What better time to plan for next year’s season than when you are are just wrapping up the current year’s gardens? The list of what went where this year, what worked and what didn’t, and what you loved vs what wasn’t inspiring is all fresh in your mind! For 2009 at MsDebbieP’s House: plant a second apple tree, getting better odds of a good harvest, if one tree doesn’t produce (tree already planted) move rhubarb, allowing more room by the shed (use ...
I planted these plants last year and forgotten about then,well they finely show up. What a surprise,is must be old age I can’t remember what I planted. This one is called a corn plant when it first started to come up I though it was a weed and was ready to pull it out right now it’s about 7 1/2 feet tall and has yellow flowers on it that look like ears of corn. This is another one I forgot about,it’s called a jack o lantern plant I found it last October at home de...
I thought I would take some photo’s of the garden,things are looking good so far. </ I found this little guy under the lily pad, you can him better in the next photo
As a lot of you know, I dug a pond a few months ago, planted some flowers…. and thought it was all done!WRONG! I cant leave well enough alone!!So, I emptied the pond, removed the lining, dug some more, put the lining back and…decided to do some concrete borders. Started the borders, then it rained and rained…had to work on some other projects, rain and rain, went out of town for a week+, worked on another project, then another one and today went back to the pond and had to ...
The garden of 2008 has proven to be very informative. Because of all the spring rain, everything got started late. This year some plants were started indoors. This proved rather futile. It would seem there are aspects of this technique that are not fully understood yet. Then there was a problem with tillage. This update covers what has been found to date and other information that might prove useful to others. Images are at the end with descriptions. Starting Plants Indoors The problems...
While trying to expand my gardens, there was one particular problem that started bothering me. Gardening should not be a series of back breaking tasks. As my gardens expanded, nature would take over very quickly. In order to keep up, my investment in labor became overwhelming. There was no way I could keep up with the weeds and bugs and such. Soon, the gardens would be a lost cause. I started understanding the strategies of mechanized farming. Instead of hand grooming this plant and that, it ...
With the rain we had and the warm weather the flowers are really taking off,I and just about have everything in for this season except for the the front yard beds, right now the pansies are still looking great so I figure I have another month before change those beds.
Getting close to the end of my stock of pots, today I’m planting gerbera daisy’s and zinnia’s these will go in my sunny spots, they make for great splash of color. I have my other helper today this is flossie, she’s not much for gardening but she does enjoy my bags of planting soil.
I took some photos of my progress so far for the year, I still have more plots to fill in more beds to plant.this was a great day for planting the temperature was about 80°f and I couldn’t wait to get started. These are some of my geraniums this year I was able to find the darker red color, these are my favorites I haven’t gotten a chance to do too much with the pond area yet, the pond has been cleaned and the lilies has been brought up from the bottom . I still have to...
Well it’s time for me to start filling my pots I have quite a few started already I’m working Coleus pots right now. I found some new colors that I’m planting right now is called (SEDONA)and of course I have my old favorites, I’m saving a couple pots for new colors. These are some of my coleus pots I have already filled ,I tried to keep the pots looking full so I plant at least three plants per pot. Later in the season they will completely fill the pot.
