Blue Berry Pics
Comments (10)The raised beds are 3ft X 3ft X 10in high with a mix of mostly peat moss with 2 1/2 bags (50lbs each) of Natures Way Resources Blue Berry Mix and little bit of pine bark mulch. Its also topped with 3in or so of pine bark mulch. I also added sulfer and cottonseed meal when mixing it all together. 2 of the potted plants have 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 soil conditioner (composted pine material), 1/3 pine bark. And one potted plant has all the same plus some perlite I had laying around that needed to be used. They all seem to enjoy there home for now. I have some burnt tips on the new growth on all the plants at one time or another. Not to sure whats its from either. Was thinking maybe lack of water or water quailty? Im using municiple city water acidified with sulfuric acid to ph5. I have noticed that some of the new tip growht that gets rubbed other branches from the wind will get this burnt look to it. Attached is a picture that was caused from rubbing against another branch untill grew past it. Some other ones though Im not to sure about....See MoreBeautiful bountiful John Davis
Comments (22)Anika, isn't that the truth?! I don't know, either, what to expect after such a winter as we're having in the midwest. Anyway, John Davis for me, after maybe 8 years or so, is about 4 feet wide by 5 feet tall. I do cut it back pretty low most springs...otherwise I think it would get even bigger. Nearby is The Dark Lady (Austin rose), which has just been limping by year after year, not doing nearly as well...although I have to say, last year, it showed more promise and grew up as well as the wimpy, mostly sideways, strange laying-on-the-ground kind of growth it had been putting out....See MoreMore local Plant Sales- NH Edition

On the eve of Mother's Day will be a colorful range of perennials, bulbs, shrubs and annuals hand selected by the garden club members to perform well in your garden this summer and beyond. Take the opportunity while there to discuss the idiosyncrasies and intimate preferences of these species by gardeners who know and love them. By enhancing your garden you are also contributing to local scholarships, including the newly christened Margery Milne and Joe Parks Scholarships in horticulture and agricultural science for achieving students at the University of New Hampshire.( The Durham Garden Club has also recently formed an alliance with the Organic Garden Club at UNH in recognition of their energetic pursuit of sustainable gardening practice and the generous community dinners and other outreach programs they run). Part of the fun will be the raffle of special items given to the Club by local greenhouses (including new cultivars from the University greenhouses) and garden shops. This annual plant sale has been sponsored by the Durham Garden Club for over 50 years, so come and continue the tradition of supporting the Club's mission of environmental education, charity and beautification of our community....See MoreBounty Of Blooms (Part 6)
Comments (11)Thanks all for your kinds words. Boxofrox: Disneyland can be a challenge here on the east coast. If you aren't religious with spraying it will get blackspot literally overnight. Probably why it's called Disneyland instead of Disneyworld. Definitely better suited for dry climate. Iris_gal: Gold Medal takes on myriad of colors during its bloom cycle. Some start out with an orange edge then turn yellow and finally before dropping turn almost white. Lesley/Harold: I do enjoy growing roses in pots. Generally I leave them in their original containers the first year to see how they do. If I'm happy with their performance the next year they go in the ground or into a much larger pot. I'm fortunate to have an unattached, unheated garage to overwinter them in. I use Miracle-Gro Potting Mix (not the moisture control stuff) mixed with some humus/manure. I throw in a little alfalfa meal and bone meal at the bottom of the planting hole. I've found this, plenty of water (almost daily) and monthly feedings of half-strength Rose-Tone makes them really happy campers. Sometimes I use a foliar spray of fish emulsion and/or seaweed....See Moremelissa_thefarm
