Wow! The rainy days and cloudy skies this past
week in Clovis have been so rewarding, but now it's time to break out the color
in our gardens and outdoor spaces. We
have a great selection of beautiful, healthy, and colorful hanging
baskets. Just the touch you need to
dress up your outside areas... a beautiful basket crammed with color and ready
to sway above your head in a happy-go-lucky way.
Hanging baskets will continue
bringing pops of color all summer with just a little care and maintenance. Be sure to water regularly. Even though we have had a lot of rain this
May, you need to check your hanging baskets daily. Because they are hanging, they can dry out
more quickly and need a regular supply of water and nutrients. We recommend that you water daily and
fertilize on a weekly basis to keep your baskets full and flowing all
summer.
Early morning is the best
time of day to water so plants can take water into their tissues before the day
heats up. Since our area can become hot, dry,
and windy, it's good idea to check your baskets in the afternoon as well. Baskets like to stay evenly moist so if they
do get to dry, set them in a large pan of water to refresh the plants and let
them soak up the water they need. Some
flowers like petunias, for example, may need a little dead-heading throughout
the season.
Stop by the nursery and check
our colorful assortment of hanging baskets!
