1 Beaver Creek Nursery NEWSLETTER September 2015 What an awesome photo! In This Issue September To Do's Sounds in the night Quick Links...
2 Us Landscape Photos More About Us View Our Past Newsletters September To Do's Well...Not Much! Just a couple of things. 1. With the incredible lack of water in recent weeks it would be a very wise idea to SLOW soak your plants. That does not mean to spray them slowly. It means to lay the hose next to the trunk or main stems of the plant and let the water trickle out S-L-O-W-L-Y so it soaks into the ground and does not run off. They are needing it BAD! In many places the ground is like a rock right now. 2. Time to sow grass seed. As I have mentioned many times this is the perfect time of year to seed or reseed. Hint: We have everything you need to do a professional looking job right here at the Nursery. 3. September is the month to start collecting seeds and storing them for next year's crop. 4. Time to divide your Peonies and Iris. 5. As I mentioned last month, do not prune anything now until we have a couple of good frosts. And by all means DO NOT fertilize any plants. You don't want any tender, new,
3 young growth getting nailed by any early winter. and remember September 7th is DAY! So...
4 and don't forget that the 23rd
5 Is the first day And Somewhere around the middle of the month Yours Truly turns into a Sunday afternoon couch potato due to the start of regular season football...not that anyone's actually interested or it has anything to do with landscaping and this Newsletter. OK...I Know...it was more than a couple of things but at my age you don't stop anything that's on a roll...
6 Do You? Hear it??? In the dark of the night... when all is calm... at night...in the dark... and you may be alone... in
7 the dark...relaxing...in the dark... sitting on your porch... alone...in the dark... do you hear that loud, high pitch, reverberating squeal like hum as if you have ringing in your ears??? DO DO DO DO DO DO DO!!!
8 No! It's not the Walking Dead!!!!!!! It's actually something quite smaller and a lot more friendly! It's a
9 TREE FROG!!!! or I should say bunches of em'!! There are over 800 different species of tree frogs but there are basically 3 that are found around this neck of the woods. For the most part they are 1-2" long and blend in well with their environment. Their colors can range from green, gray, brown to very dark almost black with a dirty white belly. Notice the large toe pads for gripping and climbing. The one pictured here is Cope's Southern Gray Tree Frog.
10 This is not a Tree Frog with a bubble gum issue. Expanding their throat like this is actually how they make that loud high pitched trill that you hear and depending on the species they will do this up to 75 times per minute. Now you know why it sounds almost deafening when they get together every night and party. The species pictured here is known as a Green Tree frog and aside from being green it also has a pale yellow stripe running from it's upper lip to its groin. The other readily found Tree Frog is the Spring Peeper. Don't panic! Yes you can leave your curtains open. This little feller is only about 3/4-1 1/4" long and can be distinguished by the dark "X" on its back.
11 All of these little guys and gals live in or near trees and shrubs in areas near swamps, ponds, lakes and flooded ditches and again depending on the species can lay from eggs per female. As for their source of food. Tree Frogs like to eat spiders, mites, beetles, ants, small caterpillars, snails and even ticks. Thank God something eats ticks!!!!! So the next time you venture outside at night...in the dark...alone...and you think your ears are ringing...know that you are safe!...at least I think so!!! DO DO DO DO DO DO DO!!!!
12 Before and After Before Now...Go ahead and admit it! It's that mature, been around the block a few times, kinda sexy look that gets you...isn't it?? and
