Construction Update
December 02, 2017 Categories >> Dayton-Xenia Road Construction
According to the road crew, they will be trying to get the road striped this week. Once that is finished, traffic will be moved to the newly paved surface on our side of the road. No more bumping up and down to come visit us! Our entrance will be much easier to find too. Hope to see you soon!

Construction Update
November 17, 2017 Categories >> Dayton-Xenia Road Construction
Starting today (11/17) and potentially lasting through next Wednesday (11/22), we will have only one entrance. The road crew has removed the western entrance, but that will reopen as soon as road paving is finished. Paving is scheduled to start on Monday; the western entry should be reopened by Wednesday, if not before. The east entry will remain open, although it seems to move a bit one direction or another every other day! It will be great when it's finished.
In the mean time, we would like to express our deep thanks for your patronage, your patience, and your determination to visit see us!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Another Construction Update

OUR SIGN IS BACK!
It is much shorter and still needs work, but at least we have a sign again!
As far as the road construction goes, the road crew will hopefully have our side of the road paved with the base coat of asphalt before the winter closes in. Fingers are crossed.

Construction Update - October
October 19, 2017 Categories >> Dayton-Xenia Road Construction
The Dayton-Xenia Road Construction Project continues!
We really do appreciate your patience and continued support of Deal’s Landscape Service.
Note from Cheryl…
A determined customer, who came in to buy a couple of bales of straw, told me he had passed our place three times, turned around and came back until he figured out how to get in. All I could do was tell him thanks for being persistent!
After talking to one of the road crew guys today, it sounds like they are hoping to have the soil stabilized, the curbs in and the initial asphalt down before Thanksgiving. The asphalt plant shuts down for the winter just before Thanksgiving. So, whatever we’re left with at that point, sounds like we will be dealing with when spring comes along next year. Not looking forward to that at all. Both entrances are open now with gravel “bridges” across a “moat” of destroyed road that has been hauled away.

Bagworms
May 27, 2017 Categories >> Bagworms | Landscape Maintenance
Bagworms eggs have hatched in our area.
It's time to control tiny bagworms with BTK. That's an abbreviation for Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, which is a naturally occurring biological insecticide sold under the name of Dipel or Thuricide.
It must be ingested by the young critters to be effective, so be sure to reapply if we have rain. A second application is recommended. This material is not very effective once the bagworms get a little larger, so be sure to apply soon.

Dayton-Xenia Road Construction Update
March 22, 2017 Categories >> Dayton-Xenia Road Construction
Just heard back from the city with an update on the road work and closure.
At this time it looks like the road will not be closed until after June 1. Until then, there will be periodic disruptions, but no closures.
The gas lines are just starting to be relocated, which will take about a month.
Near the end of April, the electric, phone and fiber lines will be relocated which will also take about a month.
Once that is accomplished the road will be closed for a period of about ten days at the eastern corner of our property. This is to replace the culvert for the creek that runs through our property. After that, at least one lane of traffic, and usually 2, will be open, but with periodic delays.
In the meantime, if you would like to know the road conditions at the moment for a planned trip to visit us, just call our office and we will walk outside and give you as much of an update as we can see in both directions.
Think Spring!
Hope to see you soon.

Seed Potatoes and Asparagus Roots
March 14, 2017
Seed Potatoes
Just arrived! Certified Organic seed potatoes. This year our choices include Purple Viking, Red Gold and Yukon Gold.
Asparagus Roots
Also new this year, we have Jersey Supreme Asparagus roots in stock. These are one year crowns, however they are conventionally grown rather than organic. So far, we haven't found a good source for organic asparagus roots. As soon as it warms up a bit, it will be a great time to get the asparagus in the ground. Shortly after that, it's potato planting time!
We will get updates on greenhouse grown organic vegetable seedlings as they come along. The cold weather has slowed them down quite a bit, but eventually they'll catch up.
Hope to see you soon. We’ll update our Deal’s Blog page often as we move into spring!

Road Construction
February 11, 2017
As you may know, the road in front of Deal’s will be widened this year. We don’t have a firm start date yet, but the first thing scheduled is replacement of the culvert at the east corner of our property. This stage of the construction will result in the road being closed. During that time our western most, uphill, driveway will remain open but the eastern drive will likely be blocked with equipment.
Our mulch piles will be relocated. So, mulch (and anything else we have) will still be available through the whole construction project.
Our sign will also be relocated. Hopefully, we will be able replace it with something as close to the existing sign as possible. Keep your fingers crossed!
We will post updates as we know more. Keep checking back.

Veggie Plants in The Works!
February 11, 2017
t may still be February, but some herbs and vegetables are already up and growing in the greenhouse. New this year, after several requests last year, we will have the much asked for mint. Spearmint adds a fresh flavor to many dishes. As with all mints, be sure to grow in a contained area, or you may want to try growing in a pot to keep it in check. It will tolerate light shade and can be harvested by pinching off leaves whenever needed. Mmmmm mojito.
We are also trying Artichokes this year; although we only started a few to see how they do. The young plants of the ‘Green Globe’ variety are lovely. We aren’t sure if we will harvest any fruits this year or if we will try to overwinter them for harvest next year. We’ll give them a somewhat sheltered spot and see how it goes. At worst, looks like we will have some great ornamental plants.
Another new start for this year is St. John’s Wort. Even if we don’t harvest the herb, we will have a great small shrubby groundcover with bright yellow flowers in late summer. This is a plant native to our area, so we should have no problems if we give it a spot with cool morning sun. It can self seed, so we will plant in an easy access place where we can control possible new plants.
Those are newbies we know about. There may be others to come. We’re just getting started. Stay tuned!

Beavercreek’s winter has been fairly mild so far, but this is not the time to ignore your landscape, particularly if you added new plants this past fall or a new live Christmas tree. Adequate watering is necessary over the winter months for your landscape. Dorment plants, old or new, require watering to survive the winter. Have questions?
