Gardening Tips:
Seeing something weird on your Queen Palm? This picture was sent in for analysis. The little white growths seen here are actually berries. The best thing to do is cut off the bloom stalk and the husk that is around it as well as the berries that turn into seed and make a mess that drops.

Note: Before attempting to diagnose or treat any problem, be sure to either bring in a sample of the plant (or email us a photo) or a soil sample for verification with our Garden Pros. Also, please remember that we can't see it over the phone!

Green Tip:
Buy local & save the freight!

A species of flowering plant indigenous to Mexico and Guatemala. The name "poinsettia" is after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico, who introduced the plant into the US in 1828. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is called Cuetlaxochitl meaning "skin flower." The Aztecs used the plant to produce red dye and as an antipyretic medication. Today it is known in Mexico and Guatemala as "Noche Buena" or Christmas' Eve. In Spain its is known as "Flor de Pascua" or Easter Flower in English. In both Chile and Peru, the plant became known as "Crown of the Andes". The plants' association with Christmas began in 16th century Mexico, where legend tells of a young girl who was too poor to provide a gift for the celebration of Jesus' birthday. The tale goes that the child was inspired by an angel to gather weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the church altar. Crimson "blossoms" sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the plants in their Christmas celebrations. Here I've chosen to highlight 3 of the varieties that we're growing for the Festival.
Freedom Red, Freedom White, Winter Rose
In next week's email, I'll focus on some of the other varieties.


$2.50/doz. Home grown at the Treadway Family Farm by Americana, Barred Rock & Rhode Island Red Hens.
