Visit a Nursery - Market Friday
A Local Nursery
This is part of the great weekly challenge of the fabulous @dswigle I always think about and hardly ever join. But, it is still Friday and I will get this done before midnight! 🤪
And another view of from the upper parking lot. This nursery has been in Lemon Grove for a very long time. I believe it is the 5th generation working there now. Maybe the forth.
This is what I saw right next to the car.
And of course, there is steer manure too. Oh, the joy for your neighbors when you spread it...
There is so much to see here and I love to just walk around and look...
Love succulents and they do well here.
HERBS!!! Love them!
Ready-made raised beds.
And colors. We always need colors.
Since it is soon Saturday, I better stop here. When I go there, I always take way too many pictures...
So, I leave you with a little flower until next time...

Of course the nursery is one of my favorite Market Friday subjects. I can't tell you how many pictures I take of any subject because I'm sure you would be shocked. Truly good morning the digital age has ruined me and made life harder by making too many choices when it comes to pictures. I admire the strength you use to stop at a good point. I still want to see more but I love what I see. I'm still at the stage of: Oh my God!! Could Denise please stop posting pictures now!
I absolutely love your nursery and I like they're raised beds but, honestly for the price that they want I do my own. It's then that you can actually get exactly what you want. I know it might be easier for some to just pick up a pre done arranged piece but, I have spent that I spent less than 30 minutes putting them together. They are that quick! I do love your nursery and of course, palm trees make everything look more beautiful.
I love going to these stores but the problem is I never going to leave I can just keep going around and around and around. The more I look the more I see. Thank you so much for bringing to us such a beautiful Market Friday post and I appreciate the time spent going out and finding one, taking pictures and putting the whole thing together. It is time spent and very much appreciated by me. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and good luck on your meetup!

You are so sweet!! And I am ruined by the digital age as well. On one hand, I take pictures, on the other hand, I take too many. And like you - I hate to have to decide which one is good enough LOL
You have no idea how many hundreds of pictures I have taken for market Friday LOL - I will post them eventually.
Thank you for doing this initiative - I know that takes a long time. And you are the queen of comments and encouragement. so much appreciated!!

a wonderful flower paradise! I also like these places. but I rarely have the opportunity to be there because they are out of town and we do not have a car. carpobrotuses are very beautiful! they are growing in Israel, too. this is a wonderful carpet of bright color :) did you buy anything for yourself?
I did. All veggies LOL
You're making me wonder how steer manure would do inside a hugelkultur bed... Isn't it high in nitrogen? This winter when I do my coop and run deep litter clean out, I'm going to put it in a hugel bed. Wonder if I should ask a local farmer for some cow poo.
Gardening is fun. Sticks plus poo equals awesome tomatoes.
usually, you don't put too much high nitrogen into the hugel since the idea is for it to break down slowly and release the nutrients - so a long term thing. I don't use steer manure since it usually had a lot of salt in it and we don't have much rain and the city water is high in salt...
Oh okay, cool. I was thinking all the carbon would want some nitrogen. If not, then that's.good to know. I probably won't have a hard time finding a use for the chicken compost lol
If you want it to produce well from the very beginning, you can add nitrogen - but the idea is kind of to be this long lasting project. It is really up to the designer what their goal is. If you add the nitrogen, it just breaks down faster...

Thank you so much!!
That would be something for my father in law! He would buy all he flowers :)
Bring him over. It is a rather nice nursery. Very well kept...
Ready made raised beds? Sounds cool. I wonder if our local nursery has some. And if not, I wonder if I could squeeze some product into a niche market...
Either sell it to the nursery or install it in people's homes. In San Diego, a woman started a business doing garden consulting and she installed veggie gardens for people and provided even the upkeep - including harvesting if people didn't want to do that...
Wow, that sounds like a really cool business model! I'd love to do that in my neighborhood...
Sell smaller beds at retail and do larger custom install as well. The garden servicing is a really cool feature too. I may need to explore this option!
Que lugar tan bonito, me gusta igual sembrar plantas, pero donde vivo no puedo.
