All About Dogwood

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:46 pm

Red osier dogwood is just the best plant for this time of year - cut down some branches - you can find them in fields and ditches and then place them in garden pots or containers. Fill the over-season containers with soil to hold the stems. Attach some of those low voltage bulbs and you are all set for a fine looking decoration to brighten up those dull Winter days.

Large Bloom Containers

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 1:44 pm

Why did those large garden planters look so good this past season, one reason is the incorporation of Controlled Release Fertilizer or Time Release Fertilizer. It comes in pellets and is an improved version of Slow Release Fertilizer in that it is released based on soil temperature itself, more exact than Slow Release Fertilizer.

Keep Planters Looking Good

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 1:44 pm

One way to keep your planters looking good for a longer period is, of course, to prune and pinch back as required during the season. Protect them from the heavy Fall winds by moving them closer to walls and buildings for added protection. They will look better longer.

There are many annuals that still look good and will last well past the first frost in your planters and containers. They change dimension with the first fall of snow. The best ones to try are Pansies, Violas, Dianthus and Oranmental Kale and Cabbage, each has it own form and height for a beautiful container.

Garden Planter Trio

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:34 pm

Use three garden pots or planters to create a beautiful display or just use one container for all - both suggestions work so well. If you don't have any very large planters or urns three small pots will do. Plant Superbells (calibrachoa) in one pot, with Heuchera or coral bells in the second one and complete with Diascia.

Now is the time to pot up some spring flowering bulbs in your planters for indoor color during the Winter season. Place the containers in a cool, dark place, until you can see new growth emerging from the soil, and then move them to a bright window to enjoy.
