A Day at the Temecula/Fallbrook Nurseries

Last Sunday we dedicated the day to visit the nurseries in the Temecula, Rainbow and Fallbrook area. Our purpose was learning of choices to plant in our back yard. The first nursery we went had metal structures that people could put in their yards. Could the lion above and the giraffes below be good choices for our small back yard?

Since our back yard is small, maybe this turtle could be better

Then we went to a nursery in Fallbrook. There was a huge variety of trees. All kids of fruit trees. We want to plant at least two fruit trees in our back yard.

The big pots are recommended for replanting trees once you take them home. A wooden pot like one of these could be perfect for replanting a dwarf lemon tree.

Maybe a clay pot could be better. I think this clay ones are beautiful!

So many choices of post of many shapes and sizes

We found the one we both like! But when we looked at the price, it was $450. We decided this one is not for us. :-(

We also looked at decorative plans and flowers.

Our back yard could feel as cozy and beautiful like this, one day. I could stay here all day!

Off we went to another nursery looking for more ideas and we came to this one, another huge one.
We enjoyed walking among all the rows of plants of all kinds.

A grapefruit tree. Very small trees already produce fruit.
We decided we like to have a Kumquat tree...

and also a lemon tree in our back yard. So we will be back here when we are ready to buy our trees.

This small lemon tree is already producing a lot of lemons. This is the tree for us. I love to use lemons in my salad and is great to make fresh lemonade:-)



There was this very loud parrot at this nursery. He was friendly saying "hello" wanting you to come close to him. It wanted attention.

Our only purchase of the day was a box of soil treatment to neutralized the ph and acidity of the soil in our raised bed where we will plant our vegetables garden. We had a great day visiting nurseries. We also learn a lot, but we have soooooo much more to learn about gardening.
