Need an ID on this PNW plant
Comments (10)There is actually a ceanothus that is native to much of the eastern half of the US, Ceanothus americanus, aka New Jersey tea, but it is not evergreen and flowers white. West coast ceanothus are pretty much restricted to that location and rather coastal conditions in particular. They are not very cold hardy and prefer dry summers and poorer soils....See MoreAnyone Planted Maters Yet in Zone 7-8 PNW?
Comments (19)Sorry to have disappeared. Had to travel out of town for work. So here are some details. I used the welded wire fencing as it is sturdy enough to stand up but flexible enough to be bent/cut easily. To save your hands get a decent pair of wire cutters. You can buy this in 25-100 foot rolls at anywhere from 3ft to 6ft tall. Depends on how much you think you will use as to which size you buy. Also, how much cutting you want to do. Three foot sections give you perfect 1/2 cut (one cut to give you the 18inches) and still works well for the tent sides to use at the beginning and end of season. I use the 6 mil clear plastic sheeting and would fold it over a few times at the edges where I would attach it to the fencing. I usually used a hole punch to put a hole in the folded plastic then used string (anything that will stand up to the outdoors) to tie the plastic onto the fencing. You could use twist ties, zip ties, light weight wire. I think I tried staples and they ripped through the plastic, so something you can "tie" around the wired fence works best. Depending on how your plant layout goes, will depend on whether you need to do one around each plant or one long wrap around a whole area. I gardened using the square foot method in most cases, so I used long sections of the plastic lined fencing around up to 10 plants at a time. If you use the conduit for supports, you can either cut them to just stick up enough to support the surround (after they are stuck in the ground as deep as you can) or you can make them taller and use them to support the tent lid later. If you have a windy area, you may wish to tie the surround to the supports. If you have the supports sticking up at least 4-6 inches over the side fencing, you can slip the tent over those support poles and use that to hold the tent up. Picture a dog house. The surrounds are the walls and the tent is the lid. You just cut a small hole in the plastic right where it will go onto the lower support poles and you are set. You can also use the parts sticking up to open the tent, by setting the tent on top of the supports (not through the holes) to give some ventilation on warmer days. I wish I had photos of this set up to share, but so far I have not found any in my BOXES and CDs of photos. I'll keep looking though. The two years I did the tent over my tomatoes, I had grown them against the south wall of our house, then shed, so I hung a lean-to top (one sided) from overhang of the house instead of "tenting". I did use the tent method over my peppers though. Again, the great part about this system is it's fairly cheap and is reusable for years and years. I don't mind spending the first year to get things going, but I like to reuse as much as I can. Good luck and if I find some photos, I'll post them....See MoreCan anyone ID this plant
Comments (1)Senetti, aka Cineraria pericallis hybrid....See MoreAnyone interested in a PNW Plant swap?
Comments (58)Any hydrangea lovers near Shoreline WA? The swap/potluck will be at my house and I have about 61 different hydrangeas in my garden. I will be happy to share cuttings if anyone is interested to join us. The plants beautiful this year and most are blooming or will soon. Please email me if you are interested. If you don't have time to make cuttings, don't worry, bring plants and we can divide here. If you dig them up, put in plastic bags or tarps and PLEASE label them. You can post the names if possible. The garden is on a hill so can be a challenge for some and little kids have to be watched. We border on the Boeing ravine and is a great place for hiking - for the older kids and teens. We are meeting on July 22, about noon to 3ish. Come and meet some of the folks that also love gardening and some even hydrangeas. You can email me directly at spswagarden@gmail.com I will send directions and map to our house. Hope to see you and meet you in person....See MoreOlychick
