Why buy locally grown poinsettias?
Poinsettias available in discount stores and grocery stores have been trucked cross-country in semi-tractor trailers, subject to temperature variations and dry conditions. And often the only color choice is dull red. So, 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. They have been watered, fertilized and pruned so that the colors peak in time for the holidays. They come in a variety of colors from traditional red to pink, ivory, variegated and many more colors and leaf shapes.

VALERIE … PAYNE’S VERY OWN MARTHA STEWART00D39999-8539-4659-AF95-623393459751

My mom was one of those ladies who clipped interesting articles from newspapers and magazines and saved them for all eternity. I inherited that box of articles. Well it appears I ‘did not fall far from the tree’ as they say. Most of the articles are about gardening, crafts and cooking, all the things I enjoy. One of the articles that I came across was written in 1977 by Margaret Johnson. Ms. Johnson wrote a gardening column for the Santa Fe New Mexican.  
 
In the article she discusses making your own wreaths for the holiday season. She talks about wreaths made of fresh greens, dried flowers or ‘della Robbia’ which are wreaths decorated with fresh fruits and other edibles.  The one that caught my eye was a wreath made with computer punch cards. I do remember making these. In my previous jobs, I remember stacking hundreds of these cards in a machine to address envelopes for large mailings. It only took HOURS to print the envelopes instead of days on an electric typewriter. Imagine that! Now they can be done quickly with today’s computers.
 
If you do not have time to make your own wreath, we here at Payne’s have a large assortment of artificial and fresh wreaths to choose from. Come and see what we have to offer.
 
HAPPY GARDENING!

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

Posted on

by The Old Farmer’s Almanac

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


SAGITTARIUS (November 23 to 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.
