My Garden is My Space: Sunflowers and Poppies Brighten a Dull Summer

2011-07-12T07:18:00.000-07:00

July already, the gardening year seems to be flying by. Such a mixed up growing year that there are already signs of autumn before the summer blooms have had a chance to impress.

Yes it is true. Some summer perennial plants are blooming where others look like they are wondering whether to bother. A beautiful and hot April has given way to cool, if not cold, May and June. July so far is no better. Walking around the garden yesterday there are autumn flowerers that have buds swelling that look ready to burst open at any time.

But what about the summer bedding plants? Alyssum as usual is braving the elements and beginning to put on a show. The blue lobelia is only showing me the odd flower that should be teasing me for a great show to follow, I hope. The lobelia in containers is coming on at least but that put into the borders was devastated by slugs as the wet weather gave them the perfect opportunity to come out and gorge themselves.

Where Are The Garden Predators - Garden Pests are Winning

2011-06-06T03:26:00.000-07:00

Where are my garden predators when I need them?

For many years now I have no sprayed insecticide on anything in my garden.

The only exception has been that for the last two years I have had to resort to spraying my Jacobs Ladders that were being decimated by grey caterpillars. Nothing seemed to predate them and there were just too many plants and caterpillars to o round removing manually.

The first two or three years were difficult but the no spray has worked well with the natural predators gradually overcoming the pests. However this spring it is different. I have never seen so many blackfly on my Achillea. I left it to nature to do its business but all that happened was that the infestations got heavier and more destructive. I used my early season trick of using the hosepipe to blast them off but they were back again in no time. The plants were suffering so badly that I felt I had no choice but to resort to the dreaded insecticide spray.

The Wolf Whistling Blackbird

2011-06-06T02:59:00.000-07:00

We are fortunate that every year we get visits to the garden by blackbirds and thrushes. The same family of birds of course and both have such beautiful songs. Some years the thrush will outperform the blackbird and other years vice versa.

Waking early one morning when the dawn chorus was in full swing and no other noises to mar it, loud and clear above all else was a shrill wolf whistle.

How to Safely Lop and Prune Trees

2011-03-15T09:01:00.000-07:00

There are many reasons why a tree may need pruning or lopping, here are a few possibilities:

Strong winds have caused damage and rendered branches unsafe.

Pruning out diseased or unhealthy looking branches may help the tree to survive for many more years.

Many trees become congested in the centre as branches cross. Branches rubbing together as the wind blows can cause damage and allow disease to enter the tree. Light pruning removing the centre removes the possible cause and also lets in air and light.

The tree in question has become overgrown stopping light reaching plants or shrubs in the understory or even seriously reducing light into the house.

Whatever the reason a little tree surgery may be called for.

My Garden is My Space: Snowdrops at Last and The Birds Think That Spring Has Arrived

2011-02-21T04:14:00.000-08:00

At last we have Snowdrops in flower. The very cold weather seemed to have put them off but they appeared and flowered in double quick time. Within a week of their blooms opening the first purple crocus opened. It will be interesting to see how soon we get our first daffodil.

The reason I mention the daffodils is that I have visited two local gardens and not only do they have snowdrops and crocus but they have daffodils in bud ready to open anytime while ours just have the leaves poking through.

Also just opening are the hellebores. One or two blooms are open but the majority are still in bud and I estimate it will be a week or two before they are in their full and gorgeous glory.
