SAVE THE DATE - Daffodil Show! March 2nd & 3rd. See inside for more details. Now & Enjoy Summer from your Garden for Years to Come We just brought in a full range of Dave Wilson container grown blueberries, and figs that will complement the new season bare root collection. Here are just a few to consider: In Blueberries we’ve selected great varieties that thrive in our climate. Choose from Sunshine Blue, South Moon, Misty, Jubilee, Pink Lemonade, O’Neal and Sharp Blue. We ­recommend preparing the soil with acid planting mix and locating the plants in morning sun until 1:00 p.m. for best results. Figs and Pomegranates were born to live in our valley. These Mediterranean plants love our climate, are water-wise and thrive with very little care. • Figs: Black Jack, Brown Turkey, Viollette de Bordeaux, Black Mission and Panache • Pomegranates: My new favorite Ambrosia is the sweeest you’ll ever eat, Sharp Velvet, Wonderful, Garnet Sash, Eversweet & Parfianka are among our collection. “Kung hay fat choi” Chinese New Year Seasonal Favorites February 13th is the Chinese New Year! Alden Lane has stocked a few special items typically used to decorate for Chinese New Year to invite good fortune into our house. Plant a ­flowering quince during this year’s celebration and have plenty of branches to cut and bring inside for future years. Flowering Quince is always in bloom ­during this time of year and symbolizes good health, prosperity and happiness. The blossoms on bare branches are excellent in arrangements and come in shades of red, pink and white. are also used to celebrate Chinese New Year as they are becoming fully ripe during the late winter months. The Chinese name for translates to “Gold Luck” and Alden Lane has several ­varieties to choose from. This highly prized hardy citrus plant bears heavy of small that are eaten skin and all. They can also be made into ­delicious jams, preserves, and relishes. Bring home good fortune and “Gold Luck” with a Kumquat. As a special treat we are currently offering the Buddha’s Hand Citron. The fruit is ­traditionally brought inside and placed in a bowl for their wonderful fragrance. The fruit has virtually no pulp but can be sliced and candied in syrup for a unique treat. This is definitely a “conversation piece” in the garden so plant it somewhere it can be appreciated by guests. The gnarly fruit forms finger-like sections that resemble a hand and can bear quite heavily during this time of year.

January is Pruning Month As the temperatures have typically dropped and held low for a few weeks by mid-January, most deciduous trees and shrubs are ready for their annual pruning. Alden Lane Nursery has a few helpful resources for assisting you in this sometime overwhelming subject. First of all, please take advantage of a number of pruning classes scheduled over the next month. We also have a great selection of tools and gloves and helpful pruning books. Our web page also includes pruning diagrams for guidance. For pruning fruit trees, pick up a copy of a very handy pruning book titled, “How to Prune Fruit Trees” by Robert Sanford Martin. This book packs a wealth of information into its 90 pages, covering virtually every type of fruit tree and fruiting vine home gardeners will encounter. The book illustrates and explains in a brief format how each type of tree ­produces fruit and what pruning is required to help, not hinder fruit production. Every fruit tree owner should have a copy. Finally, in the line up of pruning aids, what can be more helpful than a good pair of gardening gloves? West County Gloves offers a nice collection of well-made gloves tha tare comfortable and engineered to wear well. Their Work Glove, styled like a biking glove, is our best selling glove. West County Gloves also produces the amazing Gauntlet Rose Glove. Tested here at the nursery, this glove will allow you to thrust your hands into rose pruning chores without fear of thorns tearing up your hands. Choose Some of the Best Pruning Shears Felco brand pruning shears are the highest quality pruning shears we are aware of, worldwide. They are imported from Switzerland and are built with such quality they have been known to last for decades. We invite you to place a pair in your hands and compare the feel and fit to other pruners. We have a hands-on display to help you explore your options. After you sample a pair we think you will want to add these to your own wish list; or you may want to buy a pair for another gardener in your home who won’t mind if you borrow the pruners from time to time for your own use.
