MUMS. Yes, we still have a great supply of gorgeous of mums in fall hues. We even have some that haven’t yet bloomed for late season color. 🩷🤍🧡💜💛

Gundersen Orchards grows some extremely tasty apples. 🍎 We are fortunate to have two varieties for sale—honeycrisp and evercrisp. Look for them in the refrigerator where we keep lettuce for our lettuce subscription program. Our cashiers can help you find them!

Tonight’s sky. Lucky you if you were heading west and saw this stunner. What a gorgeous stretch of weather.

Fuzzy wuzzy!! Wooly Bear Caterpillar at TGP Naperville. A familiar sight in Illinois during autumn. Myth!! The caterpillar’s coloring does not reliably predict the coming winter weather.

Lettuce 🥬 pick up at Naperville and Aurora. In case you’ve had questions about the process. Thanks for subscribing. We have a waitlist in case we can expand the program. Stay tuned.

FROST ADVISORY THIS WEEKEND
The fall feels have arrived and with it comes frost. Temperatures may hover in the low to mid 30s early Saturday morning. What does this mean for your annual mums and containers?

While many fall annuals, such as mums, celosia and marigolds can handle the lower temperatures, the buds and blooms can be affected by a frost. Cover your fall flowering annuals or bring them to a protected area near the house such as a covered porch or garage to keep them looking fresher longer. Use a lightweight breathable fabric such as a frost cloth or bed sheet if left out. Remove the covering or move them back out once the temperature rises above 40 degrees.

Pansies, alyssum, cabbage and ornamental kale are not affected much by a frost — in fact, these plants can even handle a light dusting of snow!

If you haven’t transitioned your houseplants indoors, NOW is the time to do it. Any tropical plants you want to overwinter should be protected indoors. For more overwintering tips read our houseplant blog on our website (thegrowingplace.com) or watch our You Tube video.

Pumpkins. Millet. Yummy, yummy!! We share our space with many types of critters. Which we love. Even when they snack on the merchandise!
