Welcome to Begick Nursery

See our SPECIALS page for more information and a picture of: "PLANT OF THE WEEK" Rhus typhina 'Bailtiger' - Tiger Eyes Sumac.

Don't miss the big event this weekend at Begick Nursery & Garden Center - it's our 58th Anniversary Sale.

These cool nights and the wonderful smell in the air mean fall is coming. Fall is an enjoyable time with the cooler temperatures to get outside and work in the garden. It is an excellent time to restore your lawn because the cooler weather encourages root growth and soil temperatures have warmed up through the summer to promote good germination. Be sure to apply a fall application of fertilizer to help your lawn get ready for winter.

Cold tolerant annuals that will bloom late into the year like pansies, cabbage, kale, asters and mums in bright colors are now available. Replace fading annuals in containers with a fresh pot of fall annuals to liven things up for longer lasting color. If annuals are stilling looking good continue to fertilize and water until frost, they will repay you with blooms far longer than you would expect. If frost is expected before you are ready to pull them out, cover with burlap, a blanket or paper, not plastic to protect them against the cold.

If you want a beautiful and colorful garden this spring now is the time to plant spring flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips. If you've lost blooms to the squirrels and rabbits try planting alliums, grape hyacinths, fritillaria and daffodils. No plant is totally safe from hungry critters but these should last the longest. When planting, remember to mix fertilizer such as bone meal into the soil and plant bulbs in clumps for a more impressive impact.

There are many perennials for fall color as well, like sedums, anemone, asters and beautiful ornamental grasses that stand tall all winter long. Maintain a fertilizing, deadheading and watering program to help plants go into winter as healthy as possible. Mark what plants need to be divided and moved after they die back from a hard frost. Keep watering trees and shrubs whenever necessary until the ground freezes, sometimes as late as January.

Roses should continue to produce flowers until after the first hard frost but stop cutting them back now and let roses form hips to signal the plant that fall is approaching. Continuing to prune will encourage new growth and use up energy that should be directed to roots rather than shoots. Major pruning of roses should be done in spring not in fall. If you had problems with black spot, other diseases and insects be sure to pick up all infected leaves that have fallen and discard, do not compost, and treat canes with a coating of oil and lime sulfur that will kill certian over-wintering insects and diseases for a fresh start next spring. Plan a winter protection program so you can purchase the necessary supplies now and don't use them until it gets cold and stays cold, generally sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It's time to end the outdoor vacation for the houseplants. Bring them back inside while the inside and outside temperatures are the most equal for the least amount of shock. Be sure to maintain an application of sysemtic insecticide every 6 weeks to prevent possible guests from infesting the plants and your home. Check for problems a few days before you plan the move to give yourself time to spray, if needed. Remember that houseplants will not require the same amount of watering indoors through the fall and winter months as they did outdoors in the hotter environment.
