We want to tell all of our loyal customers how sorry we are that we aren't having Reindeer this year. We DO still have all of the live trees, so come visit with us if you can. We love seeing everyone.<br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">My Christmas Confession</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’m a child of the 70s and 80s and the daughter of a man who never liked to spend a dime. I remember Christmases spent visiting family and friends. I would covet their perfect, plastic trees like a child with a J.C.Penney catalog. The trees at my house belonged in the Land of Misfit Toys. My dad and I would don boots and coats and head off to the field to find the perfect (free) tree. It was never that perfect triangular shaped Frazier fir. It was usually a bomb-shaped, sad Cypress or Spruce. My dad’s only concerns were ‘evergreen’ and ‘free’. Each year I had high hopes as we left the house of finding a REAL Christmas tree, yet each year we brought home the first cedar we came across. My dad passed away when I was 15, and I’m pretty sure the first thing my mom and I bought was a fake tree.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Fast forward a few years, and thanks to Martha Stewart, the REAL tree has made a huge comeback. Most people aren’t walking around out in their kin-folks backyards for a tree. Martha has taught us all that while we DO need a real tree, it needs to be pretty darn close to perfect. Enter my husband, Scott, and his garden center, sitting bare during the cold winter months. Selling big beautiful Christmas trees was a natural fit. So now, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, we help supply our community with near-perfect real trees. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Here’s the confession part. Three years ago I was VERY pregnant during the holiday rush season. We decided to get a.......FAKE.....tree. There, I said it. I was so tired and watering that darn tree for three weeks seemed like such a daunting task (you would think I was having to feed it three meals a day). The whole family climbed into the SUV and traveled up to Pigeon Forge, to pick the perfect fake tree in the comfort of a controlled temperature environment. We even found one that was pre-lit! Oh joy!!!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We brought home the boxed tree and opened it in the den. Oh, the excitement of that perfect, no maintenance tree. We put it up, plugged it in and BAM! That was it.....we hated it. What an ugly tree. No amount of fluffing would make it look like the model in the store. I thought maybe after I put the decorations on it...no, it was awful. So, we ended up with TWO trees. I was too tired to turn around and take the fake tree in the den down after all of that work. We put the real tree in the living room in front of the picture window. It was perfect. Did we KNOW deep down we were going to hate the fake tree? Why had we stuck it down in the den where no one else could see it while leaving the prime window space free? I guess we’ll never know. I only know that the fake tree hasn’t left the basement since we took it down on Christmas day three years ago.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So with my great confession, I want to thank all of our customers who make the effort to come out in the cold and rain; and if we are lucky, snow; to spend the time to pick out a real tree. We hope you guys enjoy the season as much as we do. </span></div>

I’ve come to a couple of conclusions: 1) they aren’t that bad the way they are. You don’t have to use that much olive oil and the only other bad thing is, 2) cornmeal. Listen, I’m sorry, I’m a southern girl. If you are going to take the cornmeal out of these, I don’t want ‘em. There’s a little flour in there, too, but I think we will all be ok. My biggest issue is the fact that when I make these they are the ONLY thing that I have for dinner. They are a main dish for me. I need to work on that, but they are so goooooood. My lesson here is to listen to my friend Dianne. She knows her Squash Patties. Sorry girlie! So, have a good time and enjoy the bounty from your gardens!! I would love to hear what anyone else is making from their gardens. I’m having such a good time with the fresh veggies. I could really become a vegetarian during the summer months. </span><div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We were going to start selling local farmer’s produce last week, but it’s just been too darn hot. This week is supposed to be better. We don’t want to bring a bunch of produce in and have to waste it. That’s really not the point of all of this. If there is something special that you would like to see at the nursery, let us know and we will be glad to try to find it for you. We do still have some herbs and all of our plants are 40% off right now. Of course, we always have mulch for those diehard gardeners out there!! </span></span></div>

I'm going to make the dish tomorrow night, take some pictures and then post a link for you guys, if they turn out as yummy as I hope. I REALLY don't want to post something unless I think it's good. Don't you think that's the way it should be?!?<br />
<br />
SOOOOOOO, instead, I'm posting this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gqzzssTVubw">video</a> of my dogs cooling off in the yard. The Little One can watch this all day long, so I thought you guys might like it, too.<br />

It may be about gardening in your yard using beautiful plants, or it may be about cooking dishes made from local produce. TODAY's post is from one of my childhood friends, Dianne. She makes some lovely dishes, and when she posted a picture of this one on Facebook, I knew it was something I wanted to try. Well, try it I did! I made these one night last week with YELLOW SQUASH from the Creekside Garden. Scott and I didn't even make the rest of the items we had for dinner! We just sat down and each had a big plate of these Yellow Squash Patties. They were THAT good. I'll be speaking with Dianne about what other recipes she can share with me. Also, if any of my readers have a dish that they would like to share, I would love to hear about it. Gotta love the harvest in east Tennessee.<br />

<div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">From the introducers of <a href="http://www.theknockoutrose.com/"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #0327a2; text-decoration: underline;"><b>The Knock Out® Family of Roses,</b></span></a> comes the next big thing for small gardens. Like The Knock Out® Family of Roses, Drift® Roses are repeat-bloomers that are tough, disease resistant, winter hardy and virtually maintenance-free.</span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Drift® Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniature roses. From the former they kept toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness. From the miniatures, they inherited their well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature. </span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Continuously blooming from spring to frost (bloom cycle about every 5-6 weeks), they are naturally dwarf, with very attractive foliage. They are winter hardy to zone 4. </span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Drift® Roses range in size from 2-3' wide x 1 1/2' tall. The low, manageable habit of Drift® Roses makes them perfect for small gardens, hillsides, perennial beds and even awkward areas. They brighten up borders and fill in empty spaces around your favorite established plants.</span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Prune back to about 6" in early spring (after the last hard frost) for best performance. Regular deadheading encourages re-blooming and helps maintain a tidy appearance but isn't necessary.</span></div>

I want to address some questions we get at the nursery this time of year. This is really important to us, so I hope you have a few minutes to read this. Thanks in advance.<div><br /></div><div>Missy</div><div><br /></div><div>Spring has attacked early this year!! We've all been holding our breathe waiting for that big snowstorm, but it looks like we dodged that bullet (knock on wood). The garden centers at Big Box retailers are bursting at the seams. Our clients regularly ask about this. So, here's the 'rest of the story'...Big Box retailers source plants from all over the United States, and in some cases, the world. They are able to get just about any plant at any time of year. Local garden centers, like us, put great pride in getting plants from local growers. Many times the person driving the delivery truck is the same person who took care of those plants before they arrived at Creekside Nurseries. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US. We also know, from talking to our clients, that it's important to you guys as well. Shopping, sourcing, & eating local helps us all. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also, keep in mind, just because your Big Box retailer has a plant in, it doesn't mean it's time to plant. We try to wait until it's time for that plant to go out in the yard. Putting it out early means there is a good chance the little guy isn't going to make it. Of course, when you are dealing with Mother Nature, only SHE knows...</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have an event at your home or business and need greenery, call us or stop by. Because our growers are local, sometimes we can pick up a few things a little early for special needs. We always try to accommodate our clients when possible. That's not always the case, but we will try to find something that might be in bloom, or is at least green. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this helps everyone to understand a little better what we do. Feel free to leave any comments or questions here and I will be glad to read and answer where required. We love our community and are thankful to you guys for keeping us in business for more than 10 years. Thank you. </div>Missy Langleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840472634474869400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630130214333767032.post-83110639423015188052012-02-28T07:04:00.003-08:002012-02-28T07:18:15.854-08:00Gotta LoVe the South!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsUIf9zpB0T_NK7tkSeCVzfT_9219GcclMU5lZxxsU1AUrO8yOK6R5TM_Bbfm0PXTHrJsG1laBLirnfnb0zNJljlTUO7NQcW8HrAJ6ilzD2Rz73G8zz37X9We-svOyHZGfj817qqu8oHw/s1600/174812_8855481462_614471340_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsUIf9zpB0T_NK7tkSeCVzfT_9219GcclMU5lZxxsU1AUrO8yOK6R5TM_Bbfm0PXTHrJsG1laBLirnfnb0zNJljlTUO7NQcW8HrAJ6ilzD2Rz73G8zz37X9We-svOyHZGfj817qqu8oHw/s400/174812_8855481462_614471340_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714203067907587010" /></a>This month's issue of <a href="http://www.southernliving.com/home-garden/gardens/">Southern Living</a> is one of the best as far as gardening and curb appeal goes!

These two months used to seem so L-O-N-G and dark. Many people get seasonal depression right now, and I can sure understand that....but now, well, at the garden center we get to spend the time after the holidays looking through beautiful catalogs for spring plants and flowers. Isn’t that great? We’ve also been looking into the herbs for spring (that’s my personal favorite!) The Herb House has been a big hit the past few years and we do not plan to disappoint this year, either. Is there anything better than stepping out on your patio and grabbing a handful of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil">this</a> or <a href="http://www.food.com/library/rosemary-340">that</a> to put in a <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/tomato-mozzarella-and-basil-bruschetta-recipe/index.html">recipe</a>?

The old wives’ tales tell us that a warm January could mean some nasty weather in February, and even <a href="http://www.wate.net/weather/understanding-weather/storm-century">March</a>! So, watch out! Mother Nature could still be planning a winter formal...</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">I hope to be updating a lot over the next few weeks.

Isn't it funny when 86 is COOLER?!? HAHAHA...Fall is our favorite time of year at the nursery.

We can't wait! <div>

I'm blogging once a month now!! lol...I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger. My goodness I've gotten behind, but I promise I'm trying to get better. I sure hope you guys have driven by the nursery more times than I've posted recently. HA! From the looks of things, you have. The mulch has been FLYING out of here! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by for that. Seems like Rocky Hill is going to have some beautiful yards this spring. We got in some more herbs yesterday and also got a TRUCKLOAD of Japanese Maples!!!!! Stop by today to get first pick over those babies. We are ALSO working with our <a href="http://www.kamadojoe.com/">Kamodo Joe grill and smoker </a>representative to get a demonstration day together. Now, that will be some fun! These grills/smokers are great. We took one home with us and love it. <div><br /></div>Missy Langleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840472634474869400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630130214333767032.post-53535296884330761562011-03-08T05:05:00.000-08:002011-03-08T05:17:21.872-08:00Boing, Boing, Boing...Hoping into Spring...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwIC8CwvXVjB0mR99AZ_tJaO2BAXWpOAqYzx43LTPysoLGx8MuAYMEtw7eX1Z1YGViLOoDdZfeV6Ong7wSEjne96fQASwqtWg8P79AQBaapF-S_WCp6hqzu-U6PHgVoHWlse99fo4WEr8/s1600/IMG_2511.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwIC8CwvXVjB0mR99AZ_tJaO2BAXWpOAqYzx43LTPysoLGx8MuAYMEtw7eX1Z1YGViLOoDdZfeV6Ong7wSEjne96fQASwqtWg8P79AQBaapF-S_WCp6hqzu-U6PHgVoHWlse99fo4WEr8/s400/IMG_2511.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581696544666419666" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know you guys are feeling it, too.

I've not been at the nursery a lot this past year. Brycey was born a few days after the Reindeer Festival last year and that was all she wrote for me. The two of us hibernated for the rest of the winter. He loves being at the nursery, though. For a while I could contain him and then he started crawling...there was no hanging out down there at that point. He wanted to get outside and climb up on the Bobcat with Daddy. So, once again, we ended up waiting around at home every day. Now he is walking. As soon as it starts getting a little warmer, we will be down at the nursery a lot. Brycey is going to make sure that happens. If you've driven by the nursery lately, you know that there is a lot going on. We are building some structures outside to help organize the plants. We are also building a new checkout area. I think everyone is really going to like it! I know we are very happy with all of the changes. I'll try to post a few pictures in a day or two. We just got the roof finished today. Scott and the guys are really working hard on some beautiful hardscape projects. We'll get some of those posted, too (if the weather holds up). We are SOOOOOO looking forward to a great spring! Thanks to everyone who shops at the nursery.Missy Langleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840472634474869400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630130214333767032.post-50888939579984869262010-09-14T06:27:00.000-07:002010-09-14T06:37:13.071-07:00Fallin' In<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSBb0EceAuz33cveHd7y5FNvHnYIA-G05yOqSv5h23C1QEnl2w5c5OBfZDJ_AZV17c0lMWVeaoTBaP_YGrFM4nFRf6lO5F-shFxtgwG45ZhXXUYw2LJYm2YQRdic5RpuLRhyphenhyphenvsYzYabc/s1600/IMG_2066.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSBb0EceAuz33cveHd7y5FNvHnYIA-G05yOqSv5h23C1QEnl2w5c5OBfZDJ_AZV17c0lMWVeaoTBaP_YGrFM4nFRf6lO5F-shFxtgwG45ZhXXUYw2LJYm2YQRdic5RpuLRhyphenhyphenvsYzYabc/s400/IMG_2066.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516761337718324786" /></a><br />What a beautiful morning!

I'm not stupid. In retail, you have to learn to shift gears at different times than everyone else. So now I'm in fall mode. It's my favorite time of year. I think putting my brain into fall mode is also keeping me from having a heat stroke. I mean, REALLY, what's up with the heat! Is your yard burning up yet? If it is, you aren't the only one. Keeping a yard going this time of year is truly a labor of love. <div><br /></div><div>Since it's really hot and I didn't want to put a picture of a thermostat exploding, I'll leave you with a beautiful picture of a butterfly that my friend Dianne took. Isn't that a wonderful example of what nature gives us to enjoy during these sweltering summer afternoons?
