No Irrigation Today - The Canoe Trip Was Fun

Nothing to do with irrigation or lawn sprinklers today. The whole company went on a canoe trip down Blackwater River. It was a nice 11 mile stretch. It was a nice workout and great to get out in the wilderness. I had a great time and hope everyone else on the team did as well. Back to irrigation work tomorrow. Good night.

Flaming Flowers And Blue Butterfly

The gorgeous fiery flowers of the Heleniums, with the blue butterfly, and crimson Coleus below. It was so hot yesterday when i was working. The Roses have opened up on the last two Roses that have not flowered. One has an identity crisis and has deepred/ pink coloured petals (instead of the yellow rose on the label that came with it), whilst the climber Zephrine Drouhain has a lighter pink and a lovely...

Reseeders and Other July Surprises

There are some reseeders that I count on seeing in my garden each year. For example, I love the smokey purple color of ruby mountain spinach, atriplex hortensis var. rubra , as well as the deep purple-green leaves and red flowers of 'Hopi Red Dye' amaranth, seen here: Some plants are known to be reseeders, but are hit-or-miss when it comes to making repeat appearances in my garden. For example, last...

Technology Is Hard; Very Hard

I have a large website at www.yardener.com which I've been working on for ten years. It has a fair number of graphics with photos and line art. Up to this point someone else created the graphics. I've decided I should be doing that task myself. Easy to say. I need to learn how to use a digital camera and how to manipulate the photos on my computer. But I don't pause for sanity. I also have purchased...

Texas gardeners are good to know

That statement or something really close was the message of an NPR segment that had me tearing up—oh hell, crying—on my commute home today. Here’s the story in brief: Tracy Pruitt's property manager gave her 30 days to leave her...

Young women garden activists in the news

Check out the terrific story by Adrian Higgins of the three community gardeners who embarked on a 2,000-mile journey last summer to document urban farming from Washington, D.C. to Montreal. Too bad the online version doesn't include all the photos...

Plant Large Trees

You may have heard the catch phrase “fall is for planting”. It is not just a marketing ploy by garden centers, it is true. September and October are the best times in the whole year to plant grass seed, trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground covers. It is also the best time to transplant one of those plants from one place to another. While it might sound as a surprise to you, planting larger almost...

Teasel Time

The Teasel has started flowering with its lilac and blue coloured flowers. It will hopefully make the seed heads later that the garden birds will come to eat in the autumn. It flowers a few rows at a time. these flower spikes are so tactile, and feel like a comb when you touch them.The rest of the plant is very sharp and the spines catch me if I stand too close to it. The plant is now about two metres...

This hybrid is an L. auratum copycat. Many of the gardeners I know have a specific reason they first became interested in gardening. Sometimes it’s a particular plant. My friend Gordon, now the owner of a showplace garden that overflows...

Planting Shrubs In Hot Summer

We are breaking the rules again, and are not apologizing. We are planting good sized shrubs in July. Yes, fall is the best time for planting trees and shrubs, but when you get a gift of 20 shrubs in July, you plant shrubs in July and using our approach there is no problem. The rules are that when you dig a hole to plant a tree or shrub you should not add any amendments to the hole such as fertilizer...
