Gardening Myrtle
I'm starting to worry and gardening?
… And was wondering if any of you felt the same way, let me explain. I already have many plans: a rhododendron, 15 daylilies, lilies over 20, about 15 Bearded Iris, four roses, daffodils 24, two violas, three ferns and hostas around 6. And that was the end of autumn of last year. This year I will be adding a butterfly bush, a gardenia, an orange double-dummy, a crape myrtle tree, a flower of almond, iris 14 more bearded and daylilies a couple more. I'll finally have a permanent home in my yard for all these plants, but until I prepare them, I'll keep them in containers until their homes are ready and have another year or two to strengthen itself before I put them on the floor. So here's my main point / question: I'm starting to worry me wonder if maybe I'm not a (dun-dun dun) plant a hoarder! Have any of you felt this way?
dear one, do not worry until you take a count of the plants you have and find that there are 350 different varieties and well over 250 species of plants in your yard … and this is very suburban !!!.. LOL! … I was not what I term "hoarder," I was a 'try-er out of it'…. I'd plant things just to see if I could grow …. and usually did …. As a result, much of now !!… keep plants in pots is questionable …. better to create a "nursing station'…. a bed that is large, full of his best solos in part sun / part shade, full shade to be able with your help, near the water ….. put your vase ones there to "rest" until you have the perfect place … This is good for perennials and smaller shrubs, but you do not want to have to try to move trees and just after two years or more !…. this is where I would put my 'finds' from the shelves at Lowe's plan to die too .. leave them there and then recover they could return to the mothers in the garden …. real, herbs, all kinds of things …. just be sure that if a plant is full of shade, you can give is that the bed Nursing …. but holding a full sun plant still works in the shadow of the piece … only slows their growth and do not expect flowers … you're on your way to becoming a plant addict … sorry … but happy for you! .. ENJOY !!!…. ps … You can convince the husband that you really do not need a lawn, right? … heehee ….

Ladies’ Southern Florist $13.02 First Printed in 1860 on the eve of the Civil War, Ladies’ Southern Florist by Mary C. Rion was the first book to provide gardeners in the South with a comprehensive list of ornamentals — trees, shrubs, flowers, bulbs, and roses — ideally suited to the southern climate. This small but pivotal work is equally significant as the earliest garden book in the South written by a woman. Prior to its publication, southern gardeners had to turn to English garden books or guides geared to northern gardeners, which offered little in the way of advice on growing plants in a region characterized by mild winters, hot and humid summers, and periods of extended drought.This facsimile edition of Ladies’ Southern Florist not only offers a historical perspective of gardening but also serves as a wonderful resource at this time of growing interest in garden history, period gardens, and heirloom plants. While many of the 150 plants described by Rion had long been favorites, she also featured many newly introduced specimens that found instant favor with southern gardeners, including camellia (Camellia japonica), gardenia (Gardenia jasmi – noides), crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica), and a wide selection of roses. Whether enjoyed for its historic merit or employed as a guide for selecting traditional time-tested plants, Rion’s work celebrates the timeless joys, pleasures, and rewards of gardening in the South. |
