Springtime is
for gardening
By Paul Weideman
S
anta Fe gardeners are hot to trot. The traditional first day that you can plant without
worrying about frost is May 15, but that doesn’t mean everyone waits until that date
to get their hands full of soil. In mid-April, Newman’s Nursery only had about 45
geraniums remaining from its first spring group of 1,200 plants.
“Every year people are buying earlier to make sure we have what they want,” Malcolm
Forsythia
Newman said. “We grow as much as we can here, but we can’t just replenish them with a
phone call. It used to be the middle of April and now it’s into March for certain geraniums.”
Three weeks into spring, Newman’s had a selection of pansies and rose plants out front.
In the greenhouse were scads of lobelias, Alyssum, petunias (including some giant plants in
hanging baskets) snapdragons, geraniums, zinnias, and marigolds.
Just in back of the store were some weeping Prunus and Sargent Tina crabapple trees, as
well as many varieties of apples, apricots, peaches, plums and cherries.
“The fruit trees are selling OK,” said the store’s Jeremy Lopez. “We’ve also been doing a lot
of piñon and Austrian pine to replace trees killed by the bark beetles. And more xeric shrubs
like chamisa and Apache plume.”
In a depressed economy, it would make sense that more gardeners are getting into
perennials to avoid the annual sticker shock of buying annuals. Lopez said that theory also
applies to food plants. “We are seeing increased sales of vegetables with the economy as it is,
and I think we’ve sold more perennials the last few years.”
Tough perennials are always a good idea, especially in the exposed, hot, windy, outlying
areas. Among the best are yarrow, lamb’s ear, coneflowers and Gaillardia.
Lopez said the nursery’s customers want plants that don’t need much watering, but he
warned that “drought-tolerant” doesn’t mean you can just stick transplants in the ground
and expect them to grow. Even plants native to Northern New Mexico — such as chamisa,
mountain mahogany, perky sue and grey santolina — need to be watered for a year or two
until they’re established.
Malcolm Newman stressed that hanging baskets of lobelias or petunias need close
attention, water-wise, although geraniums are a little more forgiving.
“Every year we sell more and more colorful baskets, and it’s a phenomenal year for
pansies,” said Newman, standing in the greenhouse. “If we have a really cold winter like we
did, people are just ready for spring, and I think people are finally deciding to spend a little
more on themselves and their gardens. None of these things are big ticket items, so it’s easy A pond full of koi at Santa Fe Water Gardens
to come in and get some pansies.

“People aren’t coming in to buy fountains and expensive pots, but geraniums are hot. This
is for patio pots and containers; every year that gets bigger. That whole group we’re standing
in falls into that: the New Guinea impatiens, spreading petunias and Lantanas and sweet
potato vines.”
He said the demand for vegetables and herbs was shifting to more heirloom varieties,
such as the Hillbilly and Russian tomatoes, and expanded taste in herbs. “We have more
than a dozen varieties of basil. Thai basils have been really big. And our eggplant collections
have finally caught on. We have unusual ones, like Turkish orange and Japanese ones and
Chinese blue eggplants.”
The nursery has a good selection of shovels and trowels, gloves, hoses, drip-irrigation
equipment, sprayers, netting to protect fruit and vegetables from birds, and — for those little
burrowers who are so good at messing up your landscape — gopher traps and gopher smoke
bombs and Molemax repellent that’s also effective for gophers. A 10-pound bag of Molemax
is $19. You just spread it on the ground then water so it soaks into the soil. A bag treats
5,000 square feet of landscape.
Another way to improve your garden environment, to transform it into a real backyard
oasis, is to create a bubbling water feature. You can get a good idea of the possibilities with
a visit to Santa Fe Water Gardens on Agua Fria Street. Behind the store are several water
features installed naturalistically, in landscaping, with waterfalls. They include small and Vinca

large ponds filled with colorful koi and a rocky stream. There are also more than a dozen
working fountains.
Inside the store are tanks of koi and Gambusia (mosquito-eating fish), aquatic plants,
more fountains, and birdbaths, Buddha statues and pond chemicals and supplies.
Santa Fe Water Gardens specializes in designing, installing and maintaining water
features and the fish and plants that live in them. They also are dealers of RainXchange, a
system for harvesting rainwater that also provides a water feature. For more information,
visit the store or see santafewatergardens.biz.
Besides Newman’s, visit Santa Fe’s other nurseries: Payne’s, Santa Fe Greenhouses, Plants
of the Southwest, and Agua Fria Nursery. The first three have sprawling websites offering
information about their flowers, vegetables, herbs, shrubs and trees, as well as gardening
articles and tutorials. See paynes.com, highcountrygardens.com (Santa Fe Greenhouses’
website), and plantsofthesouthwest.com.
Payne’s offers spring gardening classes. One that was listed on the business’ website
at press time is on Saturday, May 7, when garden writer Rand Lee presents “Grandma’s
Garden: Old-fashion Flowers, Herbs & Edibles.” He will show “a rainbow of heirloom
annuals, perennials, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that can be combined to make a Santa Fe
cottage garden or potager.” The event takes place at Payne’s South, 715 St. Michael’s Drive,
starting at 11 a.m.
The master gardeners are great resources to answer your questions. Call the Santa Fe
Master Gardener Association at 471-6251 or visit the organization’s website, sfmga.org, for
notices of classes like “Vegetable Gardening in Eldorado” on May 14 and the “Audubon Ask

Book urges ‘new way to think about water’
By Paul Weideman
N ate Downey has been busy with booksignings and

speaking engagements on the heels of publication
of his book Harvest the Rain: How to Enrich Your Life by
Seeing Every Storm as a Resource.
Downey, who has penned the “Permaculture in Practice”
