tweaks and additions to it over the next few weeks. Next up is a makeover
for our sister site www.landsteward.org .
Ground cover plants are just beginning to ship out for fall planting. We are
now offering vinca, pachysandra, ivy and purple wintercreeper as bare root
plants. Bare root ground cover plants make a more economical purchase and
when planted properly establish just as quickly as the more expensive potted
plants.
A few of our low growing shrubs that are quite popular this fall are Spiraea
Magic Carpet, Nandina Dwarf Firepower, the City Line Hydrangeas and the
Crimson Pygmy Barberry. Two of our more popular evergreen shrubs this fall
are the Bamboo Sunset Glow and Sungold Cypress.
This week, it seems I am responding to a lot of questions about gardening in
the desert areas. The University of Nevada Extension site offers a wonderful
article that covers everything from explaining the soil and composting to
fertilizer use, planting, lawn care, raised beds, mulch, and watering. All
geared toward the desert garden.

Here is a listing of Greenwood plants that will grow in many of the desert
regions:
Fruit Trees-Apple and Peach

Buddleia
Herbs-Thyme, Rosemary, Chives, Lavender, Oregano
Black Eyed Susan

I hope everyone finds our site's new look friendlier and easier to use.
