WHY BUY LOCALLY-GROWN POINSETTIAS?

Payne’s greenhouses are bursting with homegrown poinsettias ready for holiday decorating. For the same reasons it’s important to buy locally grown foods, it’s important to buy locally grown plants. Because Payne’s Poinsettias have been growing right here since early July, they are acclimated to Santa Fe’s light and climate. 

They are hardier, larger, fuller and will last longer than big box store plants. Click here to learn more.

Stop by and place your Poinsettias order today. Hurry because they sell out quickly! Gift wrapping for a small fee.

The Christmas cactus is a long-time holiday favorite, and it’s easy to see why. Its bright, trailing blooms show up right when the season begins, and the pinks, whites, oranges, and reds bring such a warm burst of color to winter days.

One of the nicest things about a Christmas cactus is how simple it is to care for. It actually prefers softer light and a regular drink of water, so it fits right in during the hectic holidays without asking for much in return.

Over time, these plants can become real family keepsakes. Many people pass them down from one generation to the next, and their dependable holiday blooms and graceful, arching stems make them a charming part of the season every single year.

ASK THE GARDEN GURU!

ARE FRESH HERBS A GREAT IDEA FOR GARDENING INSIDE DURING THE COLDER MONTHS?

Another GREAT Question!

In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru said gardeners should never stop gardening – especially during these colder months. So why not grow your own herbs.

Lynn said that growing herbs indoors is easy! Stop by Payne’s Nurseries and ask to see our herb selection. Payne’s has a variety of herbs — the common ones, being Basil, Chives, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme … we’ve all heard that one before! There’s lots of recipes that call for a garnish of fresh Chives or fresh Parsley and they’re simple to grow in a sunny window! Listen to Lynn’s tip to find out how to make your herb garden a success!

GREEN UP YOUR HOME OFFICE!

Are you working from home these days? I am. On good days, I’m thrilled with how much I get done. I’ve honed my multitasking abilities by writing and attending zoom meetings while slow cooking dinner or vacuuming my bedroom with my robot vacuum cleaner. Another perk? My dogs are my personal assistants. 

On bad days, I feel sort of lonely. My co-workers are postage-stamp size heads on my computer screen. Everyone has to talk one at a time, so the spontaneous push and pull of brainstorming meetings gets diluted. And I realize that not much actually gets done when your dogs are your personal assistants. They just want snacks and walks. 

So I’ve surrounded myself with plants to make an inspirational working area. Living in Florida, I can move my home office outdoors to my screened porch when weather permits. I’ve been writing on my laptop at my dining room table with a little tabletop shrine of plants to keep me company. My leafy coworkers are two fiddle leaf figs (Little Fiddle) which seem to love the shaded area on the porch and have been thriving there happily. They aren’t always so easy to raise, so it’s cool to see we’ve found a place they really like. And to add a little color and texture, I’ve clustered a small collection of Rex begonias on the table. Staring into the swirling colorful leaves gives me inspiration. Here’s another perk; studies show that plants improve your productivity.

Here are a couple other nice options for home work spaces.

Snake plant: These plants offer a vertical presence for small desk spaces. 

Dracaena: I love the mass of thin, strappy leaves of ‘Anita’ as an ideal for a desk mate. These plants rarely drop leaves, so your work area will stay neat and clean. 

Succulents: Succulent plants make a wonderful addition to a home office, adding a touch of natural beauty while requiring minimal maintenance due to their resilience and ability to thrive in indoor settings.

Flowering Kalanchoes: Choose from orange, red, pink and yellow! These adorable colorful plants require occasional watering and bright light.

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.

by The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 to NOVEMBER 22)
Scorpio deepens the fall. Always having a plan, you make sure that successive plantings of snap peas or lettuce grace your gardens. You are the strongest member of the zodiac and thus are attracted to vigorous plants such as Swiss chard, which regrows when cut. Tomatoes appeal to you for the color red, and eggplants for their affinity with purple. Being sexy and passionate, you are captivated by exotic lilies, with their deep, nectar-coated throats. You like a challenge, so sushi and Thai foods are often on the menu in your kitchen.
