We fought hard & we won Dad. You woulda been so proud. I can still smell your corduroy jacket in the voting booth & helping you push each lever . I finally came around to everything you taught me. It’s so hard without you. #jimmycarterdemocrat #daddysflag #ww2 #korea #renownuniquetulips

What if you could plant Mums in the fall that were

What if you could plant Mums in the fall that were Hardy* and came back year after year? I grew up in the New England area where truly Hardy Mums are prolific & varieties abound. I remember garden tours where the Mum display was pretty much a competition. So I thought all Mums were Hardy like ours. What a rude awakening. I soon realized as a young gardener after many dead mums that all those big box store Mums are fakes—deep fakes if there ever was one. 😂
But my dear flower friend @jfossflowers understood just how I felt & gave me some little cuttings from hers. I propagated them and finally have a little planting of Hardy Mums just inside our gate. I’m excited to propagate from this momma plant this coming Spring. I haven’t found a local Spokane nursery that carries truly Hardy Mums but there are online Nurseries you can order from. Kings Mums & Bluestone Perennials are two reputable sources. You should plant in Spring, not fall. It may take a year for them to get big and establish themselves. One little tip Janet gave me, don’t plant them near porch lights or street lights that stay on at night. They only start flowering when the long dark nights arrive. So If you have bright lights shining on them at night, you’ll never see any blooms.
Here’s to gorgeous fall displays that we only have to plant once! Aren’t you glad for Ninja level gardeners that can help us succeed? Thank you Janet @jfossflowers for my Mums and teaching me so much about growing. ✨💛

Dordogne by my garbage can walkway.. When I found

Dordogne by my garbage can walkway.. When I found an unnamed crate of tulips in the garage in late fall, I threw them in there, not even knowing. They look orange right? But there’s a rainbow in her petals, it’s pretty cool. And hard to describe unless you see it in person. I guess that’s why she’s so well known. A French variety whose height tops out at 30”, Dordogne is often Perennial when grown in the West where summers are dry, similar to the Mediterranean where it was bred.
Many people ask why their tulips don’t last and my two most important tIps are
#1 Buy a Perennial Tulip. Darwin, Emperor & Triumph are dependable perennial varieties.
#2 Keep your tulip bed dry & Not* irrigated during its summer dormancy. Summer irrigation & subsequent rot is one of the major things that shorten a tulip bulb’s longevity.
#3 If you have problems with squirrels, voles & pocket gophers line your holes with chicken wire. After planting & filling, put another layer of chicken wire on before you apply mulch.

The other kind of Tulips, Cut flower tulips, are gems in the garden, but will need replacing every 3-5 years. I plant both Perennial & Cut Flower varieties of Tulips but use perennials for larger plantings. I only want to dig those large trenches once. Happy garden planning & planting friends

If you are needing perennial tulips, there are still 2 varieties left on the Master Gardener Bulb Sale at the moment. Apeldoorn (Darwin) & Purple Flag (Triumph)

Hercules Dahlia inspiring a bouquet from the garde

Hercules Dahlia inspiring a bouquet from the garden today. Cut all those blooms before the frost gets them! I posted a bunch more Deer Resistant spring blooming bulbs for the INW on my stories if you need more options. I’m already planning my spring display.

Have you seen the Master Gardener bulb list on the

Have you seen the Master Gardener bulb list on their shop site yet? They have 12 deer resistant bulbs, all good for the Inland Northwest this year. Whoot. Gardeners searching for Deer Resistant plants is one of the most common questions the Plant Clinic gets, so I put together this little graphic of some deer resistant bulbs you might want to consider in your own landscape. A number of these are on their list. I couldn't fit all the deer resistant bulbs we can plant in the Inland Northwest in an IG post, (there are more than you think!) But I'll post a few more in my stories. You can always email or call the clinic to receive all the info sheets and lists you need for Deer Resistant Plants too. The Master Gardener bulb sale goes live September 30th. Along with Deer Resistant Bulbs, they have a beautiful selection of Perennial Tulips and Specialty Cut flower tulips too. I put the link in my bio if you want to take a look.
Top Row: Fritillaria (Chequered Lily) Tahiti Daffodil, Siberian Squill, Snowdrops
(Leucojum) Pin Ball Wizard Allium
Bottom Row: Muscari, Barret Browning Daffodil, Camassia, Hyacinth, Chionodoxa ( Glory of the Snow)

Hi there friends. I’ll be giving a talk at Manito this Friday. If you want to know more about planting fall bulbs or what bulbs will work best in your landscape, or just want to find out more about rare & unique bulbs because you’re addicted like me, please come join us in the fun. All gardeners & all garden questions welcome. We will be hosted by the Associated Garden Clubs of Spokane in the Meeting Room at 10 am. I’ll have info on the MGFSC bulb sale too, with our Bulb List offerings to hand out. Hope to see you in person IG friends! 😊🌷

Thank you for a wonderful season everyone! I hope your Fall is filled with all the gems an Autumn garden can give—pumpkins and apples and dahlias and colored leaves with hot cocoa by campfires under the stars with those you love. ✨

If planting Bulbs for Spring is part of your Fall ritual, head on over to the MG Foundation Bulb Sale at the link in my bio. It’s a wonderful Fundraiser and proceeds go back into our community in so many ways. 🍂🍁🍂

The Master Gardener bulb sale goes Live September

The Master Gardener bulb sale goes Live September 30th online! They will have a large selection of Double Tulips , Darwin’s, Impressions, Novelty Daffodills as well as other rare & fun bulb varieties. Whether you’re looking for cut flowers or landscape interest, they’ll have something for every kind of gardener. I put the MG foundation link in my bio so you could check out the details on dates & pick up locations. Follow their Instagram @mastergardenersofspokane and Facebook pages for info. I’ll also be posting here on my Instagram about the varieties we’ll have this year.
I’ve dedicated my time to helping the wonderful non-profit MG Foundation put on a large scale Bulb Sale this year and *will not* be selling any Prairie Sky Farm bulbs as I have in years past ( for all those who have been asking)
It’s the best of both worlds for our community because #1 You & many other Spokaneites get the cheapest prices possible on bulbs arriving directly from Holland #2 Proceeds go directly back into our community for kids programs, Horticulture programs, Environmental programs, & keeping our city green & healthy👏🏼
Let me know if I can help you figure out the best bulbs for your landscape or cutting garden. 💕

Ps ‘Amazing Grace’ double peony tulip is available in the MGFSC shop this year!
