Things to think about for this fall: the good news is that long-range weather forecasters are saying that Sept/Oct/Nov are going to be warmer than normal. But they are also saying that Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb are going to be dryer than the norm. In other words, less snow - and they are predicting a LOT less snow - up to 5" less per month. Which means that we will be going into the spring with dryer conditions AGAIN (just as we did this past spring). Is there anything we can do to help our gardens next year knowing that there will be less snow on the ground this winter? YES. We have to increase the water-holding capacity of our gardens so that whatever moisture we get this fall and winter soaks in and gets held. The way to do that is to do major side-dressing of plants and shrubs with compost. Yes, we still need to protect them from rabbits, mice and voles, but a good six inches of mulch/compost, spaced AWAY from the trunks of trees and shrubs will do some major work for moisture retention this fall and winter.

Long-range weather forecasters say: Long, warm fall, so it's a good time to put in plants! Perennials and shrubs for sale at the farm, 363 County Rt. 33, Norwich, NY. Saturday/Sunday, Sept. 2/3, 9-4. Follow the signs from the corner of Rt. 12 (Broad Street) and Hale St. in Norwich, turn left at the light next to the Olde Polke Store and go up the hill 1.2 miles. When you see the white angel on your right hand side, slow down and look for the stack of orange/blue/yellow cement blocks with a 'plant sale' sign in the top. Come down the driveway and park near the garage.
NY NATIVE PLANTS:
If you are looking to make room for NY native plants, we have several for you. They are still small - it's only been six weeks - but they are robust and ready to put into the ground. We have plenty of growing time. The long-range weather folks are predicting up to 2 degrees higher, on average in October, November, and December, so instead of the ground freezing around Thanksgiving - I'm estimating at least mid-December this year. Perennials are $5 and $6 each.
Natives:
Culver Root (veronicastrum virg.): blossoms early-mid summer, 4-8 feet tall with candelabras of spiky white flowers. Great back of the bed plant, esp if you have moist ground.
Skullcap (scutellaria incana): mid-late summer, 2-3' tall with lovely blue flowers.
Spotted Horsemint (monarda punctata) -- gorgeous unusual pink and light green stalks of flowers for the shade and part shade.
Cardinal Flower (lobelia cardinalis): Eye-popping scarlet flowers on stalks. Beloved by hummingbirds. Likes shade/partial shade and moisture.
Great blue lobelia (lobelia siphilitica - no, not THAT syphilitica): The bright blue cousin to cardinal flower. We've actually seen the hummers like this one just as much as the red version. This can handle more sun than cardinal flower.
Hairy penstemon: 18" stalks of blue/purple tubular flowers.
Other items, which are not natives, but still worthwhile to have in the garden:
Anemone j*p. hupehensis: fall flowering anemone. This one shows up at the tail end of summer into fall until killer frost, 36" tall, pink, white and rose.
Echinacea Cheyenne Spirit and Magnus. Cheyenne Spirit is a real favorite of mine - super tough and comes in various colors. Mid-west native but is still very happy here.
Heliopsis Prima Ballerina: Other end of the summer into the fall flower - bright yellow, a bit more delicate than some of the other false sunflowers.
Also plenty of other perennials that we only have 2 or 3 of, but worth having.
Shrubs:
Hydrangeas: We have at least five different varieties, but if you are looking for the classic Annabelle, we have those and some of them are in blossom right now so you can see what you are getting.
Winterberry: If you are looking for a shrub that will feed the birds along with your eyes, then deciduous holly (aka, Winterberry - lots of cultivars out there). You'll want to buy two of these ($10 each) to make sure you get berries.
We also have other shrubs such as magnolias, Nanking cherry, red bud and so on. We've certainly had enough rain this last month so they should do well going into the ground now.

What's new?
Well, a customer mentioned that she was looking for NY native plants, so when we went on hiatus, I ordered plugs from my favorite native plant supplier and grew them up for you. They are still small - it's only been six weeks - but they are robust and ready to put into the ground. We have plenty of growing time before the ground freezes in November. No photos of these; our supplier, New Moon Nursery (in NJ) has the photos. Perennials are $4 and $6 each.

For those folks who are keeping score and looking forward to 'Peony Weekend', which will be early in October. We always have a selection of colors/blooming times. We encourage you to look them up on the internet to compare them with what is in your garden now.
White: Marie LeMoine - big double bomb type, pure white. Late.
Pink: Do Tell - Japanese anemone mulicolored pink with major center cluster surrounded by pink petals. Mid to late.
Pink: The Fawn - mid-pink double bomb with red flames at the ends of the petals. Late.
Red: Many Happy Returns: Double bomb in warm cherry red (no blues in this, folks), mid season.
Yellow: Bartzella. This is an Itoh hybrid between tree peonies and herbaceous. Slower than herbaceous peonies to get going but at year three they will start budding.

ALSO, ALLIUMS! You folks asked for them and we will have them the same weekend as the peonies:
Globemaster: THE BIG ONE! For those folks for whom bigger is always better. 34-38" tall. Huge purple heads.
Mount Everest: The Big One - but WHITE and a bit taller, so you'd plant these in the back and then Globemaster in front. 44 - 48"
Purple Rain: Still pretty big, but darker purple with a little bit of red mixed in with the purple. 28-32" tall AND probably the earliest of the 'tall sticks with a big head' alliums.

07/12/2023

I'm looking through my supplier's listings for peony roots for this fall to sell. It's not always easy to know what people want or how many. So, if people can get me estimates for colors they'd like to buy, I can contact the supplier.

LAST SALE OF THE SPRING SEASON! Perennials and shrubs for sale at the farm: SATURDAY/SUNDAY, July 1/2, 9-4pm. 363 County Rt. 33, NOrwich, NY. We're 1.2 miles up the hill from the intersection of Rt. 32 and Rt. 33 at the Olde Polke Store. Follow the 'Plant Sale' signs from the corner of Hale Street and Broad (Rt. 12). As you go up the hill, keep your eyes peeled for the giant white cut out of an angel blowing a trumpet on your RIGHT. Our driveway, with the stack of orange/blue/yellow cement blocks and a 'plant sale' sign in the top is where you turn LEFT.
If you are looking for perennials or fruit bushes, this is our last sale for the spring season. After this weekend, we will be shut down to do work at the farm and will not open again until August 19th.
Here's what we've got:
FRUIT TREES AND BUSHES:
Blueberries: Blueray, Bluecrop and Duke: $10. All hardy to zone 4.
We still have raspberries(Boyne and Heritage) $7 ea. Getting short on these.
Elderberries: rooted elderberries in several different varieties so that you get a better fruit set. $7 ea.
Grapes: Elvira (great all-around grape and grows fast and covers pergolas/trellises. $10 ea.
PERENNIALS: $5 each except where noted. As we sell out of items, the name of the perennial will disappear. So, if you don't see something that was advertised in the past, it's because we don't have anymore.
NEW(YES, we've brought up new perennials that we started from seed .
Helenium 'Helena Gold': Folks who have visited the farm late in the summer may recall the amazing red/gold clump out in the demo bed which blooms late in the summer. Nice clumper, about 3 feet tall, just crammed with blossoms. Well, this is the all gold sister variety to the red variety. Great addition to the garden for that late summer into fall splash of color!
Delphinium 'Connecticut Yankees': Yes, we still have the Cherry Blossom (scroll down to see), but this variety, to me, is very special - comes in shades of white, pink and blue, in a format that is slightly more casual that the classic. Lovely in the garden and a great cut flower.
Leucanthemum 'Crazy Daisy': Everyone needs a great double daisy in the garden. Big pompon daisies in brilliant white.
Rudbeckia 'Prairie Glow': I'm always on the lookout for a black-eyed Suzy with color, but the ones out on the market (think Cherry Brandy, Cherokee Sunset, etc.) are not really hardy to our zone, but this rudbeckia (this is rudbeckia triloba for those who are looking it up) is eye-popping, with a big scarlet ring in the center of the flower. This spreads slowly through rhizomes but will also self-seed - so don't yank them up! Cut back in the fall and mulch to protect the roots.
Trumpet Vine, Madame Galen -- We had them...then we got a freeze and they had to go to rehab and now they are back, so if you missed out, we've got stock.
Blazing Star (aka, Liatris): in White(only a few of these) and now purple. 3 in a pot for $6.
Scabiosa Fama White and Dark Blue: If you like to have perennials in your cutting garden, these are for you: Flowers are 4" across and the stems are sturdy for cut flowers.
Heliopsis Summer Sun: Another great cut flower. 36" tall, double gold daisy, late summer into fall. Getting short on these.
And continuing with:
Delphinium Magic Fountains 'Cherry Blossom' - lovely blush pink.
Artemisia Powis Castle: think ‘Silver Mound’ but slightly more coarse in the leaves and taller.
Asters: We have purple and red clumping asters for color in your fall garden.
Sedum ‘Mr. Goodbud’ ™ - great bright pink flower heads in the late summer and fall.
Astilbe: For shady/partially shady spots, astilbe can’t be beat. We have Red Cattelya and White Gloria. These are big - $6 ea.
Mukdenia (say that three times fast) – rossi ‘Karasuba’. This Japanese relative of heuchera has gorgeous fan-shaped leaves which turn red from the edges in and lovely sprays of white flowers in the spring (some of these are in flower right now). Up to 15 inches high and wide. $7 ea.
Digitalis obscurus – Truly unique golden coloration. True perennial. Only a few of these left.
Buddleia 'Butterfly Gold' - this is the Butterfly bush for people who want something interesting going on before the flowers come out. Lovely lavender flowers and yellow and green variegated leaves.
Shrubs: We do have some lovely shrubs including viburnum, a pink lilac (Minuet) and white lilac (Betsy Ross) and flowering cherry. ALSO: HYDRANGEAS. I finally got the mob back in Siberia organized by size. We have (starting with tall and going down to much shorter): Phantom, PeeGee, Unique, Tardiva, Chantilly Lace, Annabelle (the classic! Your Nana's snowball bushes) and Silver Dollar. Depending on size, $10 and $15.
Reminder: We will be closing for the summer after this weekend and will be reopening for the fall season on Aug. 19th.

One of the truly annoying things about being involved in a horticulture-related endeavor is that botanists are constantly playing musical chairs with the names of plants, which causes a whole lot of confusion. This photo (which many of you might recognize) is what is (and has been literally for as long as I can remember) referred to as 'New England Aster', and its scientific name has always been Asteraceae novae angleae. Now, I was looking at a wonderful site https://newyork.plantatlas.usf.edu/) (where you can search for plants to figure out if they are native to New York State --always a useful thing). When I put 'aster' or 'asteraceae' into the search panel..nuthin'. So, I used the 'common name' function and put 'aster' in and came up with a huge list of things and now find out that 'New England Asters' have been heaved out of the 'asteraceae' boat and are now found under 'Symphyotricum' (say that one three times fast) along with a whole raft of other socalled 'asters'. However, be aware that not all flowers that have always been referred to as 'asters' will be found there. For example - Wood asters, rough asters, showy asters, and so on have been evicted from their usual naming and are now under 'Eurypia'. To add to the confusion -- commercial seed providers and wholesale growers are (because they know that 'aster' is the language we all speak) still listing these items as 'asters', knowing that none of us speak 'symphyotricum' and 'eurypia' yet. Wouldn't you know? 🤓

Digitalis obscurus – Truly unique golden coloration. True perennial.
Remember: we will have more and other plants over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!!
