The photo was taken in 2004, seed prices (like everything else) have certainly gone up in price. And Rocky Mountain Seed Company is no more. 😞
Wishing you a very healthy and happy New Year, plus the best gardening season yet!

Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful - it's DRY!!

We wish we had better news about December weather. Those smart weather forecasting folks at NOAA are predicting warm and dry conditions again this month.
My water bill is creeping up there because our trees and plants aren't going to water themselves. At least we'll get some vitamin D while outside setting up the hoses and sprinkler heads.
Even though your neighbors probably aren't watering their landscape, set a good example by your actions and then try encouraging them to do the same. Let your neighbors know that dry plants roots over the winter can lead to plant stress or death or something in between.
Think ... wet - winter, or wet roots going into the winter season is the best way to care for your plants.
I like to water mid-day so it soaks in well. Move the sprinkler around the drip line of trees every fifteen minutes or so. Also focus on newly planted landscapes or just the newest plants.
