Wildflower Meadow http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/24/wildflower-meadow/ http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/24/wildflower-meadow/#comments Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:24:29 +0000 Lee Goins http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/24/wildflower-meadow/ It’s easy to grasp the appeal of planting a wildflower meadow, a common hope being “Hey, I can just throw out some wildflower seeds and it will look pretty and I won’t have to deal with that steep hill, or wet area, or mow as much!” Well it may not be quite that simple, but given the proper site, season, seed, and preparation (yes, unfortunately there is actual work involved) a wildflower meadow can be a great natural and colorful addition to the landscape.

Geranium Rozanne: 2008 Perennial Plant of the Year http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/19/geranium-rozanne-2008-perennial-plant-of-the-year/ http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/19/geranium-rozanne-2008-perennial-plant-of-the-year/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:29:36 +0000 Lee Goins http://www.gardentalkonline.com/2008/02/19/geranium-rozanne-2008-perennial-plant-of-the-year/ Each year since 1990 Perennial Plant Association members have nominated plants for promotion as a Perennial Plant of the Year. Those nominations are narrowed down to 4 choices and then all PPA members vote. Usually the selections will be lower maintenance, grow in many zones, and be a dependable contributor to a perennial garden. I can only think of one, veronica “Sunny Border Blue”, that was a poor performer in my area. Talking to a rep at Willoway nursery in Columbus about Sunny Border Blue’s award he agreed with “yeah… shouldn’t a perennial of the year survive an Ohio winter?” But, 2008’s selection, Geranium Rozanne does look like a winner with repeat blooms of violet-blue flowers that persist with the healthy foliage all summer. Rozzane’s large 2 inch plus saucer shaped keep coming through the heat of summer. It’s Rozanne’s heat tolerance that really makes it a standout among perennial geraniums. They are vigorous enough you may use them as a ground cover, yet they have a mounding habit that is not invasive. (more…)

But if your irrigation is outdated or in need of repair it could be ineffective or wasteful of water, costing you money and time.

The biggest recent advancement in irrigation is the programmability of reasonably priced controllers. (more…)
