Red-Eared Sliders- A lot of you visit them at the nursery, now you can visit them on the web, Click here to learn about them. We do a few visits locally to schools and pet clubs to teach about these fascinating creatures. Please contact us for more info. On June 18, 2005 our large female Red-Eared Slider left the pond and we were lucky to see her while she was laying a clutch of eggs. She laid seven at that time and six more on July 6. Please visit our slider page
New Jersey is one of the best states for gardening for many reasons. Our climate is good, our soils decent, and we are gifted with some of the best growers in the country. There are a wide range of plants for us to make use of in gardening. The Plants Page will contain some of the best new or under used plants for our area. There are pages with information on annuals, perennials, shrubs, and herbs. You can also find pages that address more specific areas, such as Butterfly plants, Daylilies, Ornamental grasses, Hosta, and others. We put a strong emphasis on locally grown plants. They have been acclimated to our area, withstood our weather changes, and proven themselves here. We will also try to show some of the problems that NJ gardeners are encountering and what may help against these problems. Please support your local nursery, greenhouse grower, and garden center. Our links page includes some of the best of them as well as other informational sites. New Jersey growers are faced with a wide range of different challenges and have proven to be an adaptable, imaginative, and interesting group. There are a number of people in agriculture who help to make gardening in New Jersey more enjoyable. I hope to let you know some of them better. A good place to start is on the Union County Board of Agriculture's Union County Jersey Fresh Website.

Well into summer now and what a ride it has been!! After a wet winter, Mother nature has reversed herself and given us the warmest June since record keeping began. It has also been extremely dry and breezy making lawns, plants, and people suffer. No real rain in sight- possible storms but we need a couple of days of rain to break this now. We also carry an excellent
supply of soaker hoses and sprinklers!! It has been a good year for vegetable gardening with tomatoes, peppers and such enjoying the warmth and responding with excellent growth.

| Please check out Ruah Donnelly's book "The Adventurous Gardener- Where to buy the Best Plants in New York and New Jersey". And not just because my nursery is listed in there. There are some of the best nurseries and growers in the two states for the discriminating plant hunters. Ruah had already written "The Adventurous Gardener- Where to buy the Best Plants in New England", which was awarded the 2001 Quill and Trowel Award from the Garden Writer's Association of America. Her latest work covers the Garden and Empire states and some of the great nurseries that can be found there. |
