Gardening Updates: Phlox, Mini Roses, Huglekultur

Category: Starting and Maintaining the Garden | Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2014 4:09 pm

The garden is full of blooming phlox. I don't remember moving and dividing so many. The smell is delicious because they are everywhere. I didn't do the Chelsea chop on the phlox and wish I had. Many of the plants aren't as bushy as last year and tend to want to flop without supports.

The Huglekultur is finally getting covered. I need to harvest the mustard greens. Tomatoes are always iffy, but are blooming. Maybe next year a row cover for part of the Huglekultur ??? The squash and cucumbers have taken off. There is also bush beans, kale, cabbage and chard inter planted on the Huglekultur. The dogs are grazing on their wheat grass daily from the back edges of the mound.

I also have a vertical ghetto garden going for peas and beans with some kale plants. Soon it will hide my garden bench and mess.

Lastly an update on those miniature roses from the sale rack after Valentines day. In pots they have done well. Not minis any more but small. The flowers are even some what different. The biggest change was in the striped rose. It is so ugly I didn't even take a photo of it. lol The red and pink suffer from leaf drop due to black spot, but are my two favs.

The white and peach colored roses are lovely and seem more resistant to leaf loss maladies. They were also much later to start to bloom.

Now I have to decide on either keeping them in pots or finding a place in the garden for them.

Right now the berries need more picking so had better get out of the chair and get busy. It is going to be hot today. Happy gardening.
