New Jersey is one of the best states for gardening for many reasons. Our climate is good, our soils decent, and we are gifted with some of the best growers in the country. There are a wide range of plants for us to make use of in gardening. 

    The Plants Page will contain some of the best new or under used plants for our area. There are pages with information on annuals, perennials,  shrubs, and herbs. You can also find pages that address more specific areas, such as Butterfly plants, Daylilies, Ornamental grasses, Hosta, and others. We put a strong emphasis on locally grown plants. They have been acclimated to our area, withstood our weather changes, and proven themselves here. We will also try to show some of the problems that NJ gardeners are encountering and what may help against these problems.

  Please support your local nursery, greenhouse grower, and garden center. Our links page includes some of the best of them as well as other informational sites. New Jersey growers are faced with a wide range of different challenges and have proven to be an adaptable, imaginative, and interesting group. There are a number of people in agriculture who help to make gardening in New Jersey more enjoyable. I hope to let you know some of them better. A good place to start is on the Union County Board of Agriculture's Union County Jersey Fresh Website.  

Welcome to Fall in New Jersey. What a wild and crazy year. Summer was fair with decent yields in the vegetable gardens. Heat was on and winds remained high and many plants stressed. Impatiens took a hard hit from downy mildew and trying to see what effect will be for the future as initial reports are that it remains in soil and impatiens should not be planted for several years in areas that were affected. Hopefully resistant varieties will be available. Flowering vinca, caranthus, took a hard hit in the 90's from Pythothera and, after resistant varieties were bred, became one of the widest used annuals today. So while this year was bad, it will not be like impatiens will not be used anymore. For those who are removing their impatiens now, pansies should be ready for planting in mid September.

For vegetable gardens, there are a few fall vegetables still in. Garlic should be available in mid-September. We will be carrying cover crop for gardens this fall.

 Please fell free to contact us with any garden questions. We are thankful for your business and friendship.
