</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">As we move into the season of all things merry and bright, us
gardeners want to remind you that plants can play a pivotal role in your
holiday season as well. Below are just a few ideas….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Plants make great gifts</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Granted, being gardeners, we might be a little biased here, but
really, plants DO make great gifts! Everyone can use an extra houseplant or two
to brighten up a dull spot in their home or workspace. Plus, the gift a plant
seems to say “I have faith in you. You can keep this living thing alive!”, and,
well, we all need that kind of encouragement in our lives right now, don’t
we?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you aren’t sure what type of
plant to give someone, go for easy to grow houseplants like </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Sansevieria (snake plant), aloes, jade plants
or Peace Lily. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJgqApxb9v90pwh9GG3RrLoJ1lzB0tRJ2T-sP_gjsaPTGEt6NimEUTFusw_X9DWYcJe4M4C3wryowD2M4XnV4OLvwY3ftte6tTswBpnsmn2iGDCMBFYUv1a21UFN0EY3ecvtuI/s750/4A0A06ED-9231-4341-86DC-D03C6C9BF23A.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJgqApxb9v90pwh9GG3RrLoJ1lzB0tRJ2T-sP_gjsaPTGEt6NimEUTFusw_X9DWYcJe4M4C3wryowD2M4XnV4OLvwY3ftte6tTswBpnsmn2iGDCMBFYUv1a21UFN0EY3ecvtuI/w200-h200/4A0A06ED-9231-4341-86DC-D03C6C9BF23A.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This time of
year, we also start to see some seasonal favorites pop up: this is when the
classic poinsettia makes an appearance, of course. This year, don’t throw them
all out when the season passes – they can make a really cool little shrub/tree
when planted outside, or be a year round houseplant! We also start to see one
our favorites, the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Christmas cactus”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are really a type of cacti native to
Brazil, the common name for them stemming from when they tend to bloom. Super easy
to grow, we think these are a really underrated plant! Don’t forget about
living Christmas tree options, too – a cool way to bring nature inside, and to
grow something outside once the season is over. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Pumpkin succulents and other garden themed centerpieces </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Bring the outside in with some unique table décor this holiday
season! “Pumpkin succulents” are pretty easy to make. I am a fan of NOT carving
out the pumpkin and instead just glue moss to the top of the intact pumpkin,
and then attach succulent cuttings. I find they last much longer this way, in
fact, it’s quite surprising how long these last! When the pumpkin starts to
look a little mushy, you can either peel the moss off and plant it with the
succents intact, cut of the top of the pumpkin and plant it with the succulents
growing on top, or, just plant the whole pumpkin up to the top. With that last
option, you’ll get a succulent garden, some compost, and likely some pumpkins
growing from the seeds the following year!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The trend of ‘living wreaths’ has been gaining traction for years
now. In a nutshell, it’s about taking branches and shaping them into a circle
(you can buy premade ones at most craft stores), and in a similar way as you
would with succulent pumpkins, adding moss, and then attaching a variety of succulent
cuttings to it; you can find lots and lots of ‘how to’ videos of the process
online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can easily give such wreaths
some holiday flair by including pine cones, faux or real (dried) red berries,
ribbon and other seasonal bling to your creation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Making the wreaths is also a great group activity for holiday
parties and gatherings. Rather than watch TV together on Thanksgiving, enjoy
the California sunshine and go outside and make some living wreaths and bring a
bit of nature into your holiday celebrations! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p>

and getting lots of time to play outside. Bring some plants into your holiday
celebrations this year, and get your nature fix! </span></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fall Harvest</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It’s almost pumpkin spice time! Regardless of if the weather
cooperates with our #fallvibes or not, moving into the autumn months is one of my
favorite times of the year. Maybe it’s the new school year, but I’ve always
associated this time of year with new starts, new beginnings and potential.
It’s also one of my favorite times of year as a gardener. With that in mind, for
those with plants on the brain, there are three areas to focus on for the
upcoming months: cleaning up your garden, replanting outside, and making sure
you are well stocked on houseplants for the winter months to come! </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB75btFRCeCxUHCI2aCeMMRIUfqhBiQxPgaai6qFhhyphenhyphenaQQyzz-7N5lvHs4BKVB_kudUVrPqfAGg7tuAQ3eHu92-WwaGGjRjGzjlXv4CJ_jg2Ia07TCEv8li35ql9BArhf6Fkf1/s640/IMG_2499.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB75btFRCeCxUHCI2aCeMMRIUfqhBiQxPgaai6qFhhyphenhyphenaQQyzz-7N5lvHs4BKVB_kudUVrPqfAGg7tuAQ3eHu92-WwaGGjRjGzjlXv4CJ_jg2Ia07TCEv8li35ql9BArhf6Fkf1/s320/IMG_2499.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fall and early winter months
are ideal times for getting your ‘garden house in order’. Think of it as spring
cleaning…only in the fall, and you know, in your garden! This is the time of
year we clean up our little nursery, as well as our clients gardens. Prune, round
up leaves and other debris (compost ‘em but don’t let them rot in beds!) bring
in some fresh soil amendments, and do some general ‘sprucing up’. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Rudbeckia, poppies and
salvias are your ‘standard cottage garden’ plants to put in the ground this
time of year, setting up your garden for guarantee blooms in the months to
come. Hardy and tough, these are great additions, and do well when planted in
the fall and early winter months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus,
these plants will continue to show up in your garden year after year: let
poppies go to seed, and rudbeckias and salvias get cut back in the winter so
that they can look stunning in the spring.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Looking for some indoor plant ideas? Indoor plants aren’t as
dependent on seasons as outdoor plants are, though availability does differ
based on the time of year. If you are looking to bring some blooms indoors,
check out the trusty “Christmas Cactus”, technically a cactus native to Brazil
called “Schlumbergera”. They bloom near the end of fall and start of
winter, and are a great way to bring some cherry blooms indoors! We love Caladiums,
too – though they don’t bloom, they provide great color and are easy to grow. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBXE984w7E1hVNLgjjGuKy3smxDsiWsA48dN9Z7alyu29MPo94h60-jcdc1T_cEHMFXVQ9fa70k_SnLdzkXFV4L7aNjUxisedcFTmtJpa8CuI_mpYlAEUILiZbeUqZYM0RBK4J/s640/D2C58B7A-54CB-4BF0-BACD-08E445EF0BEE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="360" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBXE984w7E1hVNLgjjGuKy3smxDsiWsA48dN9Z7alyu29MPo94h60-jcdc1T_cEHMFXVQ9fa70k_SnLdzkXFV4L7aNjUxisedcFTmtJpa8CuI_mpYlAEUILiZbeUqZYM0RBK4J/s320/D2C58B7A-54CB-4BF0-BACD-08E445EF0BEE.jpeg" width="180" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Are you in the ‘I want to grow houseplants but I don’t know
where to start” club? There are three plants that you can’t go wrong with. Sansevieria
(commonly referred to as ‘snake plant’) comes in all sorts of cool colors and
shapes. This plant is super forgiving (couldn’t we all use some more
forgiveness?): they are easy to grow, can tolerate a wide range of light
conditions and doesn’t need much water. That description could also apply to
the Pothos family, too – we love them for their color, hardiness, and
Instgramability! Rounding out our list of ‘you can totally grow this indoors’
would be the always popular Philodendrom family: lush, happy, and easy to grow,
they are a great addition to your houseplant family. Worried you don’t have
enough sunlight in your place to grow houseplants? You can get a “grow light”
that replicates the spectrum of light provided at the sun, and you don’t need a
special light fixture – there are bulbs available that fit standard lamps, we
have seen them at Home Depot for less than $5! </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We hope you get a chance to enjoy the changing season and
all the promise that comes with it. We’ll be having a garden party as part of
Country Roads annual Holiday Open House on Saturday November 6<sup>th</sup> –
join us! </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Winter Garden Tips</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Winter has arrived! Thankfully, for
most southern California gardeners this doesn’t put a damper in our gardening
plans, but, in fact, provides the opportunity to take advantage of planting
winter loving plants, and getting your garden in tip top shape for spring! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
There are all sorts of things that
can be planted this time of year: cool season vegetables like beets, carrots, Swiss
chard, kale and lettuces can go into the ground now, and can even be started by
seed! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikw-Zff9QTbqtGXa2blJ3yevzlBIl8yerR-4pTe0MeTN4kAsIDmEh8N4Z1V4dTIlJrFyBn2iw1H4QvR2Yemlmgfd5DmlBX54UOqr2dl1TcU6y4ZJzY2zfn_Xd-6YPRPciDkAtG/s1600/IMG_5881.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikw-Zff9QTbqtGXa2blJ3yevzlBIl8yerR-4pTe0MeTN4kAsIDmEh8N4Z1V4dTIlJrFyBn2iw1H4QvR2Yemlmgfd5DmlBX54UOqr2dl1TcU6y4ZJzY2zfn_Xd-6YPRPciDkAtG/s320/IMG_5881.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This is also the season to start
planting your cottage garden classics, ensuring bountiful blooms for spring.
Sweet peas should go into the ground during these cooler months – we will have
a big selection from Annie’s Annuals in stock this season – and this is also a
good time to plant delphiniums, too. We also like to start planting poppies
now. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">eschscholzia</i> species grows
very well here; you know that poppy as the ‘official California state flower’
that comes in a vibrant orange, but we also have it available in some really
cool other colors like rose, alba, yellow and even a new variety called
‘Champagne’. Interesting fact: the species was named around 1810 by a German
botanist who was exploring California and the Pacific coast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
For all of these winter plants, be
sure you are planting them in soil that drains well, as you don’t want them to
get water logged by winter rain, which can cause them to rot. You can ensure
this happens and promote aeration in your soil a few different ways. One way is
add amendments designed to improve clay soil. Be sure to avoid mulch right now,
as mulch can bog the soil down. Look for soil amendments that are specific to
promoting better drainage – you can even add a few bags of cactus potting mix
to your garden to achieve this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
way is to literally poke holes in your flower beds! There are tools available
to achieve this, spike aerators can be found in hardware stores (shout out to
Orange County Farm Supply, one of our favorite spots for all things tools!) for
as low as about $25. Another method to improving drainage is to turn over the
soil. If you don’t have a lot of material planted already in your garden,
literally take a shovel, dig down, and flip the soil. You can do this on a
smaller scale with a hand trowel, turning the soil over in the area you are
going to be doing planting. In fact, it’s a good habit to get into any time you
plant, as it promotes healthier soil and prevents compaction. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
You don’t want to fertilize too
heavily in the winter, as this is not the season that you want to promote a lot
of growth. This is a good season to add amendments though, especially those
that are low in nitrogen. We like worm castings and bone meal for this purpose.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Remember too, this is the time for
cool season bulbs! Though a bit of work, planting bulbs is a time honored, fun
tradition for many gardeners – we all have our favorites. You can also plant
seeds for plants like nasturtiums and Larkspur during the winter, too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
is no rest for the active gardener! Get out there and make the most of these
winter months!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
PS: Mark your calendars now: our
Spring Garden Party for 2020 will be on Saturday March 21<sup>st</sup>! </div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Summer is here…does your garden have its ‘beach body’ yet?</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>by Brande Jackson</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The summer solstice has come, the days are noticeably longer, and stores have long been selling July 4<sup>th</sup>
decorations…that can only mean one thing: summer is here! What does that mean
for you and your garden? We’ve got a few tips on how to get you garden into 'summer shape'.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKu0s6jhdcvWjMzUBnYCSGcYwWdwYf0MthNo3ERXN7F1Knindh4HX-NW9HHku7TVLOlp0ieVzLYrlXPuB6UN4Lzj98-lc7sH5S2khZcoIltCKipXDwstPGoTQRLVkql0YDMiH/s1600/6FF677F2-F67C-4046-8310-6C4FCF3C8E4F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKu0s6jhdcvWjMzUBnYCSGcYwWdwYf0MthNo3ERXN7F1Knindh4HX-NW9HHku7TVLOlp0ieVzLYrlXPuB6UN4Lzj98-lc7sH5S2khZcoIltCKipXDwstPGoTQRLVkql0YDMiH/s200/6FF677F2-F67C-4046-8310-6C4FCF3C8E4F.jpg" width="200" /></a>1. Take advantage of that June gloom! Those June mornings are PERFECT for getting your garden game on. Use that weather to
prune, plant and get the heavy work done. Yes, you’ll feel better not laboring
under a blazing sun, but what really matters is that you won’t be stressing out
your plants, either. Get prepared early in the season, before the weather warms
up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Toughen up that garden! Prune before the hottest days of
summer hit, and try to plant as early in the season as you can, too (though you
can certainly plant year round). Pull the weeds, throw down a layer of mulch
(we like shredded bark the best), and start to do what is known as “deep
watering”; basically, soak your garden on a more infrequent basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will help it acclimate to hotter
and dyer conditions. It doesn’t mean you won’t have to water in the heat of
summer - you will - but deep watering encourages deeper root growth and ensures
that water penetrates the top layer of soil, which is what you want. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Release the bugs! We like to release ladybugs into the
garden around this time of year, as they help with aphids and other pests that
begin to proliferate in summer months. While you are at it, be sure to keep an
eye out for mosquitos – they were bad last year!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are organic options for treating them, some geraniums
you can plant that act as natural repellants, and be sure to treat any water features
you have in your garden as a precaution, too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-xUMTZS9JpGepJnUrHsqH1vSGRPjK1vrLlcYCNAl_ACuzH-lks-xbHZ6r7dX1T1mQsl14awhk7MVgRwpG-CaGDivIdR8FDOXgDmDzOiuwQhGIAbxMzfNAEFLc4NQYSHtoHXJ/s1600/IMG_8283.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-xUMTZS9JpGepJnUrHsqH1vSGRPjK1vrLlcYCNAl_ACuzH-lks-xbHZ6r7dX1T1mQsl14awhk7MVgRwpG-CaGDivIdR8FDOXgDmDzOiuwQhGIAbxMzfNAEFLc4NQYSHtoHXJ/s320/IMG_8283.jpeg" width="240" /></a>4. Throw some shade! Provide some temporary shade to the
hottest parts of your garden during the summer. Even plants that are meant for
full sun can get damaged when it’s really crazy hot. Pick up some market umbrellas
and stagger them around your yard, or find some cool looking tapestries and tie
them up as temporary shade cloth. You don’t need to construct anything
permanent nor does it need to be expensive, but temporarily shading parts of
your garden during the hottest days of the year can go a long way towards
keeping your plants healthy and happy. To figure out where your garden could
use a ‘shade break’, look for plants that are wilting or looking kinda crispy
when it’s hot, even after a good watering<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>- those are the ones that probably need it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Get planting! There are all sorts of plants that thrive
in the summer months. Salvias, sunflowers, succulents….and those are just the
‘S’ plants! Veggies to plant this time of year include squash, corn, eggplant,
tomatoes, swiss chard, pumpkin, most melons, and cucumbers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get growing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Late spring and summer is a fine time for getting outside
and playing in your garden. Just take a few steps to get prepared, and you can
enjoy your yard all season long!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This South African shrub or small tree is a a great choice to bring some height and interest to your garden. It reaches to about 12 feet in height, with dense soft needle like
foliage - super cool. It is said to bloom in it's first year, featuring bright lavender blue, sweet pea like flowers. And the name? The comes from the sweet scent of the blooms. Really fun, cool plant!</div>

Asarina scandens ‘Sky Blue' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Asarina is a type of vine that is easy to grow, hardy, and comes in a variety of colors. The "Sky Blue" variety is one of our very favorites, though, and not one that we get in all that often! Fast growing, it reaches 8-10 feet in it's spread. It's great on a trellis, on a wall that needs coverage, or even a pot!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This plant just looks so...geometric. Architectural. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Hardy, full sun, low water, great as a border plant or in a pot, and it blooms super cute white flowers in the summer time! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Milkweeds, the common name for these plants, are popular as they attract butterflies and caterpillars (don't worry, the plant has mechanisms to grow back quickly as the caterpillars munch!) and are a great way to bring some nature into your own garden! As you can see in this photo, butterflies were already stopping in to say hello...<br />

<u><b>Hollyhocks</b></u><br />
<br />
Towering giants of any garden, Hollyhocks are quite easy to grown, and fairly drought tolerant once established. They are a bit prone to a <a href="http://www.organicgardening.com/learn-and-grow/hollyhock-rust" target="_blank">rust </a>that affects just their family of plants. While it's not all that pretty, it's not really going to damage the plant, is easy to address, and really, a few dots on a leave are worth it when you see the blooms these plants produce! We have the varieties below in stock right now; all take full sun, average to low water (once established) and will grow between 4-8 feet tall!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The nursery is looking really nice and full right now, a great time to stop in and visit us, and perhaps take home some of your very own botanical goodies!</div>

Juncus spiralis, the 'corkscrew grass' that everyone is obsessed with (which we have in super cute, small 2" sized pots for a very low price!), some great 'Valentine color', Jasmine wreaths (and a few Jasmine hearts, but get them while you can, as they will be moving fast today!), Nemesia "Shooting Stars" (check out the photo below!), Clarkia (in six packs!), Heliophila "Angel Eyes" (also in demand and will probably go fast!), and lots of other cottage garden goodies!<br />
<br />

Australian Fuchsia". It's a low growing shrub - maybe 2 or 3 feet tall -
drought tolerant, hardy, and delightful! We have them in one gallon
sized containers right now.<br />
<br />
We are picking up some more plant for
the weekend ahead, too: juncus spiralis, cyclamen, primula, jasmine: all sorts of
fun, Valentine themed colors, too!<br />
<br />
Will we see you in our garden this weekend?<br />
<br />
PS: This weekend is all the big President's Day Weekend Sale! Plants will be discounted, as will all sorts of other goodies throughout Country Roads. Pop in and see us!<br />

<br />
New this week: an
order full of really cool, unusual grasses, ferns, abutilon (Chinese
lanterns), Australian natives and ‘ground covers’ like Scleranthus
uniflorus, pictured below!<br />
<br />
New herbs and winter veggies! We will
profile more of these later on, but we always love to get in a fun,
fresh crop of edible plants that are very cool – grow your own green
juice!<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<br />
Winter color! New cyclamen, jasmine heart vines, stock, ‘shamrocks’, spiral grass and more!<br />
<br />
Heart topiaries – get those Valentine gifts done and taken care of this weekend! <br />
<br />
PLUS, we still have a TON of our Annie's Annuals in from last week,
sedums and succulents from Native Sons and a whole lot more. Spring like
weather has us keeping the nursery nice and full!<br />
<br />
Hope you make it in to see us this weekend!<br />

<br />
Below is a sampling of some of the new plants we just got in stock from Annie's Annuals! You can also <a href="mailto:brande@johnnyemerles.com" target="_blank">email us</a> with any questions or special requests!<br />
<br />
<strong>Dianthus ‘Bliss’<br />
“Perpetual Carnation”</strong><br />
This old fashioned dianthus is just adorable! We love it! We also have "Cheshire Cat", "Mad Hatter", and the "Queen of Hearts" dianthus in stock as well!<strong> </strong>All are in 4" containers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Aeonium simsii</strong><br />
<strong> </strong>This is a new aeonium for us, and we love it for its daintiness! It's small - maybe three inches across each 'bud', and grows low - almost a funky cool groundcover. The yellow flowers it produces in late spring are suppose to be quite amazing!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Delphinium elatum <br />
‘Sweethearts’</strong><br />
Delphinium are among our most favorite of plants! This 'Sweethearts' variety does not disappoint - maybe we just have Valentine's Day on the brain already, but we loooove the sweet pink blooms! We have a few other varieties of delphinium in stock as well: "Bellamosum", "Dusky Maidens" and "Clivedon Beauty" are all available in 4" containers, ready to be planted now for some spring blooms!<br />
<br />

<br /><strong>Rhipsalis burchellii<br />
"Mistletoe Cactus"</strong><br />
This meets our qualifications for "funky cool and weird"! We've never had this plant before, so it's new to us as well. Here is what Annie's website says: "This RARE & highly unusual plant is actually a thornless,
tree-dwelling cactus! Best planted in a hanging basket or large
container, it forms an elegant cascade of delicate branches than can
reach down to 5’! Lovely creamy white flowers emerge along the stems,
eventually making way for darling pink fruits. A wonderful choice for a
shady patch of the garden or for keeping as a houseplant." We are pretty excited to try it out!<br />

<br />
<div class=" PIN_1420908321851_hazClick" style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Lathyrus odoratus</strong><br />
<strong>‘Route 66'</strong><strong></strong></div>
<div class=" PIN_1420908321851_hazClick" style="text-align: left;">
Sweet Pea time is here! Oh, how we looooooove sweet peas! We'll find an excuse to plant this just about anywhere! "Route 66" is a new one for us this year - this fast growing variety has some pretty amazing two-toned color going on! In addition to "Route 66" we also have "Almost Black" "Annie B. Gilroy", "Blue Vein", "Cupani", and "Fire and Ice" in stock. These tend to sell out quick - and we will likely have more in next week (1/17/15), so email us if you are looking to come in after this weekend so we can make sure they are still in stock.</div>

<strong> </strong><br />
<br /><strong>Aloe wickensii</strong><br />
Even if succulents aren't your thing, if you have a bit of space, this super cool aloe is worth it! The photo makes it look bigger than it is; the grower states it gets to the 2-3 foot range. The color is what makes it amazing; the plant itself kinda reminds us of...well, of a reptile! It has greens, and dark patches, and light patches - it's really cool! And the<strong> </strong>bi-color blooms, which will surprise you next winter, make this a really unusual specimen of aloe! We have it in 4" sized containers right now.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Garden Resolution Time!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
by Brande Jackson</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we move into kicking off a brand new year, it only seems
appropriate to think about ‘resolutions’. Going to the gym and stopping a bad
habit often top the list for many, but for those of you that identify as
‘garden geeks’, thinking in terms of ‘botanical promises’ can also be helpful.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that in mind, we present to your our suggested “Garden
Resolutions for 2015”:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Compost more</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Compositing is the best! Maybe not as exciting as Beyonce or
ice cream, but it’s sooooo easy to do, and the benefits are numerous: you
reduce waste going to a landfill, you feel less guilty about food that
inevitably gets tossed, and you get the best free, (mostly) organic fertilizer
you can ask for! There are all sorts of ways to compost, and a quick search
online (we recommend using Pinterest!) will yield numerous possibilities. It
need not be expensive, either: a compost pile can be as simple as that, a pile
in a corner of your garden, or it can be a bit more involved with
pre-fabricated containers that speed up the work that nature does.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Be adventurous</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s easy to fall into a ‘garden rut’: sticking with the
same tried and true plants can be fine, especially if you know what works for
your garden, but at the same time, be bold! Go beyond your normal range. Try
out plants that offer contrasting foliage and color. Try growing plants you can
eat. Try out plants that just sound weird and funky and cool and fun to grow!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Plant your new babies ASAP</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many a plant has left our nursery only to meet its demise
tucked away in the yard of a well-meaning garden geek that just never got
around to planting it! The plants you buy at the nursery do in fact have a
shelf life, they aren’t meant to live in that little container forever. Try to
make it a habit to get them into the ground, or in a pot, or even into a bigger
container within a week or two after purchasing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Get your tools together</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a resolution we at Johnnye Merle’s are going to try
to follow this year. Our tools are a bit of a mess: some broken, some dull,
some taken over by our four year old nephew... Keeping tools in good shape
isn’t just about organization, either: dull blades on clippers and sheaths can
actually damage plants with rough cuts, if not cleaned properly tools can carry
disease from plant to plant, and bad tools make gardening a whole lot less fun.
Search online for some ideas on how to best store your tools to keep them in
tip-top shape.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Go native!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Look, we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i> have
those plants we love and will baby and grow no matter what, and that is fine…so
long as that only represents a small percentage of your yard. Despite the wet
conditions this winter, the bottom line is that we live a bit of a “life of
illusion” in Southern California when it comes to water use and the plants that
we choose for our gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Going
native isn’t just about saving water: native plants provide an important
habitat for wildlife, including the bees and other pollinators that are
critical to the health of your garden, and the larger ecosystem. We have a huge
selection of native plants in our nursery, and are happy to show you ways to go
native AND look good! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Ditch the lawn!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On that same note, maybe this is the year that you give up
your lawn - it’s much easier than you probably think! Many cities are now
offering rebates, meaning, getting rid of your lawn and replacing it with
drought tolerant plants could be just about free for you (depending on where
you live) AND save you money on water in the long run as well. We have a simple,
straightforward design package to help homeowners “ditch the lawn”, you can
learn more at: www.ditchthelawn.com</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Spend more time in your garden</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, this sounds very touchy-feely, but studies have proven
that gardening is a great antidote to stress! According to an article in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">USA Today</i> last year, there is even a
field emerging called “horticulture therapy”, which is aimed at using gardening
to help people cope with anxiety and depression, and even recover from surgery.
Don’t think of your gardening time as merely a hobby, you are beautifying the
landscape, helping out our ecosystem, AND helping your brain! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Hopefully this list inspires you to get outside and dig in the dirt!</div>

it as a "groundcovering perennial", meaning, super easy to grow, it
spreads nicely (but not invasive) - it's perfect for that funky strip on
