Sempervivums in early September #sempervivums #hensandchicks #coldhardysucculents

Many of our tall sedum bloom late! #sedum

Some close-ups of beautiful succulents waiting for a new home! They can all be found at our greenhouse and are available for delivery as well; please inquire for individual prices @ Geraldton, Ontario

A few of my favorite succulents which I decided to put in the ground earlier this summer. They seem to be loving it so far! Once the night time temperatures start to drop they'll have to go back in but it's so cool to see them flourish!

Some of our succulent selection! Our mixed terracotta dishes have really beefed up over the summer so far! Available with free delivery in Geraldton, or set up a time to stop by and pick some out yourself! Prices starting at $5/ each for small plants, $8 for most medium plastic pots, $12 for small glazed pots and medium terracotta, and larger ones are tagged individually. Our glazed pots come included with the cute little bamboo coasters.

A little Euphorbia perennial we just planted along the south wall. The foliage is so colorful! Definitely hoping it does well this winter. Euphorbia polychroma 'First Blush' which is said to be hardy to zone 4, so I would think it needs some special care up here.

Some variegated Sedum. Very pretty even before the flowers form. #Sedum

Sedum "Red Wiggle" in flower! #sedum #sedumochroleucumredwiggle

Our broccoli are doing well so far this year, but today I noticed some damage forming on the leaves. The undersides of all of our broccoli leaves had hundreds of eggs and a few tiny worms had started hatching, which I was able to remove easily by hand. Just a friendly warning to check your plants! In this pic I'm pointing to some of the damage. These little guys start out barely a millimetre so look closely!
