June 29th 2012

OK here's a funny true story: two guys just came into the garden centre to buy some hedging cedars today. Apparently the one guy owns a boat and he was working in it when another friend decided to unhook it from the trailer. The only problem was that this boat and trailer were parked at the top of a hill and his friend forgot to put blocks behind the tires. Ok so maybe you can see where this is going? The boat started rolling down the hill (with the owner in the boat) and travelled about 150ft before it crashed through the other guy's cedar hedge! We've heard a lot of stories involving hedges here at the garden centre through the years but never one so comical (wish there was a YouTube video).

For those of you looking to plant ( or fix ) a cedar hedge we just got a fresh delivery of nice 5 ft cedars into the garden centre on Monday with nice big root balls on them. This will probably be the last time we carry them for the season.

 

Peace and Plants,

Kelly

LEAF TROUBLES?

 

 

Powdery mildew on your plants, brown spots, rust?

Humid weather paired with poor air circulation bring on a lot of these leaf diseases in the summer. Symptoms include: brown or black spots on plant leaves, a white powder-like substance on leaves and often leaves yellowing and falling off.

There are several treatment options available.

 

 Green Earth Garden Fungicide is a sulphur-based, ready-to-use spray that is both a fungicide and a miticide. It can be used on fruits, vegetables, roses, and flowers.

Apply at first sign of disease and repeat every 7-10 days.

 

FOR ROSES try our new Green Earth BIOFUNGICIDE a broad spectrum , preventative fungicide used for black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose, bortytis, blight.

 

When all else fails the one-two punch is BORDO Copper Spray.  It contains 53% copper sulphate and can be used to treat all hard-to-treat leaf problems on apples, veggies, roses, fruit and shrubs.
