  • Are you heading to the @vtflowershow next weekend? If you want to see some tulips in bloom (among MANY other wonderful plants) this is the weekend stop for you! Starts March 1 at @champlainvalleyexpo
  • “Your kind never sees us whole. You miss the half of it, and more. There’s always as much below ground as above.”
.
Fun fact: we have a book club here amongst the #horsfordteam. We call ourselves The Bookworm Castings Club (not joking) 😂🐛🍎
.
Right now we’re in the middle of The Overstory by Richard Powers. It’s all about trees and our connections to them. 🌳 Surprisingly it’s the first plant book we’ve read!
.
PS: If you guys have more book suggestions we’d love to hear!
  • This one’s a little dense. Bear with us. 🤔
.
You usually hear about new growth or new wood when learning about how a plant flowers and when to prune. ✂️
.
Blooms on NEW wood = flowers are on current season’s growth. You can usually prune these in early spring, late fall or winter. Examples include summer bloomers like spiraea and hydrangea paniculata and arborescens.
.
Blooms on OLD wood = flowers are on last year’s growth. Don’t prune these in spring; you’ll be cutting off flowers! It’s best to prune immediately after flowering so they have time to set buds for next season (that will then bear flowers). These are your early spring bloomers like forsythia, quince and lilacs.
.
New growth is flexible and can be followed back to a woodier stem which was the previous year’s growth. During the winter, what was the current season’s growth becomes more rigid and woody in order to support the next season’s growth. In a way, a shrub or tree is building the framework that supports itself and you can see it if you look closely! 🌳 .
Think about it.
.
Woody plants only grow taller by adding new growth. If you carve your name in a young sapling at 4 feet off the ground, your name will still be 4 feet off the ground 200 years later. It’s fun to think about how this differs from animal growth. Imagine if we sprouted “new growth” every year! 🤓

  • We’ll admit, deadheading isn’t the most lovely-sounding term! The practice can result in lovely-looking plants though.
.
Remember, a plant’s lofty goal is to go to seed so it can reproduce. Deadheading diverts energy from those seeds back into more flowers (that ultimately go to seed again).
.
When deadheading, look for dead flowers since this is usually where seeds are. Be sure to cut the flower stalk too all the way down to the next set of leaves. Otherwise you’ll be left with tall dead stalks. When you can, try to have the cut hidden by the plant’s remaining foliage.
.
Deadheading isn’t necessary but it can definitely help annuals last longer and perennials bloom later.
.
Petunias, marigolds, zinnia, and many perennials are commonly deadheaded so they bloom again. Roses can also benefit from deadheading.
.
Some gardeners don’t prefer deadheading because birds and other wildlife depend on seeds. Some plants also have quite decorative seed heads so it’s nice to keep them for that reason too.
.
See examples of deadheading in our story!
