Wildflowers
Who doesn’t love wildflowers? Contrary to popular belief you don’t toss wildflowers on your land and hope they grow. Like most crops they need special tending to get them started. If you are really daring, you might mimic the patterns of the plants whose seeds you want to sprout. But keep in mind wild plants put out thousands of seeds because so many don’t make it. They are looking for the odds to be in their favor. Oh and organic wildflower seeds? Sorry you will probably have to make your own. So many wonderful things can happen when we learn the dance of wildflower propagation. Come Chat with Us!

The long term health of fruit trees in our extreme desert climate depends on three aspects of loving and caring for your fruit tree: Planting, watering, and applying fertilizers at the right times. Plants need to eat and drink daily just like we do, so fertilizing them once a year just isn’t enough. In this webinar we will dig into getting your fruit trees planted for success, discover Greg’s 40 year old watering methodology, observe Janis’s soil types and watering solutions, and learn how to properly fertilize (both foliar and granular) your trees for ultimate success.
