Rosie On The House “In The Garden” W/ The Harper Boys!!






Labor day is the traditional start of the fall season around the country. No where else does it really have such an impact as here in the desert. Soon it will cool off and we liken it to “Spring” in many parts of the country. We have had our most severe season (most places that is winter) and as it begins to cool people can come out and enjoy the outdoors again-kind of “cabin fever” in reverse! We have just had a record setting August for heat and January had some record or historic cold weather. Interesting that our last hard freeze was in 2007 and the records we broke in August for number of 110 plus days was set in 2007? The extremes at both ends are really tough on plants. You plants probably need fertilized more than ever to help them stay healthy and or recover from a darn tough late summer. High temps not much rainfall or even cloudy days to give them a break has taken its toll on a lot of plans,trees,and vines. We have a great long mild Fall season that really helps plants recover before our “cold” season hits in December or January. Be sure to take advantage of our DEALS on fertilizer this weekend to help kick start your plants on the road to recovery!
