<br />
Don't forget to water. This is a critical time for ripening veggies so don't let them dry out if the rain slows down. Water deeply and thoroughly.<br />
<br />
Keep harvesting. Get out into the garden every day if you can to keep everything picked clean at the peak of ripeness. Beans, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and so on will keep producing if you keep picking. Share extra with neighbors and loved ones, or preserve for the long winter ahead.<br />
<br />
Plant some quick crops. All kinds of greens will pop up and be ready to eat before first frost if you plant them now. No open space left in the garden? Scatter the seeds under tall growing plants like corn and tomatoes. They'll appreciate the shade. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Annual Gardens and Containers</b></u><br />
If it needs a haircut, give a haircut! There is still time for flowering annuals to recover from a haircut and bloom again before frost. Snip off spent flowers to encourage a re-bloom.<br />
<br />
Repot your containers. Give those plants a fresh new home if possible, with new potting soil and a bigger container. If that's not possible, take the top 3 or 4 inches of potting soil from the container and replace with fresh stuff.<br />
<br />
Begin prepping for winter beauty. Plenty of annuals will stay blooming an beautiful long into the winter if you bring them into the house before frost. Pot up a few geraniums, petunias, fuschias, nemesia, etc. in hanging baskets or containers, and remember to bring those containers in before frost.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Herb Gardens</b></u><br />
Harvest herbs frequently to keep them producing like herbal factories. Dry the harvest completely and store in zip top bags for winter use, or freeze in ice cube trays.<br />
<br />
Pot up a few good specimens for household plants. Rosemary will live happily through winter in the house, but not so happily under four feet of snow. Even tender annuals like parsley and basil make good houseplants, although don't be too disappointed if they give up the ghost in February. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Trees & Shrubs </b></u><br />
Trim out the dead wood. Get down inside your shrubs and cut away dead sticks from the center. Blooming shrubs which are past their bloom benefit from a moderate haircut at this time of year, but don't go overboard.<br />
<br />
Pick some apples. Keep an eye on your apple and other fruit trees. If the branches are bending under the weight of ripening fruit, pick some (even thought it's not ripe yet). The fruit that is left behind will finish larger and juicier, and no branches will break.<br />
<br />
Plant new trees and shrubs now. It's the perfect time to plant these items- they have time to get their roots down before winter sets in. <br />

clean cut through the stem of the plant, a great tool for deadheading and
cutting back perennials. Avoid anvil type pruners as they can crush and damage
the stem of the plant. Hedge shears are useful for pruning several stems at one
time, a great tool for fall and spring cleanup. Smaller pruners should be used
when doing more delicate and detailed pruning. And of course, the best pruning
tool of all, your fingers. </span></div>

Removing the old flowers is beneficial for the plant because it promotes the growth of new flowers. If the flowers are left on the plant they will eventually go to seed. The production of seeds consumes a great deal of a plant's energy. When the plant's energy is not being used to produce seeds, the energy is focused on producing vegetative and root growth, resulting in a stronger plant.<b> </b></span></div>

Columbine, Achillea, Aegopodium, Ajuga, Alchemilla, Aster, Dianthus, Echinacea, and Violas are some of the more common plants that self-seed.

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cutting back may be considered a drastic form of pruning in the garden. Cutting back refers to pruning a plant to renew its appearance, encourage new growth and flowering. Cutting back can be done either before or after flowering. Cutting a plant back to the ground is beneficial for certain spring blooming perennials. Cutting back perennials can control the flowering time and height of the plant. When cutting a plant back, buds, flowers, and leaves may all be removed. Approximately two inches of stem should be left of the plant when cutting to the ground.<b> </b>Hedge shears are the best tool for cutting back plants. </span></div>

Removing the terminal bud of a plant will cause the side buds to produce more flowers. The flowers will be smaller, but more numerous than if the terminal bud was left intact. </span></div>

Disbudding is a pruning technique that is commonly used on dahlias, mums, carnations, and peonies. Disbudding should be done before the buds are too large. Waiting too long to disbud can cause scars along the plant's stem. </span></div>

<b>Thinning</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Thinning perennials refers to the removal of stems from a plant. The benefits of thinning perennials are improved appearance, increase flower size, and disease prevention. To thing a plant, cut the stems to the ground in spring. A rule of thumb is to thin one in three stems. The following plants are prone to rot or mildew, and thinning improves the air circulation around the plant: aster, delphinium, morado , phlox, lady's mantle, bugleweed, bee balm, and lamb's ear. </div>

<b>Pruning Spring-Flowering Perennials</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Pruning spring-flowering plants can be beneficial in several ways. Many of the lowe-growing rock garden and edgin gplants will benefit from being cut back to one-half the size of the plant after flowering. Prunin gback by one-half the size of the plant will prevent it from opening up at the center, which looks unattractive in the garden. Rock garden plants that benefit from this type of pruning are evergreen candy tuft, maiden pink, and moss phlox. Some plants such as catmint will rebloom after pruning. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Pruning Summer Flowering Perennials</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The main difference between pruning spring versus summer-flowering perennials is the amount of cutting back that is required after flowering. Depending on your objective, some perennials should be pruned before flowering and others should be pruned after flowering. Pruning after floweirng improves the aesthetics of the garden. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
When the weather has been very hot and dry, the plants usually look a little weather beaten. Depending on the species, some plants should be cut to new basal foliage, and others should be cut to the ground. Some plants look best if they are cut back by one-half or one-third of their mature height. When pruning perennials, cutting out the brown parts of the plant will stimulate growth of fresh green foliage. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The following perennials benefit from cutting back in the summer: lady's mantle, false indigo, geum, sunflower, daylily, dianthus, garden phlox, and spiderwort. </div>

creative mix of country pops when you add the gazing balls to the wagon. Other
props, such as old farm equipment or even garden tools, are easily embellished
with gazing balls. Place an old pitchfork in the ground on an angle and set a
rusted red gazing ball at the bottom of the fork for another eye-catching

gazing balls began in a formal fashion. Gazing balls are quite at home in any
elegant garden setting. In a formal garden setting, it is important to pay
attention to selecting a refined pedestal and making your gazing ball or group
of balls a focal point. When placed in a group, the balls will have a more
dramatic effect. For a modern and elegant feel, try using copper or bronze
balls. When placed next to a reflection pond or incorporated into garden
sculpture, gazing balls add a fresh edge to any formal garden.</span></div>

polished silver gazing ball blends well with the natural elements in the garden
and can be placed directly on pebbles or rocks in a medium to large garden or

water and placing a silver or copper gazing ball in the center of the tray for
a dazzling centerpiece in your Zen setting.</span></div>

Heucheras like fertile, well-drained soils with partial sun or shade — morning sun and afternoon shade is perfect. Those are the ideal conditions, but they are fairly adaptable. However, they do not like wet or heavy soils. Another one of heuchera’s good characteristics for northern gardeners is that deer do not like them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Heucheras are flexible design elements in the garden. They can be edger plants along a sidewalk or a standout plant in a rock garden. They look nice under trees or among other shorter perennials. They can be used to great effect in containers, providing the “filler” of the thriller,<br />

prevent tears when you find your prized tomato plant cut off at the
root by some nasty bug!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Petunias, marigolds and geraniums can be planted in a border around the
garden or trees. If you want the benefit of catnip without digging it
out of your garden for years to come, put in a large clay pot and place
nearby. For other pest preventers, thoughtful interplanting of
vegetables can help with the process.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hardy Chrysanthemums, or Garden Mums, are popular plants that
have been used in the gardens of China since before 550B.C.Their blooms brighten
garden beds and borders from early August through November with blooms that often
last for many weeks.Some varieties begin blooming earlier than others. Mums come
in a wide assortment of colors including white, many shades of yellow, pink, lavender,
red and bronze.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today,Mums are a large part of the fall harvest season and are
a great way to brighten and bring color to any spot in the garden. Mums are
also great for use in containers, window boxes and around front entryways. </div>

</span></span></span>If planting in the ground, enrich the soil by
mixing in a generous quantity of compost or peat moss, a cup of bone meal and
lime (if needed, mums like a pH of 6.2-7.0). Work it all into the soil to a depth
of 8 – 12 ½”. In window boxes or containers, use a good potting mix such as Dr.
Earth’s Premium. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

container. If the root mass is dense, gently tease apart the outer roots so
they can more readily grow into the new soil. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pruning (Pinching) and
Deadheading </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To keep plants dense and for maximum flower production, mums
should be pinched occasionally. Pinching is a form of pruning used to remove
the end or terminal buds. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just place your thumb and index finger below a terminal bus
and squeeze until the bud is removed. Do this all over the top and sides of the
plant. Start when plants are 4-6” all, repeating every 4-6 weeks or as needed
until around July 4<sup>th</sup>. Flower buds will begin to form shortly
thereafter so no more pinching is needed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For larger individual flowers, when the flower buds form, selectively
remove all stems except 4 or 5 of the strongest ones. Energy will be redirected
to these buds, resulting in fewer but larger flowers per plant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">After Blooming</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the flowers fade and the foliage dies back (mid to
late-December) cut your mums down to the grown and mark or label the location
of each individual plant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apply a 3-4” layer of organic mulch (shredded cedar, pine
bark, wood chips, ect) to protect the roots during the winter and to prevent
them from heaving in the freezing and thawing of the earth. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">In the Spring</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the snow has melted, remove the mulch from the base of
each plant to allow the sun to warm the soil and trigger new growth. Fertilize
with a good granular fertilizer like 5-10-5. Continue to fertilize every 4-6
weeks through September. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Making New Plants</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For best appearance and productivity mums should be dug and
divided every 2 or 3 years. This can be done in late-March or April when new
growth is 4 – 6 ½” high. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dig up the mum clumps with a form or shovel. Separate the
shoots from the mother plant with a sharp knife. Each shoot should include 1 –
2 ½” of roots. Plant the new plants following instructions outlined above;
discard the old clump. Pinch the plants when they become established. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mums are also easily propagated (rooted) from stem cuttings
taken in the spring from new, vigorous growth. </div>

Dicentra (Bleeding Hearts) is an old time favorite for the shade garden
characterized by dangling heart-<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.growingcolors.com/_ccLib/image/plants/DETA-1164.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.growingcolors.com/_ccLib/image/plants/DETA-1164.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
shaped flowers in spring. Dicentra grows best
in filtered sunlight in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Plants have a
tendency to go dormant in the heat of summer or if the soil becomes too dry. To
help maintain summer foliage, keep soil evenly moist and provide more shade.<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Dicentra ‘Luxuriant’ features
deeply-cut, fern-like, grayish-green foliage which persists throught the
growing season and cherry red, nodding, heart-shaped flowers carried above the
foliage on long, leafless, leaning stems. This variety typically grows to 15”
tall. Blooming begins in late spring. With cool weather, this variety will
continue to bloom or re-bloom. ‘Luxuriant’ is deer resistant, shade tolerant,
and attracts hummingbirds making it a great addition to any garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

open up on the flowering trees and bushes, so you can easily talk us into
spring sessions. Unfortunately, there's such a short window of opportunity.

When I arrived, 7 days later, there were no blooms left! <br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Watering: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Newly planted trees and shrubs
will require you to water them periodically for another 2 to 3 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In general, most trees will need to be
watered weekly the first years, every two weeks the second year, and every
three weeks the third year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with at
planting, place a hose at the base of the plant and turn the water on at a
trickle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each tree should be watered in
this manner for approximately 1 to 2 hours. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is essential to water slowly enough to
allow the water to penetrate the soil without running off. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to water your tree or shrub before the
first hard frost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may help
eliminate winter kill on the roots. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Fertilizing: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">You should fertilize your tree
with granular fertilizers such as 10-10-10 at a rate of 1 cup per 2 caliper
inches of trunk (diameter of trunk one foot above the ground). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ensure
that the fertilizer has at least 50% slow release Nitrogen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spread fertilizer around tree at the drip line
or at the outer edge of the root ball. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fertilize in early April-June.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Water well after fertilizing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

will decompose over time and it is essential to replenish the mulch ever 1 to 3
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mulch provides insulation for the
roots, aides in holding moisture, helps prevent weed germination, and provides
nutrition as it decomposes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 71.85pt;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Insect, Disease
and Pest Control: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">It is recommended that you monitor your plants for insect and disease
pressures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few insects or a little
powdery mildew will not decimate you tree, however high numbers of certain pest
can severely stress and harm your tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once you have determined or had a professional determine if the pest is
detrimental, you can have it treated professionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or you may pick up the right product for the
right pest from our Garden Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -4.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">To protect your tree or shrub from mice and moles, put
wire mesh around the trunk and into the ground about two inches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have the mesh wire go approximately two feet
up the tree. Put tree wrap around the base and up to the first branch before
winter. Be sure to remove the tree wrap in the spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Insect, Disease and Pest
Control for Apple Trees: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">When buds first show green but before leaves are ½” long, spray with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dormant Oil Volick Spray. </b>This controls
mites, scales, and aphids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When flowers
first show pink tips but before blooming, spray with an all purpose spray. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Home and Orchid Spray. </b>This controls
apple scab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After petals fall, spray
with the same all-purpose fruit spray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Pruning: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Your Beier’s Greenhouse tree
is a nursery cultivated tree and should already have a desired shape at
installation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, you will always
need to be on the lookout for crossing branches that rub on each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also a good idea to thin out the tree
ever 3 to 5 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This invigorates new
growth and fullness. Be sure not to cut out the “leader” of the tree. Prune
shade and apple trees in late March or early April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prune evergreens in late June through
July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remembering the three “D’s”- dead,
dying or diseased; these are the branches to look for and prune out <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">anytime. </b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Pollination for Apple Trees: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Apple trees generally are not
self-fertile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two varieties are needed
to be productive. Two varieties should be used in each apple tree planting to
serve as a source of pollen for the other variety. Cross-pollination is possible
only when varieties bloom approximately at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Length of bloom is usually 7 to 15 days.
Early bloomers should be planted with early to mid-season bloomers and late
bloomers should be planted with mid-season to late bloomers. </span></div>

<strong>A Little Extra Work Goes a Long Way</strong></h2>
Mulching around tomatoes is perhaps the most overlooked (and important) part
of growing quality tomato plants. Mulching with (herbicide-free) grass
clippings, straw, or fabric will not only keep the weeds out, but also prevent
blight. Tomato Blights live in the soil and hurt the plants when that soil
bounces up and hits the bottom leaves. Mulching around the stalk and out a few
feet will help to prevent blight from ruining your crop.<br />
<h2>
<strong>What's wrong with my tomatoes?</strong></h2>
By no means is this a complete list of tomato problems, but knowing a little
information about tomatoes now can prevent a lot of google searches for
"black spots on tomatoes" later.<br />
<h2>
<strong>Blight</strong></h2>
If you notice your bottom leaves turning yellow and brown with spots of
black there's a good chance you've already been infected with a blight. To be
sure, bring a sample to our Lawn and Garden employees for an identification.
Pick infected leaves off and spray the rest of the plant with a copper fungicide to prevent the blight from spreading (wash hands and tools before
touching another plant). Always water at the base of the plant and never from
above. Proper watering will ensure happy, blight-free tomatoes.<br />
<h2>
<strong>Blossom End Rot</strong></h2>
You've spent your summer mulching, watering, and fertilizing, the time is
finally <br />
You've worked hard for this moment. Cherish it. You pick your perfect
tomatoes and that's the moment the anger sets in. The bottom of your tomatoes
are black... You gave them enough sun. You mulched. You watered from the
bottom. You did everything right. Well, sort of. Fertilizing tomatoes correctly
is another important step. Blossom End Rot is caused by a calcium deficiency.
To prevent Blossom End Rot, use a fertilizer with a good amount of calcium. We
recommend Tomato Maker. <br />
<h2>
<strong>Insects</strong></h2>
Well, it looks like you're not the only one who thinks tomatoes are delicious.
Bugs like tomatoes too. There are some easy and safe fixes. For spraying the
insects we like a product called Captain Jack's Deadbug by Bonide. It's natural, and best of all, it works. They eat the aphids and
not the plants.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Any soil that grows good garden crops will also grow an abundance of strawberries. It may be sandy or even a heavy clay. Sandy loam is ideal. <b>Good moisture and drainage is important</b>. Plenty of organic matter in the soil is good for holding moisture. The best berry production requires full sunlight for at least 8 hours a day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before planting work cow manure into the soil. It is the best material for good berry growth. Approximately 4 weeks after planting apply a balanced fertilizer of (10-10-10) . It should be sprinkled around the base of the plant without getting on leaves. <b> Do not apply fertilizer when the leaves are wet.</b> Do not apply fertilizer during the Spring on fruiting beds. Fertilize in the late summer (August or September) prior to next years harvest as fruit beds for spring develop in the fall.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Early Spring is the best time to plant strawberries. The suggested planting dates for Northern Minnesota is April 15 - July 15. Fall planting is not recommended. Expect 2 or 3 years of good berry production with a well-planted and tended strawberry patch. After that, if yields become smaller, then your patch should be replaced with new plants. Also, the location should be changed. The dangers of building up disease and insect populations will be reduced by changing the site.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Plant strawberry plants 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Much of your success in growing berries depends on how you handle your plants. They should be planted promptly. <b>DO NOT LET THEM DRY OUT. </b>Any method of planting that lets the roots go reasonably straight down, spreading wide for increased feeding area is good. Soil should be pressed firmly against the roots with the crown of the plant just at the surface with no roots showing. If the crown of the plant is covered with soil, the plant will eventually die. <b>"Ask for our pictured hand out that shows proper planting". </b> Be sure the root ball is very moist before planting. Always water plants well prior to planting and again after transplanting. The initial watering should be clear water. Do not use fertilizer at this time.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Shortly after the strawberry plants are planted they will produce blossoms, which should be removed. This will improve plant growth. Some cultivation and light hoeing may be necessary to control weeds.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After harvest it is beneficial to thin your beds. Mow off the leaves by raising your mower so as not to damage the plant crowns. Thin the bed with a rake or hoe, leaving 4 to 6 inches between plants. If it is dry, water your plants after bed renewal. At this time you can do a light application of fertilizer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mulching is necessary for winter protection. In case of sudden very cold temperatures, the crowns and roots may be damaged. Apply 3 to 4 inches of straw. The mulch will keep the temperature at ground level from dropping suddenly. Mulch, also, converses moisture in the spring, delays flowering, makes better picking conditions and reduces rot on the berries. <b> Prepare for rodent inhabitation, use bait protection.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.15pt; tab-stops: 731.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Transplanting from an old bed will often cause problems in your new patch. Keep patch clean and weed free. Remove over ripe fruit that attracts insects. Overcrowded beds tend to have more fruit rot. Thus bed renewal wil prevent this problem.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">RED SPIDER AND MITE CONTROL: </span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Mites attack strawberry plants. Spraying with KELTHANE will help control this problem. Begin spraying as soon as growth starts. Repeat 2 or 3 times.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">STRAWBERRY FRUIT ROTS:</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Many gardeners grow a beautiful crop of berries only to lose the crop to fruit rots. Make timely sprays of Benlate & Captan to control these fungi. There are several fruit rots caused by fungi, but they all have one trait in common - they can infect a berry in any stage of its development.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Light</u></b></div><div>Track patterns of sun and shade in your garden and choose plant materials that are appropriate for your light conditions. Add golds & white to brighten dark areas and use strong colors for "pop" in sun areas. Don't forget to develop shady areas for gathering on hot and sunny days. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Soil</u></b></div><div>Sandy to clay. Dry to moist. let your garden's soil guide your plant selection. Do you need a clay busting cone flower or a drought tolerant barberry? Consider amending your soil to give your plants the best changes of survival. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Zone and Microclimate</u></b></div><div>Northern Minnesota is on the edge of being Zone 4, and many plants succeed very well. (All plants sold at Beier's Greenhouse will grow here; some are grown as annuals because of the weather.) In some yards with protection, a micro climate is created that lets you get away with some zone 5 plantings. Questions you should ask yourself before thinking about going out of zone 4 plants: Which plants thrive in your zone? Which plants require winter protection? How exposed is your garden to the elements?</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Function</u></b></div><div>How will your space be used? For outdoor entertaining or a child's play area? Do you need to improve drainage, retain a slope, or create some screening? identify your needs for the garden and create spaces that have purpose. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Color and Texture</u></b></div><div>Think bold and subdued, like Purple Smokebush and Russian Sage, or smoothing and rough, like Cut Leaf Sumac and Pine. Flowers, foliage, bark and hardscape materials will have color and texture. Think about what materials will compliment, create contrasts, and provide seasonal interest. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Scent & Sound</u></b></div><div>Place fragrant plants near outdoor gathering spaces and near windows to take advantage of the scents. Incorporate the sounds of water, birds, the rustling of leaves or wind chimes to enhance the garden experience and to mask distractions. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Scale</u></b></div><div>Is your garden in a small urban backyard or in a rural field? Can your site accommodate a six foot Hydrangea tree or a sixty foot Catalpa tree?Be sure to use appropriate sized plants and hardscape materials to best enhance the scale of your site. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Personal Style</u></b></div><div>What has special meaning to you? Cottage flowers, formal hedges, prairie grasses, garden sculptures? Do you require low maintenance natives or formal, sculpted ornamentals? Incorporate your personal style and let others see that this is your garden. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Architecture</u></b></div><div>Compliment the style of your home in the garden. Formal architecture fits best with formal landscape, as prairie style fits best with a more informal landscape. try to bring smaller architectural pieces into the garden through arbors, gazebos, decks, patios, fences, and more. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><u>Unity</u></b></div><div>Carry similar plants, colors, textures and themes throughout your garden. Unify separate spaces through repetition. Mass plant instead of trying one of everything. this will make your garden flow from one space to the next. </div><br />

growth and development of a plant that would otherwise be healthy and
beautiful! Growing indoors is fun and easy, once you know how to
properly provide and care for your plants. Here is some great
information on when to start seeds indoors for optimum growth and
performance.<br />
<i><b>Sort your Seed Packets</b></i><br />
Start by separating all your packets of seed into two piles:
those that will be "direct-sown" (planted right in the garden) and
those that will be started indoors. The outdoors pile will include most
vegetables, such as peas, beans, corn, radishes, carrots, beets,
lettuce, spinach, melons, cucumbers, and squash. Put a rubber band
around whatever seeds you'll be planting outdoors and set them aside.<br />
Most annual flowers will also go into the direct-sow pile:
zinnias, asters, nasturtiums, sunflowers, bachelor's buttons, and
calendula. If your growing season is very short or your garden
conditions are especially difficult, you may decide to put some of
these annual flowers into your "sow indoors" pile. Most perennial
flowers will need to be started indoors.<br />
Now spread out your "sow indoors" pile and start reading the
back of the seed packets. Sort your packets into piles according to
these directions, making separate piles for 5, 7, 9 weeks, and so on.
Some packets, especially those for perennials, may only tell you how
long it takes the seeds to germinate. If that's all you have to go on,
take that figure (which is usually a range) and add 6 weeks. Then put
the packet into the appropriate pile.<br />
If there's no information on the seed packet, you can pretty
safely just start all your seeds about 6 weeks before you'll plant
them outdoors. Make note of which plants are too big or too small at
planting time, and then you can make adjustments next year based on
your notes.<br />
<i><b>Creating the Calendar</b></i><br />
To calculate your planting dates, you need to count back
from the last frost date in one-week increments. Some gardeners base
their calendar on Saturdays, because that is the day most gardeners
have time to plant. Ask a local gardener or call your local extension
service if you don't know the last frost date for your area. Simply
write the week number (8,4, 6 or whatever) on each seed packet and use a
rubber band to keep each pile together. When the planting week
arrives, you just grab the right packet and start planting.<br />
<i><b>Making Adjustments</b></i><br />
Now that you have a great schedule, here are a couple reasons you may want to make some adjustments:<br />
Start earlier: Seeds take longer to germinate and plants
grow more slowly when air and soil temperatures are cool (below 70
degrees F). If you plan to start your seeds in a cool basement or cool
bedroom, you may want to shift your whole schedule a week or two
earlier.<br />
You can see on my schedule that I start some greens and
broccoli at the end of February. That's because these seedlings get
planted outside about a month before the last frost date. If you have a
cold frame or greenhouse, or if you use row covers or water-filled
teepees, you can plant tender seedlings several weeks before the last
frost date. Just count back from that expected planting date to get the
right date to sow your seeds.<br />
Start later: If you grow your seedlings in a greenhouse or a
very warm room, you should cut a week or more out of your schedule.
Heat promotes rapid growth, and you could find yourself with giant
plants that are ready for the garden before warm weather arrives.<br />

color and life up off the ground and right into view! Use these pruning
techniques to keep your baskets blooming like mad until fall rolls
around and kills everything.<br />
“Self-cleaning” plants do better with a little attention,
though they will stay neat longer than their messier cousins. Snip spent
petunia blossoms by cutting off the fine green flower stem back to the
branch. Don't just pull the blown blossoms because that makes the plant
think it should set seed.<br />
Encourage branching in all types of hanging basket plants by
snipping three stems in half every week. It's an easy rule to remember:
three stems in half every seven days. Snip!<br />
Snip unruly branches to keep the overall look neat. Cut them
off about four inches from the soil line and they'll come back with
more manners.<br />
Did you know you can bring hanging baskets inside when fall
arrives? Choose the strongest ones to overwinter. Shear them back
severely—the longest branches should be just a few inches below the
bottom of the pot. They'll need to rest in their new window homes for
several weeks. Fertilize every month throughout the winter and come
February you may see a few blossoms coming out.<br />
Geraniums in hanging baskets need their flowers deadheaded
when all the buds underneath are fully opened. Snip the whole flower
stem off back to the branch.<br />
Prune ivy geraniums in hanging baskets to give them a
rounder shape. This will often encourage more blooming as well as
looking very nice.<br />
Begonias and impatiens in hanging baskets also like to be
pruned. Follow the three/seven rule, and deadhead spent flower stems as
well.<br />
For nasturtiums and other vining plants, cut yellow leaves near the soil line at the same time you're pruning.<br />
Fuchsia is an extremely low-maintenance hanging basket
plant. Look them over for weak stems and spent flowers about once a
week.<br />
Filler plants like verbena and lobelia should get a gentle
shake to deadhead. When they're starting to get tired toward the hot
days of summer, shear off about 1/3 of these plants and they'll come
back nicely in a couple of weeks.<br />
Here's an interesting bonus tip that makes great sense:
When it's time to fertilize hanging baskets, water first with plain
water and allow the basket to drain thoroughly for an hour. Follow this
with a thorough drink of fertilizer mixed according to the package
directions. This two step process keeps soluble salts to a minimum and
helps avoid fertilizer burn.<br />

</span>To ensure you have straight rows you can pull a string across the
gardening bed, and push the bulbs into the earth just along the string.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure you watch the freshly planted
onions because birds like to peck them out of the soil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For that case keep a few extra bulbs and
plant those when you notice that some bulbs have gone missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you find that the birds are too large a
problem to fix with a few bulbs, it will be helpful to protect the onions with
a bird netting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you find that first
pushes up the onion bulbs, push them back down to help them grow better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The frost will not harm the onion since it
likes cool moist temperatures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure
you water the bulbs right after planting. </span></div>

harvest the leaves will bend over, but usually you can just pull up the onions
you deed for table use, or you can harvest all the onions at the same
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the largest onion it might
help if you lift them up with a fork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you want to enjoy the onions in the winter months, you should spread the onions
on sheets of newspaper in a dry, warm place for about 2 to 4 weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This place should be sunny, but don’t let the
onions get rained on or have dew falling on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will make the sure the onions are dry
and will not rot when you store them in the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the onions are dry you can store them
like store bought onions in net bags, or in slatted trays, or you can tie the
dried stems to string and you can hang them in a cool dry place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This method of storing will let you eat
onions will into the spring.</span></div>

Cheerios has gone GMO free. After endless waves of pressure from consumers, Health Food Movement groups, and petitions, Cheerios in the U.S. have become a Genetically Modified (GMO)-Free product! <br />

<u><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Discussion on GMOs</span></i></b></u></div>
<div>
If you are not aware about what GMOs are, a product that contains "GMOs" is a product that is made of genetically modified produce such as corn. The use of GMOs in our food supply has not been studied for longitudinal effects on consumers. Due to this reason and other concerns, GMOs have been banned by the European Union, Australia, Japan, the U.K. and other places. A large cause for alarm in America is the fact that GMO products are not clearly labeled "containing GMOs" so as a result, many Americans remain unaware of the possible risks of consuming GMO products.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another bad thing about GMOs is that they limit the variety of the specific kind of plant. In order for a species to survive, they must be able to adapt and therefore there must be genetic variations and reproduction to ensure the survival of the species. GMO products are very specific in their DNA meaning that should the crop experience a hardship, it may not be able to survive putting farmers and communities that largely depend on these products largely at risk. Genetic mutations in DNA is not such a foreign concept to many of us, these mutations can result in many health problems such as development of cancer. Once a mutation occurs, there is no turning back and if we limit our food production to GMO specific varieties and an unexpected mutation occurs, serious consequences should take place.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There have not been any studies to suggest that GMO products are safe for consumption. Most GMO crops also require many different fertilizers, and harmful pesticides that can show up in the food you eat and feed to your family without you even knowing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please keep in mind that the purpose of this article is to inform you about GMOs, but not turn you against them. The intentions behind GMO products are not that of disaster, but rather to produce a product cheaper, easier, quicker, and better looking. However, pay attention to the foods that you eat and feed your family and remember that growing your own food and eating locally grown produce is the best choice for healthy living.</div>

It's no surprise that diet and exercise will lead to a slimmer you, but many people are unaware of the things that they are putting into there bodies on a daily basis. Even foods that say "Certified Organic" or "All natural" should not escape your critical eye. We are asking you, what is in the food you eat?</div>
<div _mce_style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;" align="left" style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;">

Food is an essential part of your health because as the old saying goes, "You are what you eat." But how often do you take the time to figure out what is in your food? Have you done your research? Processed foods may be filled with preservatives, addictive artificial sugars, genetically modified crops (GMOS), and extra chemicals that pose a risk on your health's longevity. </div>
<div _mce_style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;" align="left" style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;">

We believe in healthy nutrition, lifestyles, and maximum wellness and we want to help you take control over what you eat and what you feed to your family. While being consumer savvy is a huge step in healthy nutrition, growing your own food is the best method to achieving a healthy "NEW YOU" that you desire to become in 2014!
