Summer is here! Weather events in spring have led to “accelerated growth” on some plants. Now because of the heat, many plants are done putting on new growth for this year. It’s time for most plants to start “stocking up” on sugars to store through the winter so they can emerge next spring.   

Our plant stock is in good shape considering the hot summer. Constant watering is necessary, however, you actually can over-water if you don’t check for it. Some plants protect themselves by “wilting” or shutting down to conserve water and prevent cell death. You might think they are dry – they may not be dry – check the soil before watering… 

The nursery is on ‘summer hours’ as of July 1st. We will be open Fridays 9 to 4 and Saturdays 8 to noon. Other times by appointment – 603-543-0384.

 Our landscaping and tree care work continues through out the summer and fall.  

  You can reach us by phone: 603-543-0384 or email:  info@logcabinnurserynh.com

 To repeat: With the wide variation in weather events (wet-hot-wet), be extra observant of your plants. Check the plants soil moisture by hand as it is possible to actually ‘over-water’ the root system leading to root rots. I have seen this right here in our nursery. The new growth folding up may be a result of high heat on tender spring tissue rather than lack of moisture.

 Our annuals and vegetables are sold out. Our perennials start at five dollars. We have a good selection of shrubs such as Japanese Red-leaf Maples, yellow magnolias, tree lilacs, flowering mock orange, Japanese umbrella pines, weeping katsuras, and more.

We have bark mulch – double ground with no dyes.   

There is a great selection of fruit trees that over-wintered with us here.

On the days the nursery is closed, you can call and we’ll set up an appointment to meet with us here.

 2025 appears to be a busy season with several projects lined up including planting sites, patios, walkways, drainage, driveways to name a few. Call or stop by and see us if you have a project you need help with.

Check out our nursery. A great supply of fruit trees – apples, pears, cherries, plums and peaches.

 We’ve been involved with many water projects including large ponds, back yard reflection pools, pondless waterfalls, and even interior pools. Water features give hours of enjoyment and adds another dimension to your yard.

We also have water lilies available at the nursery.

We are surrounded by plants that are not native to our area. Many of these plants are considered invasive and have become a serious problem for all of us. Invasive insects are also on the rise and even invasive worms. These “snake worms” are here to stay and we need to learn to manage them. To date, there are no “wormicides”(a made-up name) to control them. We encounter them about every where we go already.

 We may be able to help you control troublesome insects, scales and fungi attacking your plants, native and non-native. 

We no longer do forest management plans for current use as we’ve had to focus on other aspects of our business.  We do however, take care for shade trees and small tracts of forests. Basically “Urban Forestry”.

Plant care involves pruning, fertilizing, pest control, soil amendments, and other treatments of shrubs and trees. If your tree or shrub is in poor soil, we can remove that soil with our air spade and replace it with good amended soil with out harming the tree. Your plant’s health will improve.

The use of specialized fertilizers at appropriate times will help tree defenses against pests. Currently this is one of the best treatments against the new Beech Leaf Disease coming our way soon.

We’re sorry to say 2024 was our last “Christmas Season” at the nursery after nearly 50 years.

The “Christmas” block will remain on the web site in case something changes.

Thank you to our customers that cleaned us out this year in a record 6 days !
