solution Center at Pinehurst for all your gardening needs.

If you have not had the opportunity to visit Chicago, you are missing out on a real treat.

 The street plantings are unbelievably gorgeous.

 All along Michigan Avenue are beautiful planters.  Chicago's climate is much like ours in Pocatello, when it comes to winter cold.  We see mostly plants that grow in our area.  The humidity in Chicago does make a big difference.

Is it time to update your landscape? 

 
If you don't know where to start, we can help. 
   
What would your home look like with a make over?  You may want to make changes, but you're not sure what it would look like, what plants would be best to plant, how easy it would be to maintain, or how much it would cost. 

 

 Landscape before

The best way to start is with a landscape consultation from Pinehurst. It will help you with all your questions and you receive a sketch to show you what your home would look like with a make over. It also takes into consideration the structure of your home and how it will look not only in the summer, but 12 months of the year. 

 

You can make an appointment to visit our store, with your pictures and measurements, at no charge or arrange for a landscape designer to visit your home to get the big picture, starting at $50.  Start with a good plan, do all or part of the work yourself, or set back and let the Pinehurst landscape department take care of the entire project or the part you want to leave to the professionals.

Simple changes can make the world of difference in how your home looks.  With a minimal investment you can greatly improve the 12 month curb appeal as well as increase the value of your home. 

 

Planting the right plant in the right area insures the plants will grow well and not overgrow the situation, requiring frequent pruning.  Don't forget just because you can find a plant for sale in our area, doesn't mean it will grow here.  Plants from the nursery at Pinehurst are not only hardy for our area, but will grow in our tough soil conditions.

 

Don't put it off any longer.  Call today and get started with a consultation.  This is a great time to bring out the beauty of your home.
