We are planting fruit trees today! The cooler temperatures and more consistent rain of Fall make it the perfect time to plant trees, and today we are planting persimmons. These fantastic Fall bearing fruit trees have strong memories for our family, and we are excited to to be able to have a more consistent supply in the coming years of one of our favorite Fall fruits. Join Jerry and I as we plant four of these fun fruit trees!

Trees were purchased from https://www.starkbros.com/

Are you looking for the perfect perennial to add to your garden this Fall? Come with me as we take a tour of some of the perennials Creekside Nursery has to offer you. October is a great time to plant perennials in your garden here in North Carolina because we still have warm temperatures and more consistent rain so the roots have plenty of time to get established before the coldest temperatures of the Winter hit.

In this video we’ll provide useful tips to help you to get the balance right.

Grab an Urban Worm Bag: https://bit.ly/2ybjJbb I get this question A LOT: “Can I just add earthworms into my bad soil to improve it?” The answer is…not really. Worms are the consequence of good soil, not a way to fix bad soil. It makes a bit more sense to start adding organic matter (food for worms and other soil life), allowing that soil life to proliferate, and then worms will start coming back to your soil.

Today’s build features a more low profile design – a koi pond with no waterfall! Part of the appeal is having the pond seem like an extension of the patio. It’s perfect for feeding the fish!
