Dear
Fall is in the air this week. Yesterday I had to go home at lunch and put some jeans and a sweater on it was so cool. If nothing else it puts you in the fall gardening mood. With the mums looking so good and at the price they are, you can't help but want to decorate with them. Come out and buy the nicest mums around (at least that's what everyone says).
Take care and have a terrific weekend.

SHOW US YOUR BEST |
|
|
We're interested to see how all your gardens did this year so we're asking you to send in photos of your best planting combination, container, or Victorian baskets. Whatever you were most proud of this season, and we'll post them on our website. |
|
BELGIAN MUMS |
|
Did you know that some of the mums we grow here at Gemmell's are Belgian Mums ? That's why they are so big and floriferous! These mums are top notch performers loaded with tons of flowers that will last from now right through to October. Not only are they larger than regular mums they also have a nice rounded shape that looks great in containers or in the garden. Oh yeah, they are also grown right here in our own fields so you're not only buying the best, you're shopping local! $4.99 each or 5 for $20.00 |
|
SPRING BULBS |
|
Now is the time to plant bulbs for tons of colour next spring! Daffodils, and Garlic absolutely should be planted in September. Tulips, Hyacinth, Muscari, Alliums and Snowdrops can be planted until late fall. We have some really interesting varieties this year. My new fav is the 'Blumex' tulip, but the El Nino is a close second!
To keep those pesky squirrels at bay try adding bloodmeal to your bulbs when planting. Other gardener tricks are: hen manure, dog hair, or mothballs. Squirrels usually stay away from Daffodils and Narcissus. |
