August is a cruel month for gardening - that’s all there is to it. About the only thing you can do is water, water, water, and tell everything to just hang in there for a little bit longer… relief is (almost) in sight! Aside from watering we are actually very busy getting ready to open for the fall season in mid-September. Seedlings and new cuttings that are looking good include white Echinacea, rose Echinacea, comfrey, dill, turk’s cap, Texas star hibiscus, Cuban oregano and more. There will be a few new additions to our retail offerings in the guest house this fall, however I am keeping that a secret until next month! I’ve been working on new and exciting recipes for fall luncheons and catering events, but that information will be kept a closely guarded secret as well until the time is right. Later this month I will attend the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association yearly conference in San Antonio. This 3-day event is packed with information and the trade show is phenomenal with many, many vendors (several hundred I would estimate). I’m always looking for new and interesting ideas and this is the place to find them! Find more information on this event at www.tnlaonline.com. Keep watering those plants!
