Farmington Gardens
By chellbee at Citysearch June 21, 2011
Went there for the first time yesterday looking for some Lily of the Valley plants (pips). The staff were awesome in helping me locate the few they had and even offered some care tips. Each pot contained 2 pips, about 3-4 inches tall and cost $7 99. Later that day I found on Craigslist someone selling them for $2 a pot, each pot containing 5-6 pips and were twice as tall. Farmington Garden has a wide selection of greenery and most everything looked healthy and cared for. I was impressed how well everything is well marked and the staff were great. Prices could be lower. ...read more

Bob'z utilizes the parking lot of a small strip mall right off the highway as you are driving through. I thought it couldn't amount to much except maybe picking up vegetable plants etc. I have now made it a point on my route because they ha... ...read more

5 Tips for your Fall Landscape
Mow, Fertilize, Aerate Lower your mower's height to 1½ inches to stimulate new crown growth. Fertilize in late-September or early-October with a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Fertilizer not only improves turf quality, root growth and color—it also builds cold resistance into your grass. Fertilize once more in November to get your landscape through winter with style. Aerate grass in September or October as well. Compacted soils are all too common in the Las Vegas Valley. Aeration boosts water penetration, which reduces runoff on slopes and helps water and fertilizer nutrients get down to the roots. Aerate again in the spring. Stop Watering Daily No need to water every day. Conserve water and save money. Cycle-and-Soak Watering Water in three short, four-minute cycles during the early-morning hours. For brown spots or problem areas, try hand watering rather than increasing the timer on your irrigation clock. As weather cools, water in several, short mid-morning cycles to prevent ice formation on driveways and walks. Check your system 1. Inspect filter screens for damage. Clean the filter screens by opening the end of the filter and running water through briefly. Soak the screens in a 50/50 water and vinegar solution if there is mineral buildup. 2. Flush the irrigation lines. Find the end cap and briefly run the system to flush out debris. 3. Check valve boxes for debris buildup or muddy conditions indicating poor drainage. Enjoy Color Now For great fall color, plant flowers like Black-Eyed Susan and Snapdragon, grasses like Regal Mist and trees like the Chinese Pistache and Modesto Ash. If you're the patient type, purchase fall bulbs now for planting in November. These bulbs will yield bright colors in the spring: Anemone, Daffodil, Dahlia, Gladiolus, Hyacinth, Narcissus, Ranunculus and Tulips. Mulch Mulch is the little-noticed workhorse of many a smart gardener's landscape. Mulch is a protective covering—organic or inorganic—we place in a wide circle around plants to prevent moisture evaporation, root freezing and weed growth. Using mulch can reduce evaporation by as much as 30 percent. ...read more

Heat Wave + New Plantings
Investing in shrubs/trees/plants can be costly...so to protect your investment and preserve your beautiful landscape, keep plants plenty hydrated during the hot summer months. We are expected in the greater Portland Beaverton area to have the next 3 days be over 90+ degrees...So water very early in the morning think (before 9am and then water again in the evening after 8pm). Use a soaker hose or hook a nozzle up to your hose and let it go for 10 minutes per area. Please, please, please do not turn your sprinklers on during the middle of the day, that is sure to be a waste of money and will "burn" the plants/grass. For more tips or a free consultation on other landscape projects give us a call 503-356-1772. www.ctlandscapes.com ...read more
