Comments (12)Marian the bugbane is Cimicifuga simplex White Pearl. I have several other bugbanes several of the dark-foliaged ones that bloom earlier, but I really like this one because it blooms so late. In the living room bed there is also some Eupatorium Chocolate blooming with it I hope, by next year, both plants will be settled in better and put on a big, late show together Norma the bugbane is one of those versatile plants that can take a wide variety of light conditions. The one under the pines gets very little light and is in very dry conditions it would probably be bigger in better conditions as they are supposed to be in moist, rich soil. The ones I moved from the shed were in sort of medium shade, with little or no direct sun. Now that they are in the living room bed, they get an hour or so of afternoon sun but are otherwise in the shade of the house and/or the ash tree. The soil in the LR bed is likely going to be drier than theyd like too but theyre doing fine now. There are soaker hoses in that bed so they will get adequate water next year if I leave them there. The hosta is Northern Halo (I think I just plant ones I like and am never entirely sure if Ive got the names right once they are in the ground. I know I did buy a Northern Halo for the patio bed, so I assume thats it) T all the leaves are cleaned up as of this afternoon. There is a huge ash in the backyard that produces most of them. The oak is still fairly small and holds a lot of its leaves through the winter, so the ash and the white pines account for most of the leaf litter. I wish I had another couple of trees worth of leaves! We just run the lawnmower over them to chop them first and then rake them up and dump them on the beds. We have a leaf bag attachment but I dont use it (I can never get it to stay attached!) The chopped leawes rake up easily and any chopped-up bits we miss just rot down into the lawn and feed the grass. It only took 90 minutes to clean it all up this afternoon. theres less and less lawn each year and anything that falls on the beds just stays there unchopped. Raking the paths clear took more time than cleaning up the leaves on the patio and lawn....See MoreOct. 20-24, Bay area SFO: what'll be blooming?
Comments (7)Most all kinds of roses bloom around here in late Oct, except the "once blooming" ones, and this year some of THOSE are blooming now, so who knows? We had a really cool summer for us - the roses love it. Most of my roses put out some bloom in Oct, Nov, and Dec - we really have a 12 month season. My old tea roses, in particular, love October, but so do many of the HTs. So, I would check out the gardens noted above. Also, if you can get up to Sacramento (depending on where you are in the East Bay, it might be even closer than San Jose), be sure to go to the Sacramento Historic Cemetery Old Rose Garden - it is amazing. They have planted old roses rescued from all over No Cal there, among the historic grave stones. By October Sacramento will have cooled down to livable temperatures for humans. Hope you enjoy your trip! Jackie...See MoreJodi's Tour Continues...
Comments (5)Thank you, Lisa! I remember my very first home with a yard... I didn't know half of what I know now about gardening, but I dove in and began creating garden areas, filling them with perennials and bulbs... it looked pretty good, considering it was my first attempt at perennial gardening! If there was any advice I could give a gardener just starting out, it would be... amend your soil before planting, as you're digging your beds... mulch well, and finally... research your plant choices before planting. If you begin with good soil, know what you're planting, and protect your gardens for winter, you'll have good success... and you'll be a happy gardener!...See MoreExcellent Garden Tour in Kimberling City Area TOMORROW
