THINGS I CHERISH DURING THE HOLIDAYS!   

Growing up in Northern New Mexico, I have a very different picture of the holidays. For us, it was about family get-togethers making empanadas and tamales. We also put up farolitos (called luminarias further South), attending midnight mass, and heading out Christmas morning (traditionally called ‘Mis Crismes’) to the neighbor’s houses collecting ribbon candy, nuts and oranges.  I did not care for the candy, but I loved the nuts and oranges. Some of the neighbor’s would hand us just roasted Pinon to put in our pockets to keep our hands warm.

 

At my home, we decorate with special keepsakes. The plastic ornament given to me by my grandfather when I was a child, the Panda Bear ornaments given to me by my mother for my first home; the Santa Claus I made in 4-H and my husband’s Elf on a Shelf ‘Fraser’, that he has had over 40 years. The Nativity Set, I inherited from my Mother-in-Law.

 

After seeing the damaging rain storms and fires in our country, especially those most recently, I say FAMILY is still the most important part of the holidays. Sadly, many do not even have a home in which to celebrate or will be celebrating without a loved one. I am fortunate to still have family and my job family. We may not all be together, but we will still celebrate.  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

ASK THE GARDEN GURU!

POINSETTIAS … what are they and where did they come from?

ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!

In this week’s archived radio show, the Garden Guru gives the history of the Poinsettia…and explains the basic parts of a Poinsettia!

Payne’s grows their own Poinsettias and there are many different colors and shapes of poinsettias! Shades of pinks, and reds and maroons and multi-colors that will suit anybody’s decor! Listen to Lynn’s tip and find out what else Payne’s has in store for you for the Holidays!

HAPPY GARDENING!

WE JUST RECEIVED OUR CUT NATIVE WHITE FIR CHRISTMAS TREES!

Payne’s is pleased to offer White Fir Christmas trees for this holiday season! These are classic trees are freshly harvested, and have a woodsy scent. With soft, silvery-blue needles and strong branches, they’re perfect for holding ornaments of all shapes and sizes. 

Their pyramid shape and lush, layered branches give them a full, festive appearance, making them a beautiful centerpiece for your holiday decor. 

Payne’s recommends purchasing your CUT TREE now and putting it in the garage or outside in the shade in a bucket of water and keep it watered until you are ready to bring it indoors and decorate!

Before you place your cut tree in your stand, make a fresh cut at the base so that the tree can absorb water.

WE HAVE FRESH WREATHS AND GARLAND

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:


SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21 )
Sagittarius ends the fall. The seasons are about to shift again, so the expectation of change is part of your personality. With Jupiter (the largest planet in the solar system) as your ruling planet, you are partial to plants that grow bigger: Azaleas, rhododendrons, and rosemary fill the bill here. Giant sunflowers as well as beans and peas that climb tantalize your soul. You are fond of action and the outdoors; plants that spread out and seem wild and free excite you. Look for lily-of-the-valley or patches of mint in your garden. Quick and easy meals such as salmon and salad grace your dinner table, and popcorn is your regular snack.
