I am on a roll this week, first a spot of restaurant recommendations, now a spot for gardening recommendations.
Being new to Boise this year, this is my first Fall/Winter, and am searching the net for answers on how, specific to the Treasure Valley, I should prep my plants.
In particular, roses, new fruit trees (peach, plum and 2 types of cherry), two new River Birch, a Solangiana Magnolia, two new aspens, and two potted rhododendrons.
If no responses here, I would suggest a visit to Zamzows, they are wonderful! Always available to give gardening advise. I'm planning a visit there soon myself.
I second zamzows great local business with great products my cousin worked there for years highly recommended. I'm not enough of a green thumb to chime in though sorry. Another recommendation would be my buddy Robin Whiteley out in marsing runs a place called treasure valley watergardens has many years of experience in gardening/landscaping and could be of some help especially if you might be into koi later
We did! We had a bunch of "no-see-um's" a week or so ago, annoying when you're sitting outside, or BBQ'ing.
The stuff I bought from ZZ's, you spray on in the evening and it's okay for pets/kids to be on next morning. Got rid of the bugs. Didn't seem to affect anything else but those flying critters, still have lots of butterflies and bees, and a few wasps.

I have a total black thumb, so not going to chime in at all, except to say don't forget to winterize your sprinkler system. If you are from a warmer climate, you may not know to do that.
Speaking of maintenance. Is blowing out sprinklers a necessity here? I'm guessing it freezes enough to risk bursting pipes in sprinkler systems, right?
