HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
clicquot1 |
I thought I would start a thread for those of us who enjoy gardening and growing plant/flowers. I live in TEXAS and where I live we get very little winter, lots of spring and lots and lots of summer, so we have a long growing season. I just recently planted some BLUEBONNETS which are the state flower of TEXAS. I planted blue ones which are the traditional ones and some burgandy ones, it will be awhile to I see them but am looking forward to them. My backyard has several oak trees and a couple of persimmon trees and I have several ESPERANZAS by the pool. Also have mother-in-law tounge, pencil-thin , and alovera which I think are all in the cacti family(does anyone know?). My husband likes green plants so I have a couple of spider plants, a english-ivy, fern(3 different types), and wandering judes. Of course, since fall is here I have a couple of flowering mums(yellow & hot pink). My husband has some flowering herbs like rosemary, mint(spearmint & doublemint), sage, and basil. I have a couple of different kinds of flowering sage also. What do ya'll have a preference for? Does anyone grow roses? I did at my other home but not this one. Had 4 differnt ones: JACKIE KENNEDY ROSE, AMERICAN BEAUTY,climbing pink rose, and another rose that I think was some sort of mini rose. Anyone care to share some tips or ideas about plants or tell what they are growing in their gardens? What do ya'll think, anyone? |

To extend the season many gardens showcase mums and ornamental cabbage during the fall and into the winter season. Burning bush is a fascinating schrub turning from green in spring and summer to orange and a fiery red at its peak. Berry bushes (red and orange) also keep the color in gardens throughout the winter. You like a blue spruce....many many many here - all you want! I too like the ivies. Especially English Ivy. Laughed at your "Wandering Jude" plant. Back east we call it "Wandering Jew"...yes we do and it is written as such on the florists tags. No disrespect - it just is - always has been. Many of my Jewish friends have them and laugh at the name too. Moving on......... My summer garden has bluebells and many species found in English gardens. Years ago I began collecting specimens of "antique" perennials and have nurtured them along....many people are surprised to see old favorites they remember in their grandparents gardens growing in my garden. A favorite is "Pennies"...old fashioned multicolored climbing roses....and a variety of Peonie I adore...but it is my Iris Oasis that is my favorite..bearded and plain I love them! But it is in the Spring when the scent of Lilacs renews my spirits after a long winter nap...that makes me smile and look forward to everything coming to life once again. |

OH, OREO thank you for the beautiful, vivid descriptions that you gave all of us here on the board. Your descriptions are so picturesque that I think all I need to do to see your garden is close my eyes. One of the things that I love about this GREAT COUNTRY of ours is that the states may be very different in their climates and terrain but EACH "one" has much beauty waiting for all of us to explore. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your beautiful state of NEW YORK! |

This is a great thread. I love working in my yard and love flowers. I live in central NC and with fall in the air, the mums have been beautiful. I just planted some pansies yesterday under my arbor of Carolina Jasmine. I have another garden where I usually plant pansies but hate to pull up my begonias while they're still in bloom. |

Does anyone have a bleeeding heart? They're an old flower and I have a huge one beside the deck. Clicquot, you say you have persimmion trees. Do you make puddings out of them? We love that at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love setting out bulbs in fall cause after a long winter, we always look forward to spring when everything comes alive. Hi, LYNN! yes we do have some persimmon trees(three are left we have lost 2) but they are the ones that are native to TEXAS they do not have fruit. That is so funny that you ask because a couple of weeks ago I read an article about the ones that have fruit and asked my husband about them. i did not know there were two types. Ours have the gray trunks and I just love them. The couple that my husband and I bought our house from were two gay guys that were both in the military and that retired and they planted so many annuals that I do not even know what some of them are. We have some beautiful TIGER LILLIES out back by the hot tub and some paper whites, narcisis(sp.?), and some flowering sages to name just a few. My snapdragons are just loving the little bit of cool that we recently got, I have red(burgandy) and yellow that are blooming. I have never been very successful with pansies but I just love their vivid colors yellow with purple, purple with yellow, and the white ones. One of my neighbors always plants pansies around some of their trees and it is very colorful and quite beautiful. Today, I will be going to the store to find a pumpkin for the trick-or-treaters and another one for my husband to make some pumpkin soup. He is a GREAT cook and can cook anything FRENCH, ITALIAN, CHINESE, MEXICAN, TEX-MEX, SOUL, and so many others he is just awesome and as long as I buy him the chicken tools, pans, knives, and gadgets he will cook for me. I'm so lucky that I do not have to cook but then why should I because he is so much better than I will ever be. One year he grew some basil so big that he had to figure out what to do with that bush. So he came up with a new receipe for oysters just to use the basil. He always has a huge bushel of rosemary, though I am not particularly fond of rosemary as it is an overpowering herb to me. I just LOVE CAROLINA JASMINE but it has been years since I had one and it was at my other house. They are beautiful and I do tend to like yellow flowers. Your yard sounds lovely! |

Well, I learned something new. I didn't know there were persimmion trees that didn't bear fruit. You say Tiger Lilies, you're after my heart. I've just taken an interest in lilies in the last few years. In fact, I need to divide some day lilies next week if it dries off. Do you have any experience with Star Gazer lilies. I was under the impression that they multiplied, but I have 4 or 5 that never have. My husband is a big fan of impatients, but the summers are so dry here sometimes that they need watering so often. You're lucky that your husband cooks. Mine will IF I ask and when he does, it does taste pretty good. I guess cause I didn't have to do it myself. Do you ever roast pumpkin seeds? They're pretty good. Wish you'd post the recipe for pumpkin soup. It sounds good. I don't guess we'll have any trick or treaters but I'm prepared in case they do show up. |

He also makes great gespacho and a cold yellow bell pepper soup that is delicious. he has taken the soup and made it into a cocktail before too kinda a different take on a bloody mary if you know what I mean.

Quote clicquot1: Well, I thought I would add something to this thread since it is getting that time of the year for some cooler weather, even here in TEXAS. May of the plants your describe, Cyclamens, Pansies, and crawlers are all plants I grow in pots on my patio. I also have a beautiful snapdragon vine covered with purple flowers growing along the fence. Allyusum grow so quickly and spread so much, I find I must pull them out, otherwise they take over everythig else. I had a beautiful bed of Red, White, Pink and Yellow Dahlias this year as well, and some beautiful Gerber Daisies. A couple of my favorite potted plants for the Patio tho are my two double-blossom bogonias - bright yellow (which your don't see often) and red. Also my pale pink fushias. I find that container gardening is much easier for me to maintain and gives me much needed color.So, here is a list of some nice flowering plants for the cooler weather and that all add color to your flowering gardens or for that special planter or certain decrotive pot. I have always enjoyed SNAPDRAGONS especially yellow ones but they also come in maroon, white, salmon, pink, and of course yellow. Many love PANSIES(deer do also so if you have deer look out & be prepared for them to munch)and they come in so many beautiful color combos. I currently have some with burgandy and purple and yellow, but they come in yellow with purle, purple with yellow, white with burgandy and a variey of other combos, just beautiful. Also love PETUNIAS which could be purple, pink or spotted! DIANTHUS are another beautiful addition that come in a multitued of colors. SWEET ALYSSUMS, STOCKS, CALENDULA, SWEET PEAS, and CYCLAMEN are also all winter blooming flowers. I just got introduced to CYCLAMEN and love them they are just gorgeous especially bright colors of WHITE, HOT PINK(my fave), RED, or MAROON. Unless the weather gets very cold it will bloom every day until APRIL. Does anyone have any of these beautiful plants in their gardens? Where I grew up where winters were harsh, Lilacs and Peonies were my favorites as well, but here in California they do not do well - they need that ground freeze. However, they have hybrednized (sp.) lilacs and peonies for this area, so think I will get some for next year. |

I just love SNAPDRAGONS and have a few yellow ones in pots around the pool and two in hanging baskets that are on one of those ornamental big 2-pronged hooks for hanging baskets(do you know the ones I'm talking about). This is the first time I have ever tried the cyclamen and just love them. I have one large pot that has pansies. My beds in the front yard all have ornamental grasses and annuals that were planted by the previous owners. |

I will even take the BLACK SPRUCE but haven't seen them in a few years either. Guess we will have to see what is available this years. What color daffodils do you have, they are soooooooooo pretty.

Your garden sounds beautiful also. I have a crape myrtle bush but it's where it doesn't get full sun and it's never gotten really large. We'd move it but an aunt gave it to me years ago and I'm afraid a move would kill it. I also love daffodils ( I still call them buttercups) and all spring bulbs. There's really too many trees in my yard for sun-loving bushes and flowers. |

Altho I don't have one in my yard, there are some quite close by. One is a beautiful flowering Eucalyptus Tree with huge, fluffy orange blooms - about as large a big dinner plates. They are spectacular. Also Jackarandas which look similar to your Crepe Myrtle. My neighbor has a huge Calif Redwood tree in the back yard - about ten years ago they planted it when it was about four foot high. It now towers to over forty feet - perfectly formed. Redwoods are very fast growing conifers if you want a fast grower. |
