The Versatile Sedum - Sedums, sedums, and more sedums will start to propagate and continue on and on. Also known as stonecrop, they are extremely versatile plants. They grow well in perennial borders, containers, and in rock gardens and maybe that is why they are also called stonecrop. Their thick, fleshy succulent leaves and colorful blossoms make them stand out and look so very attractive in most any garden. Sedums come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, from tiny to tall. A great ground cover in dry, sunny locations is a low-growing type called golden stonecrop and white stonecrop that form moss-like mats spreading quickly. Keeping Tender Plants Safe Over the Winter - The brilliant autumn colors have exploded and now the leaves are falling. Pumpkins dressed with frost in the early morning tell you winter is around the corner and preparations should be made. Keeping some annuals and summer bulbs in colorful shape through the winter is possible, relatively easy and saves buying all new plants come spring. Coleus, dahlias, gladiolus, crocosmias, acidanthera, geraniums are all among the plants you can continue to grow or keep safe indoors. It is your choice. You could just leave all of them to die with the deep freeze and start with new plants next year. But the longer the potted plants are left to grow, the larger the plant, and the better the show for next spring when you will place them outdoors again. Dark Opal Basil - A great plant to grow in your herb garden is basil. A beautiful species, ‘Dark Opal' basil lends both flavor and color to culinary creations. No other herb is so exuberant and bountiful as basil. When you would pick from your herb garden, a few fronds of parsley and dill, or a sprig of rosemary and thyme, you would pick an armload of basil. And it is a good thing because you will find this herb to be extremely useful! Start growing basil, an annual indoors four to six weeks before you intend to set the plants out. Once the herb is planted, mulch around it only when the soil has thoroughly warmed up. It is best to wait until night temperatures are above 55°F. Though it tolerates a wide range of pH (4.5 to 6.5), basil does best in fertile soil. Growing the Herb, Oregano - Just as growing your own vegetables to cook with, there is nothing quite like growing your own herbs to use to flavor your cooking. If you are a cook who enjoys using herbs in your recipes, consider how much more tasty it will be to add your own freshly grown herbs snipped from pots on your windowsill garden. Among the several species of oregano used in cooking, the one recommended for kitchen use is Origanum heracleoticum. Commercially available dried oregano you purchase at the grocery store may contain any number of species of oregano and even unrelated plants, so that is why you haven’t been too impressed with its flavor in your cooking. Growing your own is definitely the best way to go. Gardening Chores for the Fall - As colder temperatures and shorter days prevail, gardeners must think about getting their gardens set for winter. Below is a checklist of chores to consider for the maintenance of your perennial garden, vegetable garden, and lawn to keep all in healthy condition. 1. Get the Most from Your Fallen Leaves - Nature’s way of returning the nutrients back to the tree is through the leaves of the tree. Fallen leaves contain up to 80 percent of the nutrients that a tree absorbs during its growing season. Leaves return their store of nutrients to the soil when they are allowed to decay on the ground. The nutrients are reabsorbed by the tree’s roots and channeled back to a new season of growth. The All-Time Favorite: Roses - Many gardeners become passionate about their roses. It is easy to understand why with their great beauty in numerous varieties of sizes, petal shapes, and color; and no need to mention their luscious, lingering scent. Through the ages, roses have been the symbol of a well cared for home. Perhaps because those who have grown roses know that they require special attention. No Cost Landscaping Ideas - The Internet has a great many sites dedicated specifically to free landscaping ideas, thereby enabling people to initiate their own landscaping projects, at their own pace, without the cost of engaging a contractor. Buying Plants For Your Garden - Many times we buy plants on impulse then find there is nowhere in the garden that really suits them. Before buying plants carefully examine your garden to see how much sun and shade it gets, whether the soil is well drained or waterlogged and whether your aspect is sheltered or windswept. You'll then be equipped to go and buy the best plants for your situation; shade-loving plants for the sheltered areas, sun-lovers for the warm spots, drought-resistant plants for the parched areas which may be either sunny or shaded, and swamp plants for the poorly-drained parts. But wait! How To Grow A Vegetable Garden - With the costs of living rising all the time, it may be possible to save money and increase your family's health at the same time by growing vegetables in your backyard. It's a good idea to choose your favourite vegetables to grow and plan beds for early, middle of the season and late varieties. Most vegetables require at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, some need 8. Some quick growers like lettuce and radish can be grown between the rows of plants that take longer to mature, like beet or corn, thus making full use of the area available. Throughout dry periods, vegetable gardens need extra watering. Most vegetables benefit from an inch or more of water each week, especially when they are fruiting. During the growing season watch for insect pests. Finding The Right Plants For Your Koi Garden - So you finally finished your water garden construction. You have finally come to the fun part of creating your water garden: picking the flowers and plants that will make your water garden a beautiful oasis. Not only should you consider beauty when you are picking your plants, but you must also remember that plants provide another, more important value to your garden, biological life. Biological life helps maintain your pool by doing what they would do in nature. Be sure to pay attention to your climate and area. Backyard Landscaping and How to Enjoy it - As with practically anything you attempt, your backyard landscape can be a place of fun, provided you put a bit of "you" into it. By this, I mean some of your own imagination and creativity. Not only is this an exercise in beautification of "your space", but at the same time there is a satisfying sense of accomplishment involved here. However, do keep in mind that, you will never achieve this state of mind if you are only able to view the whole thing as a chore. Artificial Grass has Environmental Positives - People are coming up with ways they can do their bit to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle - or at least they should. There are lots of ways we can improve our carbon emissions output because nearly every single choice we make in our day to day life has some sort of consequence on our carbon footprint. A possible area of change may be in your own backyard, literally. Choosing your Fence Panel - With the economy in financial meltdown and a knock on slump to the housing market, fewer people are considering moving and are instead turning their attention to home and garden improvements. A big part of this focus is on people’s garden fencing and subsequently a choice is required on what fence panel to choose. Although choosing fence panels for your garden fencing may at first seem straightforward, there are in fact many factors which need to be considered. Primarily your choice of fence panel can be split into two distinct areas. History of Artificial Grass - Artificial grass came into existence in the middle of the twentieth century. It came into existence to improve the physical fitness of the younger generation. It has gone through a series of changes to come to the present day's requirement. Relish Winter Gardening - Winter gardening can be so much fun and extremely beneficial as well! Allocate a special space in your garden just for winter gardening. If you are going to plant a crop following one that you had planted earlier, it's a good idea to feed the soil before hand. You want to give it the best shot that you can at being successful. Try mixing compost, leaf mulch or manure that is aged to your soil to keep it fertile. Cool weather vegetables only take about one week to germinate therefore transplants can be started outdoors. Profitable Organic Gardening - Organic gardening is growing and marketing health foods that have not been treated with commercial chemicals. Only natural fertilizers and pest repellents are used to qualify for the higher, health food prices. Getting Started with Aeroponic Gardening - Aeroponic gardening is quickly gaining popularity among indoor gardeners. Preferred for the protection it offers against disease and pest infestation, this variation of hydroponics gardening is ideal for anyone seeking to cultivate organic produce. In order to create such growing conditions, however, very specific equipment is needed. While there are some similarities between hydroponic supplies, and those used for aeroponic gardening, there are significant differences. The source of the differences is a result of manner in which plants are cultivated. Getting Started with Grow Light Kits - For anyone starting out with indoor or hydroponics gardening, using grow light kits can help you get started on the right foot. Making sure you provide a stable, managed environment can make all the difference in your garden’s success. While it is possible to purchase indoor grow lights and other components that you’ll need separately, starting out with a kit can be a much simpler solution. Benefits of using grow light kits The most significant benefit of any kit is that it is ready to use immediately. While this his hugely convenient, new and seasoned gardeners alike will appreciate that kits are failsafe. Garden Fencing For A Better Exterior - Garden fencing is not all about the fence panels and fence posts. A personal touch makes it more attractive. At the same time you should stick closely to the exterior of your home so that the garden fencing matches the aesthetic of the rest of your house. When carefully considered and planned, the chosen fence type, fence panels, fence posts, and other accessories add to the external beauty of the house, and may help to add value to the property too. Why garden fencing is installed? People install garden fencing for a variety of reasons.
