Clematis plants are definitely among the most popular vines grown in the home landscape. They feature woody vines as well as evergreen varieties. They also vary in flower shape and color and bloom times. So to grow them well you have to stick to the specific type you have chosen, but most of them have the same requirements.
Clematis plants are known as plants that love their feet in the shade and their faces in the sun. This means that the soil should be kept cool even if the vines are in sunny locations. So you can plant some ground cover around the clematis. Additionally, a 2-inch layer of mulch can keep the roots cool and moist.
And when it comes to the support system, they can be supported with various trellises, fences or even thorns for some larger species. Clematis can also be grown in containers, but they look better when combined with a trellis. Here are some ideas that might inspire you to incorporate this eye-catching plant into your outdoor space too.
Outdoor decoration ideas with clematis
Clematis are easy to care for, except when it comes to watering. They should be watered about an inch weekly and deeper during dry periods. You should also replenish the mulch every spring.
They come in a variety of colors so you can choose the ones that look best in your environment. These flowering plants can also look great in pots, making them the perfect decor for your patio, porch, balcony, etc.

Abstract Occurrences of breeding bird species in 54 urban parks were investigated in the city of Oulu in northern Finland. Park area, human activity, habitat, and landscape structure within a 9-ha square surrounding the study park were related to the bird species richness and occurrence of individual bird species. A total of 22 species was observed. The area of the park explained 39% of the variance of species richness. Seven species (wheatear [Oenanthe oenanthe], common rosefinch [Carpodacus erythrinus], garden warbler [Sylvia borin], lesser whitethroat [Sylvia curruca], linnet [Acanthis cannabina], redpoll [Carduelis flammea], and yellowhammer [Emberiza citrinella]) were not detected in parks of 〉0.75 ha. Species with lower area demands occurred closer to the town center than species with greater area requirements. Ground-nesting species were poor colonizers of urban parks, whereas high numbers of nest boxes in urban parks attracted many cavity-nesting species. The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) and the magpie (Pica pica) bred more often in unmanaged than in managed parks, probably because of the greater vegetation cover in unmanaged parks. Park structure variables were entered into models for 7 of the 12 most common bird species, whereas broad scale variables were entered into models for 6 of the 12 species. The number of adjacent buildings had a negative affect on three bird species (the willow warbler, hooded crow [Corvus corone cornix], and spotted flycatcher [Muscicapa striata]). The occurrence of breeding species in urban parks depends on the size of the park, park structure, and landscape structure outside the park.

360º urban landscapes
By The Editor
Posted: Tuesday, 21st July 2020 4:47 pm
Hi, I'm Philip in Twickenham.
360º urban landscapes allows you to transform your outside space. Gardens can offer another 'room' to your home.
Fencing, decking, turf, patios, boarders and artificial grass are just a few ways to improve your garden.
From the initial consultation, I can advise and guide you and work to your vision to create a garden you are proud of.


or call your travel agent
From hidden gems to the must-see sights, you decide which activities you want to experience and what delights you want to indulge in as part of your very own Celtic story.
Located in Co. Waterford, these beautiful gardens are essentially two different gardens and are arranged over seven acres. Think of yew tree avenues, flowering magnolias, and rhododendrons in the spring to flowering shrubs later in the year. These gardens inspire romance. The historic castle is not open to the public.


yler and Bethany have 240 feet of fencing with which to build a garden. Tyler wants the garden to be in the shape of a square, while Bethany wants it to be rectangular with a length of 50 feet and a width of 70 feet. Which design would give the maximum area for the garden? Explain. Bethany’s design would give the larger garden because the area would be 3,500 ft2. Tyler’s design would give the larger garden because the area would be 3,600 ft2. Bethany’s and Tyler’s designs would give a garden with the same area. Bethany’s and Tyler’s designs are not possible with the given amount of fencing.
To get which design would have maximum area we need to evaluate the area for Tyler's design. Given that the design is square, let the length= xft, width=(120-x) thus: area will be: P(x)=x(120-x) P(x)=120x-x² For maximum area P'(x)=0 P'(x)=120-2x=0 thus x=60 ft thus for maximum area x=60 ft thus the area will be: Area=60×60=3600 ft² Thus we conclude that Tyler's design is the largest. Thus: the answer is: Tyler’s design would give the larger garden because the area would be 3,600 ft2.

This is a timeline slideshow of the Greening The Desert Project, Jordan, a labor of love that began in 2009 and is now in its tenth year. The site, as you’ll see, was carved from barren rock and has been transformed. It began with contour swales and a lot of organic matter. Small mulch pits were set in holes next to the spiky pioneer trees that would help to rejuvenate the soil, and gravity-fed irrigation hoses were run to each pit and tree. Next, permanent buildings were built for energy-efficiency, with straw bale walls on the sun and western sides, to insulate them from the heat, and mudbrick walls constructed on the shade and eastern sides to bank the cool air.
Within a couple of years, the pioneer trees were doing well, and hardy productive trees and more diverse support species started being introduced. Reed beds were installed to filter the greywater for use in the food forest, and worm farms were built from old bathtubs to add fertility. Large mulch pits were dug throughout the site and filled with the chopped up, thorny pioneer plants that helped to reinvigorate the soil. Then came wicking beds, the most water-efficient gardens yet. They built from old bulk liquid containers. With the worms in full flow and compost around, liquid fertilizer production—compost teas—got underway.
Contour sunken bed gardens were introduced, as well as more productive fruit trees. Shade houses were built over the garden builds to mitigate the intense sun and evaporation. The chicken tractor on steroids started its reign as fertility king on site, producing one cubic meter of compost a week. Ten years in and the place looks like an oasis against its surroundings. We’ve been playing with rocket stoves, more wicking beds, more buildings, and more production, as well as volunteers and students from around the world.
And, there are a lot of good years to come still…

Forest health and wildfire mitigation work on Monarch Pass is moving along successfully with 115 of 185 acres of treatment area completed. The cut-to-length steep slope equipment being used for the first time in Colorado is proving safe, effective and efficient. The specialized equipment is designed to remove trees on steep slopes with technical terrain that has previously made thinning impossible on the pass. Crews are working hard to complete the project before the deep snow flies, most likely by early November. Learn more about the project.
We would like to share a positive example of critical watershed restoration work being done in the Arkansas River Basin. In this difficult time, we remember that we must tread lightly, caring for each other and the land that sustains us.
Trout Unlimited's Jason Willis designed and implemented restoration of the Monarch Pass Gravel Pit, a former gravel mine adjacent to Monarch Mountain's Gunbarrel ski run. The abandoned pit was in poor condition, stripped of vegetation. Situated on a steep hillslope, eroded soils from the site washed into the headwaters of the South Arkansas River. As Jason said, the site was a "barren landscape that provided an open pathway for highly mobile soils to cross Hwy. 50 and flow into the headwaters of the South Arkansas River."
Jason partnered with ARWC through the Monarch Pass Forest & Watershed Health Project to design and implement this important work. We will continue to collaborate with our partners to make more of these projects a reality. Each effort makes a measurable improvement to the health of the entire watershed.

x Cupressocyparis leylandii hedging. Leylandii hedge plants, or x Cupressocyparis leylandii to use the Latin name, are the fastest growing of all hedging plants and are popular for their evergreen sprays of fragrant green foliage.
Leylandii need to be planted well, fed well and watered well to get them to grow and establish properly. Like all plants, they will also grow quicker in full sun. Windy conditions will slow the growth down but they will take the wind well as long as they are staked for the first year.
Beside above, what is the fastest growing bush for privacy? Almost as popular as the laurel, leylandii is a fast growing species that, with a little maintenance, will soon give you a dense protective screen to lend your garden the privacy you’re seeking. One of the fastest growing hedge plants, leylandii can grow up to 90cm in a year – so have those pruning shears at the ready!
Besides, what are the fastest growing conifers?
Description. Leylandii is a conifer that is the fastest –growing, evergreen, hedging plant and will create a hedge quickly.
Is there a legal height for leylandii hedge?
Dont grow a Leylandii hedge to a height that will affect the reasonable enjoyment of their property. This includes cutting out light or blocking a cherished view. Remember that keeping a hedge below 2-3 metres means it is much easier to trim.
How do you secretly kill leylandii?
Using Caustic Soda. The way to do this is to leave a stump by cutting the trunk and then killing the stump by digging around the roots and slinging caustic soda into that part. Remove loose limbs from the plant before falling it.
Will leylandii grow back after cutting?
It is not wise to cut Leylandii hedge back beyond the green growth, they do not regrow and the cut area stays brown and unattractive. The height of the hedge could be reduced by about a third to approximately 2 metres, a manageable height.
Do leylandii have deep roots?
Its roots, for example, do not go deep. “Leylandii roots can cause trouble in drains or block gutters if they are too close to buildings, but they are not as bad as a normal tree because their roots are relatively shallow,” says Roy McClure, a surveyor based in Richmond, Surrey.
Why is my leylandii hedge turning brown?
When Leylandii are too dry or too wet, their needles start to turn yellow and then brown. This starts at the base of the plant, near the trunk and works its way upwards and outwards. The symptoms of drought are normally caused by lack of water but can also be caused by too much water (waterlogging).
How do you reduce the height of a leylandii hedge?
With Leylandii, you can reduce the height but be careful about trimming the sides of the hedge or Leylandii trees. Always leave the green foliage on the sides of the hedge as Leylandii will not shoot back from the older, brown wood (see below).
How tall will a leylandii grow?
The Leyland cypress, Cupressus × leylandii, often referred to simply as leylandii, is a fast-growing coniferous evergreen tree much used in horticulture, primarily for hedges and screens. Even on sites of relatively poor culture, plants have been known to grow to heights of 15 metres (49 ft) in 16 years.
Will my brown conifer grow back?
Most conifers will not regrow from old wood if you prune into this. However it is possible to trim the green foliage in the same way you would a hedge leaving a mossy green finish, just make sure you don’t prune into the brown dead wood. Conifers may be pruned from spring to late summer.
How quickly does a conifer grow?
Their growth rate is generally divided into three categories. Slow-growing conifers grow less then 12 inches per year. A medium or moderate growth rate is between 1 and 2 feet per year. Fast-growing conifers grow at least 2 feet per year.
How tall does a conifer grow?
“Intermediate size” refers to conifers that grow 6 to 12 inches per year, with most being 6 to 15 feet tall. Large conifers grow more than 12 inches per year, the majority reaching 15 feet tall or greater.
How far apart do you plant conifers?
Most conifers should be spaced between 60cm and 100cm apart. Hedges that have plants 60cm apart will grow into space in between much faster but you can achieve a very effective hedge no matter the distance so long as it falls into that frame.
How do you speed up tree growth?
Spread a layer of organic mulch 3 to 4 inches deep around the planted tree and keep the mulched area free of grass and weeds that compete with the tree for soil nutrients and water. Leave a gap between the mulch and the tree trunk so mulch is not sitting directly against the tree.
Is Elm an evergreen?
Evergreens are plants that maintain their leaves in all seasons and include trees such as elm, pine, and cedar. Deciduous trees lose their leaves seasonally and include trees such as mango and maple. Conifers include pine and elm.
What is the best evergreen tree for privacy?
Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae: If you’re looking to block second-story views, Thuja Green Giant is one of the best tall trees for privacy. This evergreen tree grows 3-5 feet per year.


Hello! I hope you all had a chance to visit my curb appeal reveal yesterday! It was a fun challenge and a great motivator to get my outside spaces looking good. Today, I'm excited to be a part of a garden tour blog hop today hosted by Tara from Lehman Lane. I was particularly looking forward to this hop because I don't often show you any aspects of my home except for the indoor decor and occasional outdoor decor. Today, I am going to show you our landscaping, flowers, and container vegetable garden. In keeping with being real with you, confession time…. the majority of the landscaping was installed several years ago by a local company. My husband and I are the first to admit when something is out of our realm of expertise and landscaping was definitely one of those things. With the help of the basic layout, design plan and plantings, we do add our own spin on the yard each year which is much more in our tool bag!
To get you started on this tour, I am going right to the front of the house.
This is our front porch which recently received a refresh. To see all the details on this makeover, you can visit this post.
You can see that I have several planters on the porch and a window box to the left of the front door. For these, I have used a mix of flowers and trailing vines. Each year, I choose a color scheme that goes with the color of the house, front door, and existing landscape. This year, I went with orange, yellow, and white.
The flowers I used were Lantana, Dahlinova, Marigolds, Zinnias, and Petunias. Then for trailing accents to each, I added Sweet Potato Vines, Superbells, and Bacopa. The Superbells are in a beautiful apricot color and the Bacopa have a tiny white flower which is in constant bloom. Both are great planted in the front of the boxes or pots so they can grow over the sides.
In facing the front of the house, on the left, we have a River Birch tree and Knock-Out Roses. I love the combination of the texture of the peeling bark and the pink blooms on the roses.
Under the bay window and flanking the sidewalk is Boxwood and several kinds of grasses. The mix of greens adds interest to the landscaping instead of it being all one solid color.
To the right of the front door, is our Japanese Maple. It may be the only thing that remained when we redid the beds. Accompanying that are Goldmound bushes which get a pretty pink color flower in the summer.
In front of the sidewalk, in its own bed is a Maple Tree, Boxwoods, Globe Blue Spruce, and Grasses. Several boulders were added to the landscaping as well to give it additional interest.
Moving along to the side of the house is a Jane Magnolia along with several Hydrangeas. Unfortunately, you are not getting to see them in full bloom. 🙁
Next stop on our outdoor tour is the back yard. Moving through the gate, you can see our Magnolia tree, another Hydrangea, and several plantings of Lavender. I requested the Lavender because while sitting on the screened-in porch, you can smell the beautiful scent.
Again, my Magnolia gets these big huge beautiful blooms, but it's not quite the right time of year yet.
I need to find out about these brown leaves. Anyone know why my tree might be shedding leaves?
As you round the corner, we have several fast growing Evergreens to act as a privacy fence shielding the neighbors driveway.
Ok. We are now officially in the back yard. This is where we have our patio and pergola.
I recently added a Peony to our yard and I already got one beautiful bloom. I am hoping to add several more because I just cannot resist the cut flowers.
To the right of the patio is a bed which has more Knock-Out Roses, Evergreens and another flowering bush (not sure its name?).
So now is our container vegetable garden. We have been planting in pots for several years and for us, it is working out much better than having an in- ground garden. I love that it's contained, easy to water and pick the weeds. Even better, the kids are able to help us maintain it.
In our first pot, is a Cucumber plant.
Next, we have Tomato plants.
Our third pot is our herbs such as Basil, Cilantro, Rosemary, and Parsley.
In the last pot, is our Peppers. We planted a Red Pepper and a Jalapeno Pepper plant.
Phew! There you've got it!
Thanks for sticking in there! Here is one last look at the front and back.

An annual spring flower garden run by a wholesale flower bulb supplier is offering views of beautiful blooms in Bridgeport.
Tim Schipper, co-owner of Colorblends Wholesale Flower bulbs, says his grandfather used to farm flower bulbs in the Netherlands and then after World War II, his father emigrated to the United States and opened up their business.
Colorblends House and Spring Garden are located on the west side of Bridgeport.
Schipper says he first started selling flower bulbs door to door to greenhouse growers, and then eventually went into more of the landscape end of the business.
"The main reason was to create a space where it’s a living catalog so people can come in the springtime and see exactly what they look like," he says.
Schipper says the second reason was to create a test garden where workers add new varieties of flowers from the Netherlands that the company likes to bring into the United States to test them for climate stability for a few years.
"We tend to have a lot of people come up with families, and they come and take pictures with the tulips and the house in the background - so it’s a nice little occasion for the family to stroll through the garden," Schipper says.
Schipper says it’s kind of a part of a visit if you come to Bridgeport. He says when people see the spring flowers everybody gets a little uplifted.
The Colorblends Garden
is open from April 2 until May 16. You may want to visit a few times as the garden evolves through the season.

White stonecrop is an evergreen plant native to Eurasia and North Africa, where it can be found growing in rocky hillsides and crevices. It has since become naturalized in many other regions around the world and makes an attractive houseplant or ground cover in the right conditions.
As with most succulents, sedum album thrives when grown in well-drained soil that mimics its natural environment as closely as possible.
If you’re looking to add some color to your garden, and also happen to have limited space, there are few plants better suited than sedum album (also known as white stonecrop). These low-growing, succulent plants thrive in small spaces, but they do need good drainage and prefer full sun over shade.
Origin and distribution
Sedum album is a low-growing, spreading perennial that originates from Europe and Western Asia. Also known as white stonecrop, it is valued for its unique appearance and ease of care. It is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9 and prefers to grow in well-drained soil containing lots of organic matter.
Although sedum is relatively easy to maintain, it requires well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade but will not tolerate waterlogged soils.
This herbaceous perennial spreads by runners and forms clump up to two feet wide. The foliage consists of succulent leaves that are grayish-green on top and silver underneath. In late summer, plants produce clusters of small pink flowers above their rosettes of leaves.
Sedum album propagation
Propagate Sedum album via division or seed. In either case, you can use a trowel, spade, or cultivator to dig around in a clump of sedum and separate out individual plants. Ideally, do so when temperatures are between 55 degrees F – 75 degrees F and light is plentiful. If you’re sowing seeds, plant them 1/8 deep in loose soil with good drainage. Keep them evenly moist until they germinate, which should take 2-3 weeks.
Once they have sprouted, thin to 6 inches apart.
Once your sedum has grown into a nice thick mat, usually after 3 years, it’s time to transplant it into its permanent home.
Transplanting should be done during spring or fall when daytime temperatures are above 60 degrees F and nighttime temps don’t dip below 50 degrees F. Dig up your sedum by hand or with a shovel. You can divide it into smaller pieces at this point if you want more plants from each original root ball.
Plant each piece of sedum at least 8 inches deep and 18 inches apart from other plants to allow for adequate air circulation and sunlight penetration. Water thoroughly once transplanted but then let dry out before watering again as too much water will cause root rot.
Sedum album care information
Sedum albums will grow in many different types of soil, but they prefer a good quality well-drained sandy loam. They do not need to be fertilized, but if they are fertilized with a slow-release fertilizer once during early spring and again in mid-summer they will flourish.
If fertilizer is used, it should only be applied to promote blooming and prevent overfeeding. Sedum requires no pruning other than occasionally removing old flower stalks so more blooms can develop on new growth.
Sedum album prefers full sun to partial shade. White stonecrop grows well in dappled or full sunlight. Although it prefers full sun and will grow larger, it will tolerate partial shade if necessary.
Keep in mind that less light means fewer flowers and smaller leaves. Shade tolerance is greatest when plants are young, so as they mature they will be less tolerant of shade and more tolerant of sun.
It is a good idea to use a good mix for indoor plants. If you are buying one, be sure it has drainage holes to allow excess water to drain out and keep your plant from drowning. If you want to make your own mix, use equal parts of potting soil, vermiculite or perlite, and coarse sand.
This will help with drainage and aeration as well as provide nutrients. Be sure to check with your local garden center on what they recommend for their area as far as mixes go.
Water newly-purchased sedums once a week; then reduce watering to every two weeks after that. Giving your sedums too much water can cause root rot, so be careful not to overwater them; water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain away from the plant, then wait for a few days before watering again.
Reduce frequency of watering in winter, when plants will survive on less frequent waterings. The best way to tell if you’re giving your sedum enough water is by checking its leaves: if they’re starting to turn yellow or brown, it’s time to increase watering.
Sedum album responds well to fertilizer in spring. Apply a general-purpose fertilizer at a rate of 1 pound per 100 square feet. A slow-release, organic fertilizer is best. While fertilizing, keep in mind that it’s better to apply too little than too much.
The plant will compensate by using stored nutrients over time if it isn’t getting enough nutrients immediately.
Fertilize once every three weeks during the spring and summer months. In fall and winter, cut back on feeding so that new growth doesn’t appear until early spring.
The ideal temperature range for Sedum album is 55 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It will survive temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 50s, but below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you’ll want to protect your sedum. If your climate drops below freezing on a regular basis, you may need to either move your plant indoors or wait until spring to plant it outdoors.
The humidity requirements for stonecrop sedum are 40%-80% when it’s actively growing and 20%-40% when it’s resting. Humidity tends to be one of those things that’s easier to control than you might think.
Most people who have moisture problems with stonecrop sedum are making a few simple mistakes.
First, they tend to over-water their plants. Second, they don’t let their soil dry out between waterings. Third, they don’t use a container with adequate drainage holes in it.
Fourth, they place their plant in an area where it doesn’t get good air circulation. In other words: make sure your plant isn’t sitting in its own water or sitting in stagnant air.
It is easiest to prune Sedum album once they have been in place for a year or two. The easiest time to prune them is before they bloom. White stonecrop grows slowly but only needs pruning every few years, though you should never cut more than one-third of a plant at one time.
In spring, you can simply pull up and throw away dead stems or thin out plants that are too thick and full. However, if you want to make more drastic changes, wait until after flowering has finished.
Deadhead spent blooms by cutting back stems just above a set of leaves. You can also remove whole branches by snapping them off near their base; new growth will sprout from below where they were attached.
When to repot
If a plant is allowed to remain in its container for too long, it may become pot-bound and not as able to absorb nutrients from its soil. Additionally, if plants are kept in a small container for too long, they can become top-heavy and fall over.
To avoid these issues, repot your stonecrop when you notice new growth slowing down or when roots begin growing out of drainage holes. For best results, place sedum in a larger container that has plenty of room for new growth.
Use a good quality potting mix that drains well and contains high levels of organic material. The ideal time to repot sedum is during late spring or early summer when temperatures are warm but nights aren’t yet hot enough to cause damage to tender young roots.
Sedum album has a moderately long dormancy, during which it is very important to keep it dry. If you live in an area that gets very cold in winter and still have your plant outside, you may want to bring it inside. Put your sedum on a counter or table and wait for the new growth of spring before repotting it in fresh soil.
During its dormant period, water only when you see signs of shriveling. Be sure not to over-water while it’s dormant as overwatering can cause root rot. Water only when the top inch or so of soil is dry; otherwise don’t water at all until new growth appears in spring.
During dormancy, the white stonecrop will drop its leaves and won’t need any fertilizer either.
Sedum album flower & fragrance
Sedum album produces tiny, star-shaped white flowers in mid-summer, and releases a fragrance like violets when they bloom. The leaves are dull green and oval-shaped.
They grow in clusters at each of its horizontal branches to give it an overall oval shape. In late summer or early fall, tiny pinkish-white berries appear on white stonecrop vines. Each vine will have berries all along its branches making them easy to spot against their dark green leaves.
Sedum album is a slow-growing plant, and while it can be used in perennial beds or ground cover, sedums are usually grown in rock gardens. These care tips will help you keep your white stonecrop healthy and growing.
Plants in the Sedum genus are generally considered to be safe to use around dogs and cats. Keep your pets away from these plants when they’re young, as they can cause mild digestive issues if ingested by them.
Ingestion of larger amounts of any part of a plant in the Sedum genus could cause organ failure, so keep your pets away from larger plants and make sure they are not consuming anything except water while they are being treated with sedums.
USDA hardiness zones
Sedum album thrives best in USDA hardiness zones 3-9. In colder climates, it can be grown as an annual. It is important to note that sedum album is not frost tolerant and should be covered with a blanket or burlap when temperatures drop below freezing.
Pests and diseases
In addition to damaging leaves and stems, these bugs are a nuisance because they secrete plant fluids or excrete from their bodies onto leaves or stems that give off an unpleasant odor when it rains. The best way to avoid problems with pests is to keep white stonecrop healthy and growing vigorously.
If you notice any signs of infestation, spray plants with insecticidal soap in the early morning or late evening while beneficial insects are active; repeat every seven days until the problem has been resolved.
Sedum album is an easy-to-grow perennial with few serious problems. It’s a great ground cover that makes a wonderful addition to any sunny garden bed or container.
It thrives in full sun and looks fantastic in pots. In colder climates, it can be grown indoors during winter and even used as a houseplant. It’s one of my favorite low-maintenance plants!

I often refer to my garden as a potager (pot a ghay) instead of a vegetable or kitchen garden. Some think I’m being pretentious but that’s not me, I just like being precise with language and there are differences in a traditional American vegetable garden and a French style potager.
In America, we tend to plow up a chunk of land and plant in rows. It is often sited far from the house. A potager is in raised beds and those beds are often in geometric shapes that form an overall pattern or parterre.
The other main difference between a vegetable garden and a potager is that potager include fruit trees, herbs, and flowers. A potager is an ornamental as well as a utilitarian garden and, generally speaking, you grow and harvest all year round.
In my garden, zone 8b, the main garden season is Fall/Winter which goes into Spring. Because we stay so hot for so long, the only time I can grow cabbage, collards, lettuce, broccoli, peas is the Fall and I can keep them alive all winter long, then plant again in early spring.
My garden has permanent trees and shrubs: boxwood, ivy, and fruit. I also have herbs like, mint, rosemary, bay, oregano, and chives. Flowers are everywhere in my garden. Fall through to Spring is snapdragon, mum, and pansy season with Zinnias, Cosmos, and Marigolds holding the spotlight all summer.
Though a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the birds, bees, and butterflies, the best thing about having a potager is the harvest. Planning your meals around what is in season is indescribable. You haven’t truly tasted peas until you harvest from your garden and home-grown cabbage? The texture is more like butterhead lettuce, and the flavor is mild and smooth.
Getting a garden established has been a chore; our soil is poor, and we faltered for two years before building raised beds and installing irrigation. We still have issues with bugs and nutrient deficiencies but for the most part the labor we expend gives us threefold reward.
Do you garden vegetables? Have a potager? Thinking about starting your own garden?

Daisy (Bellis perennis) is an herbaceous perennial from the Asteraceae or Compositae family. It is also known as lawn daisy, English daisy, common daisy, bone flower, bruisewort and woundwort. A beautiful low growing resilient little plant, it is commonly found in meadows and lawns of Europe but has also become naturalised in some areas of America, Australia and New Zealand. It is often treated as a weed in lawns in the British Isles. The flowers are attractive and encourage insect pollinators.
|Daisy (Bellis perennis)|
Sow dried seed in spring or autumn. Ripe fresh seed is available in June and can be sown immediately. Broadcast the seed in meadows or grassy areas. Alternatively, sow in seed trays. Seeds germinate from 2-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough, they can be potted on and planted out in their final position in late summer. Plants grow to around 15 cm in height.
Propagate plants by division. This can be carried out during most times of the year although they do best during the spring and summer when they get a chance to establish.
This plant likes most well drained rich moist soils in a sunny or semi-shaded position. A good ground cover plant, it has a lengthy flowering season under the right conditions. It makes a great addition to cottage gardens or grassland areas managed for wild flowers and wildlife. Daisies grow well in lawns and come back up even after regular mowing mainly because of the compact leaves that sit flat and very close to the ground.
There are a lot of cultivars used for ornamental bedding plants available.
The flowers, leaves and roots have been used in homeopathy and as a herbal remedy for a variety of ailments. In particular it was very popular as a cure for wounds but also liver disorders, mouth ulcers and catarrh, amongst other things. In addition it can also be made into an insect repellent. Flowers can be used dried as decoration. Children (and adults) make daisy chains with them!
Raw edible parts
The flower buds, petals and leaves are edible raw and can be made into a tea. They are great for salads. The open flowers are very decorative but can be slightly bitter or acrid. Flower buds can be pickled and used instead of capers. The leaves (think lamb's lettuce) have an astringent or sour flavour.
Daisies have been used (cooked) in soups and as a pot herb, the flower buds used as a sandwich filler. The odd flower can sometimes be found at this time of year (January) but mostly just the leaves. The flowers close up at night and open during the daylight.


One of the backbone plants in the perennial garden is the mid to late summer tall Phlox paniculata or tall garden Phlox. One of the newest varieties to get to your local garden centre is ‘Goldmine’. Aptly named because it will bring a rush of visitors to your garden with its bright magenta purple flowers held firmly above green and gold variegated leaves. Two older variegated forms, ‘Harlequin’ with its magenta blooms and cream yellow variegated leaves should be easily available while ‘Becky Towe’ with rose pink flowers over yellow and green leaves is equally desirable. The older variegated ‘Norah Leigh’ with its green and cream splashed leaves is an excellent foliage plant but those pale pink blooms wash out against the dramatic foliage.
If you are looking for a shorter phlox, you might want to search out ‘Little Laura’. The stunning rich violet purple blooms with white eyes are wonderful accents to any brighter colour in your perennial garden. At twenty-four inches tall, this plant will also serve as the focal centerpiece in any large perennial container. Keeping with our female names and short plants, let me suggest ‘Juliet’ for your new plant list. Again, she’s twenty-four inches tall with compact growth but with the softest pink flowers you can imagine. With some mildew resistance built into the breeding, this is an excellent mid-summer bloomer for both garden and large container. And speaking of mildew resistant phlox, let me suggest you look for these three mildew-resistant stunning ladies of the midnight garden: ‘Miss Pepper’ is a soft-pink with rose eye growing to three feet tall while ‘Miss Elie’ is taller at forty inches and sports soft pink blossoms with a deep rose eye. Rounding out the misses is ‘Miss Kelly’ and her soft lilac blooms are edged in dainty white.
Install these plants in the full sun in well-drained soils. They will take some late afternoon shade but you’ll get better disease control if they receive full early morning sun in a well-ventilated location to dry the leaves off early in the morning. Feed early in the fall with a shovel of compost.

What plans do CreateTO have to have inclusive and transparent community consultations with local stakeholders?
Is the newly proposed cycle track on the Esplanade and Mill Street still happening?
Answer from CreateTO: Optimizing connectivity and extending the cycling and pedestrian path along the Esplanade through the First Parliament site are two key Planning Strategies in the Master Plan. City staff are working with Metrolinx on maintaining separate bikeway and pedestrian connectivity through Parliament Square Park and the First Parliament Site. Details are still in development. This has benefits for Metrolinx in that providing a cycling bypass to their construction further north allows for continued connectivity through their construction project.
The downtown core is in need of more green space. Is a public park being considered as part of the Master Plan?
Answer from CreateTO: Yes. One of the Guiding Principles recognizes that the First Parliament is a valuable public asset and as such, should be developed to meet the growing needs of the population. A public park is in keeping with that Principle.


Raised Garden boxes are great for growing vegies, flowers, trees, ornamental grasses, shrubs, just about anything that can grow! There are many benefits to adding garden boxes to your diy landscape project.
Typically people think that garden boxes are for well, gardens. But a well-constructed garden box is very versatile and can add beauty, dimension and interest in any landscape or hardscape area, even your park strip!
Raised garden boxes help keep pathway weeds from your garden soil, reduce soil compaction, provide good drainage, and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails. The sides of the beds keep your valuable garden soil from eroding or washing away during heavy rains. In many regions, gardeners are able to plant earlier in the season because the soil is warmer and better drained when it is above ground level.
Garden boxes are also ideal for square foot gardening. You can create a very productive high yield vegetable garden in a small space. This enables you to easily adapt to the amount of space you have. If you have areas in your yard that are sunny all day, you could put a box there for vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, onions and other sun loving plants. If you have a fairly shady spot, you could add in a box for cooler plants like lettuce, peas, broccoli, basil, etc. By combining the versatility of garden boxes and the high density capability, you can extend the growing season if you have multiple garden boxes in the various eco. You could grow cooler vegetables early in the season in the sun and then plant them in the shade for continual enjoyment through the summer, then again in the sun for fall.
Not only are garden boxes functional, they are also interesting and beautiful, especially if you add a variety of colors and types of plants. Planting Zinnias and other bright colored flowers in with your vegetables keeps your boxes lively and can offer some sun protection to sensitive plants. Klik DIY garden boxes come in a variety of sizes and materials to suit your diy project.
We offer pre-built boxes in redwood, steel, and composite in standard sizes of four feet wide by eight, ten or twelve feet long and twelve inches high. We can also custom build them to any size that you desire. If you would prefer, we also offer Belgard stone for a beautiful do it yourself garden box that you can construct to your desired size, color and style.


When we move we take the contents of our homes with us, but we leave the structure of the house behind. The same thing can be true for our landscapes! Although we must leave the landscape behind, you can take the plants with you.
Many times, people are very attached to the plants in their gardens and they want to take certain plants with them when they move. There may be favorite specimen trees you planted as small saplings and watched grow over the years, perennials that were grown from plants given to you by friends and family, or sentimental shrubs that were planted in honor of deceased loved ones that you can’t bear to leave behind. It may not be economically feasible to take ALL the plants with you, but with good planning and execution, you can take the plants that mean the most with you to your new home.
Factor #1: Size of the Plant There are many factors to consider when deciding if you can take a plant with you. The first is size, because the bigger the plant, the more expensive it will be to move. What is the economic threshold for taking it with you versus planting a new one? Large trees can be moved, but will it be worth it?
Perennial gardens can be divided and moved with relative ease and it can be an effective way to take small parts of large gardens with to establish new gardens without breaking the bank. The transplant is only the initial cost and the post-transplant care to re-establish the plants in their new home must be considered in the overall cost.
Factor #2: Species The second factor to consider is species. Will the species survive transplanting well? Some species are easily transplanted while others simply won’t tolerate a move. Some require extensive preparation and post-transplant care, but can still survive.
Factor #3: Transplant Season
The third thing to consider is the season. When are you moving? When is the best season to transplant the species you want to take with you? Perhaps it may coincide that your move occurs in the optimal season to transplant the plants you want to take with, but it’s also possible that it won’t. This will require extra planning to prepare the plant for less than optimal timing on the move. February and March are two optimal months for transplanting a large variety of species and preparation for moves made in these months begins in August of the preceding year. Plan ahead to use the seasons prior to the move optimally.
Factor #4: Work With a Professional The most important part of planning a transplant process for your plants is working with a knowledgeable arborist or horticulturalist that can create a winning plan and then see it into action. For a successful transplant operation the professional you are working with should have intimate knowledge of all the factors involved. True professionals will understand and be able to explain what root pruning, root stimulation, drum lacing and root establishment entail.
Let us know if you are interested in transplanting and we can start creating a plan for your plants now!

THE MADRONE TREE
"It sounds better than Smith-Douglas Fir, Smith-Manzanita, Smith-Oak and certainly Smith-Poison Oak. These were the predominant trees and shrubs on the property when we began," Stuart Smith explains. "We had so much physically and emotionally invested in the development of the vineyard and the winery that we selfishly wanted our name on it. Smith is not exactly a grand Mediterranean wine name, and certainly we couldn't call it just "Smith Winery." Somehow Smith-Madrone had a nice ring to it..." He continued that the personality of the madrone figures into this as well: "The madrone tree never stands out alone in the forest; it's always clustered for shade and protection with others." Arbutus menziesii Pursh. can be a stately evergreen tree as large as 100 feet or low and shrubby stretching only as high as 40 feet. The madrone thrives in forests, and is easily recognizable because of its red-brown trunks, red branches and shiny evergreen foliage. In spring, the large clusters of flowers resemble lilies of the valley; brilliant orange-red berry-like fruit ripens late in fall and is not edible. The bark of old trees is scaly; on young trees the smooth red branches flake off in thin irregular pieces similar to sycamores. The exfoliated bark reveals a suede-smooth, highly polished trunk in bright shades of red, brown and green. The trunks often lean and twist back onto themselves. Madrones are long-lived; a tree with a 16-inch diameter could be 85 years old. The madrone is native to the coastal region of the west coast of North America, running from southern British Columbia and Washington to southern California. A member of the Ericaceae or heath (or heather) family, the madrone tree is distantly related to the huckleberry, blueberry, cranberry, manzanita, azalea and rhododendron. The family ericaceae contains nearly 70 genera, about 20 of which are found in the United States, and ten of which are trees. Madrone trees are also called madrona, Pacific madrona, laurelwood and Oregon laurel.

We offer several different options of ornamental fencing
that can greatly enhance the appearance of any property. Ornamental fences are known for their aesthetic appeal and can add a touch of elegance to any home or commercial space. Many customers find themselves drawn to ornamental fences because they are looking to improve the overall curb appeal of their property. These fences can instantly transform a plain and mundane yard into a visually stunning space, which can be particularly appealing for those looking to sell their property or simply wanting to create a more welcoming and attractive environment.
Additionally, customers may be interested in ornamental fences due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. Ornamental fences are typically made from high-quality materials, such as aluminum or galvanized steel, which are known for their strength and longevity. Unlike other types of fences that may require regular staining or painting, ornamental fences generally only require occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. This makes them a convenient choice for individuals who want a fence that looks great and requires minimal effort to maintain.

WALNUT LANE PARK NOW OPEN
The Township purchased in late 2013 land for its second community park, located at the former 67 acre White Property. Walnut Lane Park is located off of Route 401 at the intersection of Walnut Lane – close to the intersection of Routes 401 and 113. Get directions here.
Phase I has been completed and the track and walking trails are now open to the public.
The track loop is .4 miles


Often, when new properties are first built, little thought – and even less money – goes into the surfacing products used for driveways. Most will consist of basic black tarmac with a simple border or the cheapest block paving driveways available.
The parking space provided on driveways will often be the bare minimum to satisfy planning regulations and takes little account of the needs of two and three car families, which are the norm today.
As a home owner you have an ideal opportunity to improve the frontage of your property by using more attractive materials in the design of a new driveway. You can add shape and style to what may have been a purely functional straight driveway by adding curves to complement and integrate with your front garden.
You may require additional car parking spaces or a turning area and in planning your new driveway you should consider both the practical and aesthetic aspects.


Summer is over and it is about time to take advantage of the cool, comfortable fall weather to prepare your lawn for winter. Our Sioux Falls garbage company gives you some great fall lawn care tips:
Assessment. Get a soil test now to give you time to deal with pH difficulties and nutrient deficiencies well before spring starts.
Prep Your Mower. If you didn’t bring your mower in for service this spring, now is the time. The blades need to be sharpened at least once a year in order to stay in good shape. In case you raised your mowing height for the summer, adjust the mowing height back to its normal mowing height when fall rolls around. 2 inches tall is ideal for most grasses. A short lawn in the fall helps the grass from getting damaged under ice and snow.
Aerate. An aerator pulls plugs of soil from the lawn and reduces thatch, improves drainage, and loosens soil to let oxygen penetrate it.
Leave the Leaves. If you have an abundance of fallen leaves, you can remove them with a rake and then compost them. However, by using a mulching mower you can shred some of the leaves and turn them into natural top dressing for the soil. The natural organic matter will provide your lawn with nutrients and brings great opportunity for natural recycling. Top dressing means a thin layer of soil or compost that is put on your lawn to provide it with nutrients and lessen the need for fertilizer. The soil needs to be aerated before applying the top dressing, and once the dressing is applied you need to rake it into the lawn for even distribution.
Thirsty? A lawn should be watered whenever it needs to. If it is dry – it needs water; if it is wet – it doesn’t need water. If you have had a dry summer that stretches into fall, you should water it twice a week. Make sure to water it long enough to soak several inches deep in the soil. To avoid fungal problems you should avoid watering your lawn in the evening. It can be smart to let your lawn go dormant during a drought. Sure, it will turn brown, but once the rain falls again it will regain its beautiful color and start growing again. Many types of grass, such as buffalograss, are very drought resistant and will stay green longer without water.
Excess Thatch. Thatch is a layer of dead materials mixed with living plant parts. It can lead to insect problems and diseases and can develop through over fertilization or excess watering. Remove it by ripping out debris and cutting through the thatch layers. Use a power rake or vertical mowers and use a hand rake to sweep the ripped out thatch from the lawn.
Novak Sanitary will pick up your yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, etc.). Yard waste is only accepted as a separate item at the landfill. We collect yard waste on the same day as your regular service, although separate from household garbage and recyclables.


CA's Proposed Design Plan for Symphony Woods PARK
The proposed concept plan begins the evolution of Symphony Woods into Symphony Woods Park. The goal for this plan is to develop the site into an attractive setting for public recreation and community events while protecting and enhancing the site's natural features. This proposed park will be a bold gateway to the woods and the Pavilion, and for the first time, a year round destination as a park.
The central focal point for the park will be a plaza to include an interactive water feature and a small café with restrooms. Green technologies will be used in the design of these structures. A place to play, relax and watch people, the park will become a destination that enhances the lives of those living and working in Columbia. Three other activity areas are proposed: a children's play area, sculptures, and future park related uses.
A bold circular walk tucked inside the woodland setting is designed to establish a 'sense of place' and provide for pedestrian circulation. This walk will define the natural topographic bowl and reinforce the visual axis connecting Town Center with the Pavilion. The center of the circle, with a modest amount of tree thinning, will be a special outdoor room for the community to gather.
More intensive activities will be located around the outside of the circle and its center will be left open for passive use. A boardwalk on the eastern side of the circle will allow natural storm water drainage and ensure that the walk will meet accessibility standards by not exceeding a 5% grade. The boardwalk will also minimize re-grading which is detrimental to tree roots.
Parking on the western edge of the park will ensure easy access for park users. The 120-space parking lot and some of the activity areas on the periphery of the circular walkway will support community events, minimizing compaction of existing tree roots. Many new trees will be planted for the park to replace those removed in park construction or due to decline. They will be located to provide shade and aesthetic appeal as well as to provide habitat and to absorb storm water.
A 'Woodland Garden' located in the eastern section of the park will showcase a variety of native and woodland plants. This special garden will be a destination by its own merits and will add to the experience of visitors to Symphony Woods Park. The Woodland Garden will link to the walkway system encircling the Pavilion grounds and to Columbia's pathways. Park visitors will be able to walk one mile by completing a loop around the pavilion.
A special gathering place for the people of Columbia and Howard County, Symphony Woods Park will add life and vitality to Columbia's Town Center. The concept for the proposed park establishes a definitive plan based upon a program of family-oriented recreation activities.

Motives Of Tree Trimming
Tree trimming can be defined as the removal of particular branches or stems from a tree. It is a critical task that is supposed to be done every now and then.
When trimming the trees you need to have a lot of knowledge and experience in tree trimming so as to make sure you are doing it the right way.
Only the weak branches should be trimmed. Ensure there is retention of the strong branches and those in good shape.
Make an attempt to trim the tree when it is still in its early stages. The reason behind this is that they are soft at that stage so they are easy to trim and the danger of leaving the unpleasant scar is lessened. The trimming of the branches should not be done too close or too long. Huge stubs of the branches should not be left behind for safety reasons.
There are various motives behind trimming of the trees. It is aimed at encouraging or confining growth. Growth is prevented when excessive growth is unwanted. Stimulation of growth is needed where trees are sparse.
Tree trimming is done to ensure the tree form remains natural. It is necessary to get rid of the misshaped branches when the tree is still in its early stages so that it can grow in the proper shape.
Trimming of trees is done for security reasons. Extremely grown tree branches can block pathways as well as the main roads which are dangerous. Fragmented branches can easily fall off from the tree resulting in injuries to those in the surrounding area or lead to the ruining of property.
Trimming of trees is also done for purposes of health. Eliminating the dead and broken branches can be a good way of preventing the tree from being attacked by organisms that lead to rotting. Trimming of trees is a good way of preventing it from being attacked by diseases as it allows circulation of air and sunlight.
Trimming of trees is charged differently. The price of tree trimming is influenced by various features such as the location of the tree. The health status of the tree also influences the cost of tree trimming. If the tree has been infected by a certain disease, the price for tree trimming will be higher. Tree trimming costs are also determined by how easy it easy it is to reach the destination of the tree. If the place the tree is located has a lot of challenges reaching there then the trimming professions will charge more.
The amount of time since the last pruning will determine the prices. If plenty of time has passed since the last trimming was done, it means that a lot of trimming is to be done.
The travel expenditures that the trimming firm will incur when going to do the tree trimming will influence cost if trimming each tree.

Interlocking paving stones have a lot of qualities that are desirable for a pathway or driveway, making them an attractive choice for a lot of homeowners with garages. In this article, we will list some of the top reasons why you should install interlocking tänavakivi or paving stones. Without further ado, let’s start:
Pavers are quite simple to update or dismantle from a driveway
Driveways and paths are subjected to a great deal of excessive wear from automobiles, pedestrian activity, as well as extreme weather conditions every day. It may be tough to repair or replace a section of concrete pavement if it has been broken or fractured. You may have to re-seal the whole region.
Interconnected pavers, on the other hand, are very simple to replace. If any of the pavers is broken or discolored as a result of a car oil spill, it is rather simple to repair or replace it. With a flat pry bar, you may free the stone from every side, and after that, it can simply be taken out of the ground. Following that, new applications of cement and gravel are placed underneath the surface, and a replacement paving stone is installed.
Allows you to work underground without damaging your driveway
In addition, if you need to get to the ground underneath the interlocking pavers, interlocking pavers are incredibly useful. To build power cables or sprinkler pipework, for example, sections of the paving slabs may be lifted from beneath the surface of the installation area.
The very same pavers may then be re-installed in a short space of time after the underground work is done, saving time and money. This is very convenient compared to concrete or asphalt pavements that require you to break them and reapply them with new materials.

Proper Landscape Slope to Avoid Residential Water Damage
There is any number of ways that water can gain access to your home and result in serious water damage problems. Most if these can be avoided with a little judicious planning ahead and taking the time to make sure that all elements are in place to at least cut down on, if not eliminate, the possibility for water issues. Leaking windows and damaged roofs are the most common culprits, as are clogged or otherwise damaged gutter systems. One of the most common problems, though, quite literally surrounds your home. I’m talking of course about the landscaping and your yard (or lawn, depending on what part of the country you’re in when reading this.)
You have to remember that your yard is only capable of absorbing so much water, and once that limit has been reached, any more water is going to accumulate above the surface, creating flood conditions. Water also tends to flow in the direction of least resistance, in this case downhill, and it’s a foregone conclusion that the water is going to flow whichever way the landscaping is sloped.

Therein lies the problem. A good percentage of homes have not figured in the landscape slope as it applies to potential water and flooding issues. The yard and landscaping is simply designed with regard to what looks good, and all other conditions are secondary. Landscaping that slopes toward the home is a recipe for disaster, since it will send any and all excess water flowing toward your home, allowing it to flood the basement or lowest level if enough water is present to do so.
Ideally, landscaping should slope away from any residential or commercial property for a distance of no less than ten feet. More is always better, as the greater the slope distance, the less likely water is to be able to double back and create a problem. The slope should drop a foot for ever100 feet of property to ensure that any excess water drains off properly.
On the other hand, you do not want the slope to be too severe, as anything more than a five degree slope will result in erosion of the landscaping. Ideally slopes should be between 2 and 4 percents.
In some cases, rather drastic regarding and landscaping may be required to fully protect a home, especially if the original landscaping was done with an eye on aesthetics as opposed to water safety. Grading and re-sodding of the yard may be required to bring the property up to proper water damage prevention specs.
Your local Clean Trust certified water damage restoration provider can examine your yard and make a determination as to what type of work needs to be done in order to best protect your home from the elements, and in many cases may be able to recommend a company that can do the work. This should preferably be someone familiar with landscape construction designed to ward off water and flood problems.
