| Buying a Christmas Tree To Plant A living Christmas tree not only provides holiday cheer but can provide a valued landscape plant with proper care. Using a living tree is a “growing” – pardon the pun – trend amongst homeowners these past few years. I realize the idea of using a living tree for Christmas is not for everyone but this idea has some financial merit. But, to be successful with using a living tree for the holidays requires some forethought and a game plan. Read more | |

| December Gardening Thoughts Talking Gardening with Doug Here we are in December. Mother Nature has been very kind to us when it comes to all the rain this year. We NEVER want our plants to be dry going into any cold snap. I have a soil thermometer that I check regularly. As of December 1st, our soil temperature is 44 degrees – well above freezing. This means that you can still plant and do landscape this time of year. As the temperatures cool down, remember our feathered friends by keeping a bird feeder filled. Protect your outdoor fountains this winter by draining them to prevent cracking due to expanding ice, then covering them so they won’t collect rainwater. If you received a poinsettia for the holidays and it is wrapped in decorative foil, be sure to punch some holes in the bottom in order to allow excess water to drain.

Christmas Tree Care
Because we buy so many Christmas trees, our growers cut our trees just prior to loading them on trucks for delivery to us. This helps insure that we always have the freshest trees possible for our customers. Some trees hold their needles longer than others, but it is more a matter of care and preservation measures after you get the tree home as to how long most trees can hold their needles. See our tips for caring for your fresh cut tree | |

Poinsettia Care
Poinsettias are the number one potted plant sold in the U. S. This is amazing given the fact that they are mainly sold during the Christmas holiday season. For the holidays, place the poinsettia in bright indirect light and allow the soil to dry moderately between thorough waterings. Learn more | |

| Fun Facts & Folklore Talking Gardening with Doug I want to give a shout-out to the VIRGINIA CHRISTMAS TREE GROWERS ASSOCIATION (VCTGA) for much of the information that I am about to share with you in this blog. Maybe you didn’t even know that Virginia had a Christmas Tree Growers Association. It is an active association with many growers being members. In Virginia, we have over 4,600 acres being used to grow Christmas trees. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Virginia is # 10 in the U.S. by the number of operations with Christmas trees and # 7 by total trees harvested and total acreage. Live Christmas trees have been brought into homes and decorated during the holiday season for hundreds of years. Here are some more fun facts | |

Paperwhites
I love paperwhites. They are easy to bloom—and fast! What’s more, they are inexpensive and beautiful. When will paperwhites bloom? Paperwhites started now will take around three to four weeks to bloom. I don’t usually try to get mine to bloom by a certain date; I just enjoy them whenever they bloom. If you do want to try to hit a target date, then I’d recommend planting two or three bowls about a week apart. Learn more | |

| Amaryllis Amaryllis showed up a couple of weeks ago and I’m getting a lot of questions on how to grow these beautiful giants. The good news is they’re a whole lot easier than you might think. There are just a few things to keep in mind. In every grocery store these days, you can find amaryllis in boxes—a red, a white, a pink, and a red-and-white stripe. If you need a grab-and-go quick gift, they’re great. But if you are growing something for yourself or family or friends, look for just the bulb and plant it yourself. With amaryllis, the bigger the bulb for the variety, the more flowers you get—hands down. Read more | |

| Holiday Cactus One of the plants you’ll see almost everywhere this time of year is Christmas/Thanksgiving/ Holiday cactus. So here are some interesting facts about these beautiful seasonal bloomers. When they bloom in their native habitat in Brazil, they are beautiful spring bloomers that the locals call “Flor de Maia” or May Flower! | |

| Rosemary Bonnie's Garden One of the plants often given as a gift this time of years is Rosemary, so here’s what you need to know: To grow rosemary indoors, you basically need the same conditions as outside–lots of sun and very well-draining soil. Directly in a window that gets four hours or more of sun is best. Allow the soil to dry out fairly well between waterings, though not bone dry. To successfully grow rosemary outside...
