So happy with the caladiums we planted around the border in the White Garden. they bring sparkle and light to that dark and shady corner of the yard. Also notice, if you haven't had the time to travel to Chatsworth to see the fountains we have the pump in the goldfish pond shooting straight up in the air 6 feet, it makes me laugh every time i see it. You can see I centered it on the gate opening. The plan is to turn a cast iron urn into a dripping fountain but I have to figure out the plumbing first. So, for now...

Well, here we are 2 heart caths and 1 open heart surgery later. Four months old, growing and learning as fast as a weed. The end of July holds another heart cath and another open heart surgery for Ella. Her main goal is chewing on everything she can get to her mouth, she is teething and drooling like a pro. Her other goal is to stay cool, she hates to be hot. Good luck with that one - Carolina Girl!David - Pinewood Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04352558343313743914noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282250982748967697.post-62476151964640973962017-03-10T06:42:00.000-08:002017-03-10T06:42:00.360-08:00Grand daughter - Baby Ella Our lives changed February 16th when our son's baby Ella was born.

While searching for any meaning through this whole time, I found a quiet garden space. This garden as well as the landscape all around the hospital show that they understand the quieting peace people gain from natural spaces and flowers.<br />

This is our first Christmas tree up and decorated this year. The tree is my vintage 1966 aluminum tree from when I was 2 years old. The ornaments are all silver and white, the white lights are on white wires so the whole theme is consistent. I think it looks great. Merry Christmas to me. It gives me great joy to bring out things I have had my whole life, and it looks better than it ever did before.

<span style="font-size: large;"> This is my first attempt at growing anything other than perennials. This is an heirloom seed for dipper gourds used to dip water from a bucket dropped down into a well. My long range goal across the street at the historic property at which I now volunteer is to create a small fenced in kitchen garden. I have located wooden split rail fencing at the local big box home and garden store, I think I can fence in the small yard behind the Old Kitchen for about a hundred dollars. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> By growing these gourds I have discovered that the light is not the same on both sides behind the Old Kitchen (c late 1830s). The right side gets sun all day, the left side only gets light from noon to sundown. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There is a huge difference in how the gourds have grown. One side is 12 feet high and hanging with gourds, the other side is barely knee high. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This winter I hope to sell the dried gourds to raise money for the garden projects. Would you give a five dollar donation to help restore the gardens at a historic property? i am hoping people will, as a keepsake from their tour of the mansion. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Next Spring I need to get the seeds started much earlier, which is hard to do when you are teacher as I am. Spring is a busy season for me. I also have decided to get some 12 foot posts and grow the vines up on wire mesh - high and up off the ground makes the handles long and straight. I have all this winter to plot and plan. </span>David - Pinewood Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04352558343313743914noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282250982748967697.post-39566656756279133292015-08-22T16:10:00.000-07:002015-08-22T17:16:58.366-07:00Clematis Henryii - late August<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They have been so kind the last couple of years to come over and walk Jack for us during the day when we are at school. They even put dog bones on the front porch for him to "find" when they took him out. Jack - loved and spoiled by so many folks.<br />

I have big plans for this yard. Sky pencil hollies have been planted to hide the AC units and the dogwood tree and large clump of aspidistra Cast Iron plant (to left behind wall) are to be replaced with a living wall of sky pencil holly. I have about 20 cuttings rooted, ready and waiting for cooler raining days this fall to get into the ground. <br />

<i>Baptisia</i> can also be rooted from stem cuttings. Cuttings are genetically identical to the plant that provided them, which ensures the preservation of desirable characteristics such as unusual stem or flower color. Be aware that many new <i>Baptisia</i> cultivars are patented and cannot be legally grown from cuttings or other clonal propagation methods.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most baptisias root easily in spring when the growth is still relatively soft, but the success rate drops as the stems harden. Good cutting material can generally be found in late April to early May. Cuttings should be taken so that at least one set of leaf buds can be inserted below the potting mix surface. Dip cutting in a rooting hormone and insert into a mix of 3 parts composted bark to 1 part peat. Keep humidity around cuttings high with a supported plastic tent. Cuttings should root in about 8 weeks.</div>

Division or transplanting of <i>Baptisia</i> is difficult because of their deep woody root system and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.</div>

Planted near the top of the driveway border, this plant is Echinops Ritro. It promised to be a four feet tall plant with dark blue or purple globe shaped flowers. Last year this plant grew six inches tall and didn't do anything. This year... well, the catalog didn't lie. It has shot upwards and is loaded with buds. Exciting.<br />
