Dear Loretta,
|
|
As the holiday season approaches, we
have much to celebrate. We are moved and
settled in our new location at 2522 E.
Ft Lowell Road and we can hardly
"contain" ourselves. We have lots more
room to breathe and to grow!! With all
this space and because we are more
centrally located we will be able to
serve you better, faster and more
efficiently.
There is still lot of time to get your
outdoor living areas spruced up before
the holidays. And our new Potted Garden
Gifts are ready for all your holiday
gifting. (see sidebar to the left)
We all have so much to be thankful for -
wishing you and yours the best of the
season and a very happy New Year!
To Tucson Outdoor Living!
Marylee

November/December in your Garden
|
|
You still have
time to add winter color to your pots!
With the cooler temperatures on the way
(at last), be sure you have completed
your check off list:
-
Reduce the frequency of your
watering schedule for your landscape
plants.
-
Water your potted plants only once a
day.
-
All watering should be done in the
morning after the sun is up.
-
Stop pruning plants now.
-
Only fertilize your container
plants. Other plants are now going
into their dormancy and if you push
new growth with fertilizer you risk
frost damage to the new tips.
-
Begin checking the forecast for
freeze warnings
-
Prepare to cover and protect
sensitive plants when temperatures
drop below 32°F
-
Bring potted plants, including
succulents indoors when in doubt
about cold sensitivity

Rose
Care for November/December |
- Start decreasing the amount that you
water your roses now that the
temperatures are starting to cool. Do
not decrease the amount of water but the
frequency of your watering.
- Continue your fertilization program,
until the fall blooming shows are over.
Toward the end of November, you no
longer want to encourage new growth. You
want to begin to let your roses have a
brief rest period for the winter.
- Keep a watchful eye for powdery
mildew. As the nighttime temperatures
cool off, the conditions are right for
this fungus. At the first signs of
mildew on your roses, spray with a
fungicide such as Funginex.
