WANTED: wanted Sparkler Ajuga/Purple Brocade Ajuga/Salsa jasmin
Comments (0)Have Atlas (I believe it's Atlas) Coleus and Persian Shield and Tradescantia pallida (wikipedia says it's normally called a purple wandering jew plant) cuttings for trade. Is anyone interested? I'm in Austin Texas (zone 8b I believe) so if you want to trade anything that would work in my zone i'd love to try having a green garden :) I also have a Zebra Cactus aloe plant but I havn't figured out how to do cuttings and propagate these yet so it might not be the best for you to ask for, unless a simple cut and mail to you to grow would suffice. Those I havn't figured out yet. Thanks!...See MoreAjuga spread
Comments (33)Any kind of rigid lawn edging will work. I prefer the metal to the plastic, but that is a personal choice. And some folks have concrete curbing as edging (which I really dislike, as you lose all flexibility for changing bed size). I would avoid using cobbles, bricks or rocks, as it is easy for any unwanted growth - the lawn itself, weeds or traveling GC's - to migrate through the spaces/cracks between the stones. And if you are diligent and prefer not to use edging, just cutting a clean line between lawn and planting bed with a sharpened spade or edging tool works equally as well....See MoreBlack scallop Ajuga - root bound - how to start with it
Comments (3)i would take the hook end of my felcos.. and pull the bottom root apart ... i do not cut roots if i dont have too.. and these should fall apart rather easily .... and then stick it in a hole.. tamp it in properly.. and water properly ... are you such a newb you need planting help??.. if so.. we are glad to help ... im not sure about your twice as big hole.. it all depends on your native soil type .... most of us dont adhere to amending planting holes.. so why dig it so big ... is your soil so compacted that you need to fluff such a relatively large area???? it never hurts to include your big city location in every post ... im wondering if there is any reason not to plant yet.. were the pots properly hardened off from the green house.. etc ... ken...See MoreTransplanting ajuga
Comments (8)@ruth_mi, that hill is a new addition :-) The area that I moved it to last year was about 100' South of the original, and both areas are full sun with a sprinkler. The hill doesn't have a sprinkler, though, so I know that I'll have to haul 2G jugs a lot this year to get everything nice and established. It's OK, I've gained some weight in the last year and could use the exercise (●●) Should this be a simple matter of scooping under them a little with a shovel to keep about an inch of original soil, then sit them in place and surround them with mulch? @ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5, I usually split up my hardier stuff in April, then less-hardy stuff in May (after the traditional last frost). I'm pretty sure that my attempt last year was at the end of April. You're remembering when I had to move a few plants in late July / early August because I had a guy cutting trees and was going to damage them. Ironically, that guy dropped one of the trees EXACTLY on the new garden area, and destroyed 90% of what I'd moved trying to save! I know there's a lesson in there somewhere... Man plans, God laughs, maybe? But anyway. Here's what I'm looking at: A lot of the flowers have already gone away. I'm ready to work on it today unless you think I should wait for the flowers to all go away?...See MoreTamJP
