Timely Tip for November Gardeners from Calloway’s Nursery

Planting Spring Flowering Bulbs in Fall

Spring flowering bulbs are such a welcoming sight after those long Winter months. Many of the Spring flowering bulbs require an artificial “chilling” process before they can be planted. This is generally accomplished by placing the bulbs in a paper bag in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator for six to eight weeks prior to planting. However, Calloway’s Nursery is offering to do that for you. We have many varieties of Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissus which you can purchase from our stores now and pick-up in December ready to plant. Let us simplify those “chilling” requirements!

We also will be offering pre-chilled Tulips and Narcissus bulbs online at http://mytexasgarden.com/index.php/estore/.

When planting bulbs, the general rule is to plant them at a depth three times the diameter of the bulb. Use Calloway’s Blood & Bone Meal at planting for added nutrients. Plant the bulbs pointed end up, cover with soil and water thoroughly. For the best display, plant bulbs in clusters or uneven numbers. Apply two to three inches of mulch on top of the bed.

For more information on bulbs, visit any of our Calloway’s stores and talk with one of our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals.

Timely Tip for December Gardeners from Calloway’s Nursery

Winterizing Your Landscape

Living in Texas, you never know what to expect from Mother Nature. Being prepared for our extreme weather is the best solution!  One simple thing you can do for your landscape plants is to provide a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch.  Mulching is beneficial year round but during the colder periods it provides a layer of insulation for the roots.  Secondly, water your landscape well before a cold spell.  A drought stressed plant is more susceptible to freeze damage.  Thirdly, for more tender plants, purchase frost cloth for extra protection. Remember that many frost tender plants can be damaged even when the temperatures are in the high 30’s. Frost cloth is a fabric which adds 3 to 4 degrees of warmth.  Cover the plant completely allowing the edges to come all the way to the ground.  That way, we are utilizing the heat which radiates from the ground. 

Become a member of the Calloway’s Garden Club and you will receive email notices prior to any weather crisis. Visit www.mytexasgarden.com to join.

This is also a great time to start planning changes or additions to your landscape.  Bring a sketch or photo and let our Calloway’s Texas Certified Nursery Professionals assist you!
