Hmmm…the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillars have eluded me! I can’t seem to find their chrysalis anywhere? Some of you are super informed on this subject - any ideas where to discover them???

There are many beautiful plant pots out there but beware - avoid pots that have a rounded shape, or are flared at the bottom and get narrower at the top!

Why?? Well just think of how hard you will need to wrestle with that plant when it is time to repot it!!!

I love the asymmetrical shape of this pot, as well as how it is narrower at the bottom and flares at the top!! Makes it easy cheesy to repot and looks stunning at the same time!!! And don’t hesitate giving thrift stores a chance to find planting pots!!!!! I have found some beauties for less $$$$$

Can you plant marigolds this time of year? YES!

Marigolds are generally easy to grow and this beautiful lady is no exception! Taishan Yellow is an African marigold and has strong stems to support these stunning flowers!!! No dropping flowers here.

Heat lovers, these beauties are a true annual and will not be invasive. It is better to plant them in poor soil since a rich soil will encourage more greenery and less blooms.

Is it hot out? YES! Is it safe to plant these now? YES!!! So what are you waiting for? Come see us at Oceanside ACE Garden Center!!!! (The one off Oceanside Blvd and College!!!) YAY!

🪴 Put them in full sun!

You will be enjoying these blooms for the next few months!!!!

These Celosia’s are just so gorgeous!!!! At $10.99, the price is too!!!

Full sun lovers, they will like to be kept moist, but not soggy! If you are planting in pots, use the Coco Loco potting soil by Fox Farms. It is so healthy for your plants and will allow your Celosia to keep moist while still draining well!!!
Rather than using chemicals to boost your plant’s health, they use natural fertilizers such as bat guano and worm castings.

Come on by for our amazing SummerWeen colorful plants and brighten up your end-of-summer garden!!!!

Have hanging baskets? Get pruning shears!!!
This is a great time to freshen up those hanging baskets plants. It might seem a little drastic, but those beautiful plants have been working hard to produce new growth and thrive in the summer heat. I prune my hanging baskets almost to the rim of my pot! This helps your plants put more energy back into growing healthier, bushier stems and more blooms!

Trim to give it a balanced look, and then water it deeply and slowly when you are done! Also, be sure to rotate your baskets weekly! Trying to reach and rotate our baskets in the garden center is great exercise for me!!!!

So give your baskets a spa day, and get out those pruning shears!!!
