LAST WEEKEND’S 16th ANNUAL SPRINGFIESTA WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! THANK YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR WEEKEND WITH US!
What a great way to KICK OFF Spring!
- Kids had so much fun with the Fairies making Fairy Gardens and planting seed and making sand painting crafts
- The Garden Guru banked about $8.25 in nickels
- Valerie was tending to her “babies”!
- Mary Anne was successful in demonstrating propagation of plants
- The Greenhouse was busy seeding
- Trish was a hit with all the Fairy Gardens she helped our customers create!
- Sam “The Compost Man” had a blast talking about mulch, worms and compost
- Paul was having a great time showing off our annuals and perennials
- Plants and trees were flying out the door to get established in their new homes!
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING OUR SPRINGFIESTA A HUGE SUCCESS!

TIMING THE EASTER LILY CROP!
Christmas is always held on December 25 so growing Poinsettias is fairly easy. Depending on which calendar is used, the Gregorian or the Julian, Easter can be as early as the end of March or as late as early May. Most use the Gregorian calendar which determines that Easter will be held on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox which this year occurred on March 20. The first full moon will occur on April 19, therefore, Easter falls on April 21.
Timing the crop also takes into consideration the outside temperatures, how many sunny days versus cloudy days. This all affects the temperatures inside the greenhouse. With Easter being so late, we have had to be creative in slowing down the crop. Needless to say, we experience many sleepless nights at this time of year. Cross your fingers that we have Easter lilies still blooming on Easter Sunday.
HAPPY GARDENING!
THE GARDEN GURU IS SO PROUD TO INTRODUCE A NEW SHRUB FROM PAYNE’S!
Last week, was Payne’s 16th ANNUAL SPRINGFIESTA! The Garden Guru and the Payne’s TEAM made last weekend a huge success! There were educational booths, food, music and so much more! Everyone had a wonderful time!
Lynn also introduced listeners to a new shrub that he just thinks is a wonderful addition to the Payne’s Nursery inventory! It is a perfect plant for Northern New Mexico, and is actually native to China. This shrub blooms and covers the whole plant with flowers when blooming. It will be a tall plant and is drought tolerant! Listen to Lynn’s tip to find out what this plant is called!
Tune in every Friday on KHFM Radio (95.5 FM) between 4 and 5 pm you’ll hear Lynn Payne’s tip of the week. The “Garden Guru” himself provides information on different topics including gardening tips, fun facts about plants, how to plant and prepare your garden for each season and special announcements.
