If the method you have used in the past worked well for you then I think you will do just fine with your fall crop. Just let us know if any disease or insects issues come up this fall that you might need help with.

We are out of Mexican Olive trees and have not found any available to order from our venders so far this season.

Our Cora Vinca plants are winding down for the season so right now on hand I have just some mixed 6 pack Vinca with red, white, lavender, and pink.

Looking for Pomegranate trees and like to the cost. I’m on the NE side of San Antonio tx
We only have the “Wonderful Pomegranate” variety in 5# pots for $29.99 (2-3’ tall) and 15# pots for $129.99 (5-6’ tall).

We just got in some of our fall assortment of Citrus with Meyer Lemon and Lisbon Lemon trees for $44.99 each in 3# pot and about 4 feet tall with a good 1 ½’ or more canopy.

You can plant new rose bushes at any time of the year but the best time for planting is from fall into spring when the cooler temperatures allow for quicker and easier rooting and recovery. We receive our new shipment of potted rosed by mid-March here at Milberger Nursery If the rose bush needs to be transplanted then it should be done in the fall from September through early November and again in February, when transplanting you should cut the rose bush back to the biggest branches of at least pencil to ½” diameter or better and cut the bush back to 2’ or 1 ½’ off the ground to reduce stress and recover roots quickly.

Well I finally did it I made the dangerous 130 mile mile round trip to Milberger’s and bought the famous or infamous Rio Grande Gold Peppers and unfortunately I shopped for plants which swore I wouldn’t do. But when you drive 130 miles to one of the best garden centers one is bound to do more shopping.

So now that I have the peppers what should I do? All plants where in excellent condition when I bought them. I the past this is what I do with peppers and tomatoes:
I dig the right size hole and thoroughly water in the hole several times. Then I put 2 tomato/pepper tablets in the hold for long term fertilizing with a table spoon of episons salt, I cover the plants with earth and then cover again with compost. And then I add mulch, usually oak leaves. I fertilize as such: I water in a a solution of Miracle-Gro or Hasta Grow once a week. I also spray the plants with the same.
Is there any thing else I should consider?
Thanks.
