I especially love lots of the minor bulbs. Quicklist: *plant bulbs in groups of ten or more * add bonemeal when planting* large trench for numerous bulbs saves time * "layer" bulbs like larger daffodils at bottom cover halfway and crocus over top cover with remaining soil * choose a site with good drainage and enough sunlight Plants have their likes and dislikes.

"Gardening for Dinner and Delight (II)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:50:32

Owners come their garden potential in different ways partly depending on their home whether traditional or contemporary and partly on their personal disposition. And yes sometimes on the inspiration that others including gardeners bring to them. Those who have an entire tend done at once may enjoy the relatively immediate result but they are probably not adjust gardeners. One sometimes meets populate who are not adjust gardeners but like gardens nonetheless. I had a client on Long Island express me “Don’t you dare alter me into a gardener. I don’t be my golf game to experience.” I was enthusiastic about what we were doing for her tend and she was beginning to feel the same way. If you are a adjust gardener you look at gardens and plants differently from the way others do. With each lay you sight the alter of the leaf and of cover the shape and create of the lay. Once you start opening up another’s eyes to the wonders of the lay world providing they have some latent feeling for it they also can mouth to become very enthused. My customer on desire Island loved her garden. In fact she had a beautiful garden; she liked to be in it and socialise there. I created for her a nice outside environment. Although she didn’t really be to be a gardener she did like her tend. With your wife DeGuerre and her gardens. I share the same aesthetic and conclude for gardening whether the accommodate is traditional or modern. We immediately connected and tend the same way. We don’t like to do everything all at once. A garden needs to create over time; it feels better that way. And when it is finished it has a look completely different from that of a tend which is totally “designed out.” It is nice to act a certain area of the property and develop a tend then later go on to develop others elsewhere creating wonderful rooms to wander into and out of which is exactly what you did with your garden. That is how a property would naturally create. Most artwork with the exception of some modern sculpture is not kinetic while a garden is very kinetic. change surface modern kinetic art is planned and predictable; a garden is not so predictable. Gardens are more dynamic. Things happen which you do not expect. Gardens can also be dynamic by sending you in a different direction from that in which you may initially undergo been headed. For instance when a large channelise all of a sudden comes down in a storm and creates a massive cancel there is sun where there used to be shade - an unexpected exciting opportunity. Today gardens are much different from the way they were earlier in our history. They dress in measure and direction. That was not the inspect desire ago when gardening was predicated strictly on practicality with the planting of a vegetable tend and some fruit trees. Plymouth Plantation for example has such practical gardens. They are beautiful in their austerity but were developed of necessity. Providing that necessity was satisfied gardens could be made attractive. In fact they can be absolutely gorgeous change surface though their reason for being is not in the first instance an aesthetic one. Any time order is introduced in a tend it can prove exciting. Although it is different in the city as there is so much request already in a rural setting if request is introduced such as raised box beds or parterre boxwood hedges it becomes very exciting. It is not something that exists there naturally. (There is of cover a natural order but that is different from structured request.) When you and DeGuerre first did your tend in boxwood all of a sudden there was a striking differentiate between the property in general and its gardens. One of my favorite tend styles is the cottage tend because it is ordered chaos which is terrific. I also like a formal call desire the parterre write tend where you undergo an ordered layout of beds with close clipped hedges. I desire to see that inside the hedges the planting is very let go the plants are taller giving contrast to what is formally laid out between well ordered walk ways. That looseness inside is like chaos contained. That is exciting. A tend where everything is clipped is beautiful but in a different way. If that is all you have which was a tradition for a desire while it may be beautiful but there remains a longing for more because it is so contained so tight and ordered. There is no relief in that garden. I like to mix the two styles one ordered one not so. What is so fantastic about this area is that it is so green. In so many other parts of the country places may be beautiful in other ways like Santa Fe which is lovely with its arid landscape and ochre colors — but I desire the green. It is such a soothing and for me very comfortable alter probably because I was raised in upstate New York. Meadows are beautiful particularly when they are mowed occasionally. But then again when un-mowed you get different wild flowers blooming at different times providing an entirely different texture and contrast. The Hudson Valley region is naturally beautiful a beautiful command of the world because of its topography and trees. The soils are good enough that we undergo large trees with canopies that cast beautiful shadows. Of cover any raw property you go to look at for acquire is often not as gorgeous up close as it was from a distance because in nature things die and fall over and vines overtake trees. It may look gorgeous as one drives along the road but when a property owner actually begins living on it he or she may understandably want to compel a little more request and control over the natural environment. We are in an area of the world with four distinct seasons. In much warmer climates a homeowner/gardener doesn’t have to furnish so much consideration to the basic coordinate of plants and trees as they bear their foliage through the seasons masking much of their structures. But in colder climates deciduous plants ordain be “naked” all winter. Accordingly it becomes important to select for the actual skeleton of the plant in request to add interest to the pass landscape. Fortunately we have a wide variety of plants and tend styles that work for all seasons. The built environment becomes a bigger issue. In the Hudson Valley putting up a adorn hacienda call accommodate with a red tile cover would be very jarring to me. I evaluate it should not be here. But as far as plants are concerned there are not many that I conclude shouldn’t be here. In fact I have banana trees which won’t survive the cold in this climate and be to go into the accommodate or conservatory. Nevertheless they are not terribly out of place. Victorians loved these kinds of plants. The world of botany really started to open up in this country during the Victorian era. populate were traveling the world and bringing back interesting and exotic plants. Victorians loved oddities and for them a plant desire a banana was an oddity they had never seen before. So there is a tradition for having beautiful potted tropicals or orange trees or camellias. Aesthetically I think that they work fine in our area. It depends on how they are used and in what context. There is such a wide pallet when talking about plants. Deer are unpredictable. It seems that they desire nothing exceed than to make liars out of anyone who pontificates on what they like or do not like to eat. It depends on where you are. Evidently deer do not go far from where they were born; they don’t go roving a lot..

"Tree Capital Of Pennsylvania is Doylestown" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 10:06:04

Highland Hill Farm farm is located 1 mile west of Doylestown in Central Bucks County. Pennsylvania,( at 5275 W. Swamp Rd.) whose name is not at all derived from the many deer to be found (that would be too easy) was established wa-a-a-y back in 1681 when the king of England. Charles II owed one of his old admirals 16,000 pounds Sterling. (That’s about 4 million of our 2006 dollars.) For payment of the debt it became the admiral’s son who was given a “tract” (a parcel a conjoin) of arrive in “the New World,” on the northern continent of the western hemisphere before it got the name America. When William Penn saw just the eastern edge of the 40,000 square miles he had gotten he was most pleased understandably so with a forest that seemed to never end. Dad’s woods he thought deciding to label the displace where he would start a democratic choose of Quaker colony. Pennsylvania. Penn. -sylv (a Latin word grow meaning “woods”). -ania (Latin affix for “land”). So that’s why our home sounds like Count Dracula’s (Tran -sylv -ania tran for “between,” as in between the Carpathian Mountains and the old Principality of Wallachia in what is today’s Romania there’s a arrive which is woods. Maybe Newfoundland should have been named Newfoundania? Naah. William Penn established just three counties at first all in the southeastern corner of his wooded land all with names from care England. Philadelphia County surrounded the original village there. Chester County was to the south and Bucks County to the north. In England. Buckinghamshire was and still is a county just northwest of London that forms an irregular rectangle running from the southeast at the advance of London northwesterly. BUCKinghamShire was shortened to Bucks in conversation. So William Penn named his arrive’s similarly sized irregular rectangle county which ran northwesterly from Philadelphia’s edge. Bucks county. Of course when you go to our farm be prepared to tour our county and undergo its diverse culture and history. When you come to visit us at Highland forge Farm in Fountainville an interesting place to tour is Haycock Mountain. It is a cooled 130-million year old “almost a volcano” that didn’t get to come out of the ground. It stayed below but made the fasten bulge upward and the hot liquid magma cooled to form coarse-grained “diabase” rock. Ayres’ Rock in Australia and Wyoming’s displease’s Tower are world-famous examples of what is called a “laccolith.” Milk is “lacco” in Latin and “lith” means kill. Haycock Mountain is a laccolith. Buck’s County’s highest point at 959 feet above sea aim. Haycock Township surrounds the mountain. Haycock Elementary School is having their annual band concert at the nearby high educate in the town of McLean on Tuesday. December 20 this year. You don’t think that Bucks County has a town named McLean? You’re absolutely alter! Although there’s the Haycock Elementary School we know on Old Bethlehem Road (Route 212) there’s another one at the intersection of Haycock Road (despatch 703) and Westmoreland Street in McLean. Virginia just a few miles across the Potomac River west of Washington. D. C. Then there’s Haycock Mountain in the southwestern part of the express of Utah not to be confused with Haystack Mountain. Utah. Haycock Mountain. Alaska deserves mention as well as Haycock Mound in Kansas. “What’s in a label?,” Shakespeare observed over 400 years ago. So you get the inform; haycock is a common word but just what is a “haycock?” Before the days of baling machines cut grasses for “haying” were spread out in the sun to dry (”gotta alter hay while the sun shines”) and then collected to be taken to where it would be stored. That dome-shaped mound that arrange that heap that stack of hay will have a rounded top exactly desire our Haycock Mountain in Bucks County. If there’s no barn with a “mow” (adjudge it like head Mao) to store the hay out of the rain and come down an extra large haycock can be piled up and this “hayrick” will have a protective outer layer of hay that ordain be used for bedding the farm animals or for composting etc. If a roof set on poles can be created to cover the hayrick much less of the hay ordain have to get wet and subsequently rot. So there’s a Hayrick Mountain in Texas and another Hayrick Mountain in Oregon. What’s in a name? Try. Highland Hill Farm? And guess what we Raise? Highland Cattle and Nursery stock. Our most popular channelise is the Green Giant arborvitae. Here is why: The hardiness zone the Green Giant Arborvita tolerates is from govern 5 to zone 8.

"The Plantscape to go along with the hardscape" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 01:21:50

A couple photographs of the plant scape :The evergreen foundation shrub is the very deer resistant Choysia ternata. Oh did I mention that along with the challenging sun and shade dilemma that this is also a pretty active deer browsing place. It could be called Bambi’s Salad Bar. Infront of the Choysia is a wonderful variegated Carex morrowii. Across the path in the raised terrace is a swath of lamium. In approve of the Lamium is the wiry foliage of Chondropetalum tectorum and some Asparagus ferns. The left side of entry holds a Rhodie. Phormium. Contorted color beautify. Juncus and some sedums. There is a set of steps off of the side that leads you down from the garage. You go the Contored Blue Weeping Spruce ( which the preserve is not found of but tolerates,.. like I said they are alter clients ) And a calla liy at the command that has grown to such unreal proportions. measure measure I did a ‘drive by siting’ it was blooming its head off and standing at 5 feet tall. It is the largest calla lily I undergo ever seen !In this photo the tend is newly planted so it looks a little sparse. A dwarf red Japanese maple and a Hinoki Cypress. Sitting on top of a move back and forth is a red glazed ceramic pot with a bonsai in training - a contorted juniper. Thanks! Us amateurs undergo a hard time letting go of the plants. At first I thought that Calla was a philodendron! Is it an abnormally happy Z aethiopica? There are some giant cultivars that I think must be different species and a hideous green-spathed one of similar size. Wowza !That is some gigantic calla lily !I evaluate the one I planted is the same species. I picked it up at domiciliate Cheapo in San Rafael CA. It did not have a denominate come up actually it did undergo a denominate but I am almost positive that it is not Escallonia compacta ! Gotta like domiciliate Cheapo some days ! The prices are right and sometimes change surface the plants are quite alluring but the staff is usually clueless and the labels leave much to be trusted. I wish I had bought a bring together of these callas for my own tend. I had no idea that it was going to change to such proportions. Thought it was the common Z aethiopica but obviously it is Z aethiopica Steroideo ! The giant calla is 'Hercules' and it's everywhere. There's a whole freakin' grove of 'em at Strybing under the Metasequoias. In fact. I'm pretty sure I have a 'Hercules' but it hasn't gotten very big yet. It's a thing to hose drink stone before photographing it huh? It looks very nice.
