October 01 October 08A nice end to September and start of October. Check out the giant onion (in the pictures) grown by John Griffith of McKinleyville from Seed! We are starting our fall sale on October 6th-October 18th. 20% off all plants and more. We have a great selection of spring blooming bulbs and mid month is the perfect time to get them into the ground. Once they are in you can forget about them and then be surprised by a beautiful spring show. Fall is still one of the best times to plant perennials, shrubs and trees. The best part is you won't have to water (once the rains set in) until next summer. See you in the nursery. Mary August 28 September08Can you believe it's just about September. It's already time to think about fall planting of vegetables, bulbs and all landscaping plants. It's one of the best times for planting here on the coast. The nursery is well stocked with a nice selection of trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses. Stop by and take a look. See you in the nursery. Mary July 28 AugustWell, we are well into our summer and we have not seem much sun. Everything seems to be later this year, the plums on my tree still haven't ripened yet and we are usually eating them by now. We still have a beautiful selection of trees, perennials, shrubs and bedding plants. Stop on by and take a look. Check out our Lemon Days Sale starting on the 1st of August. The selected great deals will be on sale through August. They will be posted on our website. See you in the nursery. Mary July 13 July at Miller FarmsHere we are in the middle of July. It is beginning to slow down in the nursery though we are bringing in new plants and gifts every week. We just received a beautiful new shipment of statuary, including some very nice fountains and somewhat scary gargoyles. There is still time to plant successive crops of beans, lettuce and many root crops from seed. We also have a nice selection of culinary herbs for your fresh summer recipes. Basil can now be grown outside in a warm sunny spot and can be planted through August. So come on in and we will see you in the nursery. Mary June 01 June08What a bunch of wild weather we have been having. We all received a taste of hot weather for a few days this month and then back to fog. I'm sure all the rhododendrons are much happier for it. It actually was a scorcher during that time and lots of plants suffered for it. Many of the Rhododendrons burned, but will recover just fine, the burned leaves hanging on as testament to the crazy heat wave. You could manually remove them or just wait for the new growth to cover them up. It is looking really nice in the nursery, lots of flowers and vegetables waiting to be planted. June is still a great month for putting in a garden, it's not to late to plant beans, corn, squash, lettuce and more and we have lots of plants already to give you a head start. See you in the nursery. May 06 May at MillersIt has been a crazy spring for us at Miller Farms, but this is what we are all waiting for during the dark days of winter. The nursery is brimming over with new plants coming in practically everyday except Sunday and Monday. Annies Annuals is back and we are very happy about that, as well as some great veggies starts from our local growers as well as Sweetwater Nursery in Graton. Check out our Mothers Day Sale starting May 8th until Sunday, May 11th. We will be giving free gifts to the moms that come in with a 'Gardening Hat' (baseball caps don't count). Cheeto has been having a great time with all the people coming in to say hello to him. Have a wonderful May and see you in the nursery. Mary April 08 AprilWell, that last frost caught us all off guard and many of our plants as well. A few of our plants new growth was burned, but we expect most of them to recoop just fine and catch up. The nursery is looking marvelous right now. The flowering cherries are still in blooms with the crabapples popping next. We have some gorgeous ones just getting ready to pop. It really is feeling like spring despite the cold. You can stop the plants from going through their paces. We have some beautiful veggies (including organic) and herbs arriving daily. Stop on by and check it all out. Spring is flying by. March 01 March08Spring is just around the corner and we are all "champing at the bit" to get out into the garden. The rhododendrons are in bloom and soon all the tables will be brimming over with new baby plants.
There are two workshops for March, one with Yvonne called 'Let's Talk Dirt': this is going to be an interesting workshop and you will learn how to determine your soil type and then how it should be amended. Bring about a 1 cup sample of your soil in a clear jar with a lid. The other is with Mary and we will cover all you need to know about successfull seed starting.
We have a great selection of strawberries and they are so easy to grow in the ground or even in containers. Out of space? You might even try some in hanging baskets.
Check out the website and the new plant contest. www.millerfarmsnursery.com
Don't miss the coupons on the website. See you in the nursery. Mary January 30 February08The winter months are always a surprise for us here on the Northcoast. This past snow storm was so much fun to watch (except for those who had to drive in it). It reminds us to keep an eye on the weather so we can protect are more tender plants: citris, fuchsias, princess flower, bougainvilla, geraniums... Most can handle temperatures to 32'F. After that keep blankets or Insulite available to quickly throw over them. We are gearing up for spring with an array of organic fertilizers and sprays. We have done a little rearranging in the store and made more room in the gift area. Lots of great ideas and hilarious cards for your valentine. As you can see from the photos, even though it's the dead of winter, we do have lots of blooming plants both inside and out. Stop on by and visit us and Cheeto. See you in the nusery. December 03 DecemberWow, December is blowing in like a lion and it looks like half the nursery is laying on its side. The camellias are coming into bloom and looking wonderful. the early sasanquas are the first to come, you can see a picture of the variety 'Yuletide' in the photos to the right. A beautiful single red that always comes into bloom this time of year. Keep your eye on the weather in case of hard freezes. It's come pretty close this past week and we have seen a slight damage on some of the more tender plants. We'll move those under the covered area. You can cover them with blankets at night your use "Insulite" plant cover if you just want to leave it on for a time. Some of the plants we have to watch out for are mexican sage (and many other types of sage), princess bush, fuchsias, and even citrus. Don't miss our open house this week. See you in the nursery. Mary October 26 November in the NurseryIt's November in the nursery already. We are excited to offer some new products as well as plants to appease your gardening addictions. The Crocs and Muck Boots have finally arrived and will help keep your tootsies comfy and dry. The bareroot berries and veggies (raspberry, currants, blackberries, asparagus, artichokes...)should be showing up before Thanksgiving, so get your berry beds ready. A beautiful selection of blueberries has just arrived, if you haven't planted any yet, don't wait any longer. They are easy to grow in our climate and will produce berries usually the first year. Stop by and see us. Mary September 28 October at Miller FarmsIt has been a beautiful fall so far and isn't that moon rising in the east amazing! We are still going strong with some gorgeous spring blooming bulbs and huge selection of camellias. We even have a real early one blooming already.

Come see all the gorgeous fall foliage color that is happening as we speak. See you in the nursery.
