New Year Garden Theme Swap 2020
Comments (138)I got a question for ya, Seed Givers - I got a lot of those tiny ziplocks and my fat, calloused fingers just cannot open them. So I am transferring the seeds into other packaging until I can sow them. Some seeds I will have to give away as those plants won't grow in Florida, and I have a lot that will have to wait until September to sow for winter. So I need to know what will be the best replacement packaging to use to keep my seeds healthy and viable....especially those that will be waiting until fall and Christmas swaps and times to sow. I sometimes have terribly low germination rate and wonder if it's the way the seeds have been stored. What do you guys do?...See More2020 Gardening
Comments (56)Your plants always look fantastic, begonias very dark and healthy, well fed! Indeed, I think some of the best full and shapely blooms are in the 'Illumination' yellow breeding lines. Soon the first flowers to open on my 'Apricot Shades' and hope they're as nice as the photos. These are developing better than any others, 'Sun Dancers' were a bit pokey, though now kicking into gear, the 'On Tops' are the most NON uniform, I have large, medium and very small plants. All in all, growing from seed is very economical in comparison to purchasing bulbs and plants, really not all that difficult either! Yes, really too bad your very nicely variegated geranium refuses to remain that way, that leaf is gorgeous! Need to get more transplanting done today and sow some French marigolds! Another rose seedling flowering for the first time (right), rather like this one and hope it doesn't pink all out as it matures. The solid pink being the one as shown above, it has really great lasting qualities, bloom here is two weeks old and still fresh and unfaded. Have been chip budding some of my favorite seedling roses and named varieties, sure a great way to utilize rose seedlings as rootstock, those that I'd otherwise discard due to poor quality traits. Weather has really improved of late, though wish this COVID thing would go away, really hate now going shopping and all this social distancing thing, not that I have a problem conforming, rather to the contrary, though it just all feels very awkward and people now so seldom even look one another in the eye. A young chip budded specimen of my 5 ft tall pillar rose, there's just something about this rose!...See MoreMy 2020 Rose Garden
Comments (157)Every spring, Moonstone manages to have the most perfect flush of all my roses. Every bloom is perfect Every stem is perfect Every leaf on the the whole plant is perfect, which has perfect shape. The blooms are huge and uniform, and nothing seems to bother it. We had Bortrytis and weather issues all springs, yet Moonstone looks like it was grown under glass. Such an impressive rose. Not much fragrance and slow to repeat , hopefully that will improve with age, but just so beautiful in spring. A friend sent me this link from rose.org, it appears Moonstone is the top exhibition rose, followed by Veterans Honor. Not surprised at all, these are such perfect and infallible roses....See MoreKarly Simon Master Rain Gardener Class 2020 - Washtenaw County
Comments (2)The photo labeled "two" with no snow... If you dig a gravel walkway from the driveway down to the rain garden location to force the water to the desired location the water will not affect the basement. Curve the walkway all the way up into the corner by the garage door, or use something very densely rooted as an edging to deflect the water to the walkway. Siberian or Japanese Iris work well for this,or even Liriope which is evergreen....See Morezeedman Zone 5 Wisconsin
