Hopefully everyone can be with some family or friends. Let’s remember the millions who are suffering on this day from events and conditions beyond their control.

Those of us in the Northeast are shivering, as record cold sets in. It’s seven degrees as I type at 8 am Turkey day morning. Record shattered.

We have experienced a VERY, VERY trying fall. After record spring and summer drought, monsoon like rain battered us in Oct. Then, a dramatic cool down in November, already with two snowstorms and record cold.

This resulted in some shipping delays. Our apologies to three or four customers whose orders did not ship, plants became inaccessible in newly created lakes! That then froze over! Truly bizarre weather.

CAMPERS TAKE NOTE

Our new mini campground is a success. If you will be vacationing in Maine next year please give us a thought. We have five private and beautiful campsites in back of our nursery on or near a stream. The reviews are unanimously positive.

SENSITIVE FERN Onoclea sensibilis

This fast grower tolerates wet or dry soil, including clay. Blunt lobed, bright green leaves grow 2 feet tall in damp soil, (Less in dry soil). They’re bolder than most ferns. It is called Sensitive fern as it goes to “sleep” for the winter with the first fall frost, making it a great natural thermometer! Don’t be fooled though, it is tough and resilient. Interesting dark “sporing fronds” rise from the ground in summer, after foliage is mature. They’re perfect for problem areas where little grows and they also cover that area fast & elegantly.

Only $2.50 each when you buy ten or more! Gallon sized root systems, order now, we ship when weather breaks. A STEAL OF A PRICE!

HAYSCENTED FERN Dennsteadtia punctiloba

This fine textured fern has bright green color all season. Its lacy character blends with anything and is fast growing, liking average to damp soil and some shade. A medium grower to 15 inches it can make a great groundcover and its crushed fronds do have a hay-like scent. Golden fall color is a bonus. Competes well with shallow rooted trees.

Limited supply. This is a more vigorous form, making showy patches faster.

The flowers have more petals and are much shower than common bloodroot. Also…they last longer. Scalloped leaves are delightful and are also larger then the species…thry look good into fall. Very easy in most any soil, hardy zones 4 thru 7.
