Linda M. Danko is potty about plants. In fact, all your plants are sealed.

That’s how this Purdue master gardeners turn your yard into a series of adventurous gardens, to inspire your Hammond neighbours.

“I love the fact that my garden brings joy to children, how to and from school go,” said Danko. “Find the small statues and dolls in under the flowers you… just makes me smile.”

  Danko spends approximately $ 1,000 to new plants every year. Only stores and replants your 10,000 Shamrock lights every year.

“I live with my sister and there is no place for storing things over the winter,” said Danko. The clovers, I cut back, and rinse the onions and winter save.”It caused other lamps, purchase of new plants and shrubs annually friends and neighbours because she enjoys every spring.”

Every container Garden features adorable dolls and statues according to themed and eingerichtet. The “Children” garden, steals shops found at resale.”I bought the great Raggedy Ann doll for a dollar and then the clothes for you in infants wear found.” Danko said.

The “fragrant” garden is of course ab

Most of us will simply water our container gardens by hand, and enjoy doing it. However, increasingly people do need to travel during the flowering season and may need to irrigate their plants during their absence. If you have considered irrigating your container garden, read on for our introduction to the systems available.

Irrigation systems are designed to supply an adequate amount of water in a timely manner to plants. Keeping this in mind is important when designing an irrigation system. 

There are two types of systems sprinkler/spray head and drip or trickle irrigation systems. Both can be used for container watering. 

However, drip irrigation systems are a great way to provide constant moisture to container grown plants without saturating. Drip irrigation works by applying water slowly, directly to the soil. This type of irrigation is highly efficient. 

Drip irrigation kits are available at most garden centers. They allow you to water plants separately with emitters, or water groups of plants with micro-spray stakes or tapes that ooze water along their entire length. 

Unfortunately, drip emitters suffer from a handicap as they are easily plugged by silt or other particles not filtered out of the irrigation water. Emitter blockages also can be caused by algae growing in the tape or by chemical deposits at the emitter head. 

As a result, on a farm scale drip irrigation systems usually require more filtration and require higher water quality than sprinklers. If the water source is surface water (for example ditch, reservoir), high quality filtration stages should be used. If a borehole source is used less filtration may be possible. 

However, when for the home and garden, the source is a potable water supply the problem of filtration does not usually arise, so the drip type systems usually work well. 

Emitters come in many different flow rates and styles. Some emission devices are designed specifically for dense plantings and are considered to be broadcast emission devices. 

The alternative for container plants is of course the use of automatic sprinkler controllers. At the top of the range these can include electric control valves, pop-up spray heads and/or the use of pop-up rotors. This can make keeping your landscaping or yard maintained in your absence a simple matter, however, such automatic controls are unnecessary for short absences with drip systems as these can be left to run continually once set up.

There are many great deck ideas and just as many wonderful possible patio designs. However, there are a few things to consider when deciding which one to include in your landscape. Hopefully you will enjoy your landscape structure for many years to come. Here are some things to think about.

The first consideration is how high off the ground your structure will be. It may be at or just above ground level where no steps are needed. It may require just a few steps. However, the structure may have to be located off a second story and thus be at a very high elevation.

For those situations where the structure can be designed pretty much at ground level, a deck or patio can both be used. The deck, however, must be constructed in such a way that it is not resting directly on the ground. Typically, patios are chosen.

What if your structure needs a few steps? For situations where anywhere from two to about seven steps would be required to get to the lower level, either patios or decks may be selected. The main thing to remember is that whatever you choose will be off the ground. In the case of a deck, that space beneath the deck floor can be left open or covered with lattice. However, with patios, side walls must be built. This will add on to the cost. In addition, for higher walls, protection against falling off the patio must be considered. This can be achieved by either the installation of railings or having deep planters built in the patio.

If the structure is to be built very high off the ground, as would be the case where the exit door is from an upper level, decks make much more sense. Choosing to have a patio at that level would necessitate extremely high walls. Creating multilevel patios is possible and walls can be designed to be reasonable heights. However, the amount of levels and walls would still up the cost tremendously. And I mean by huge amounts of money.

Decks which are entered from second story rooms can be creative ones. They can have interesting shapes. Another option is to design a multi level deck. One area might be your main living area, while another might be a smaller area for relaxing, closer to ground level.

Advantages of Patios

- Patios are less expensive than decks, if average cost materials are used and no side walls are needed.
- Patios can be created with materials that require little or no maintenance.
- Designs of patios can take on many shapes.
- Curved designs are easier with patios than decks.
- Patios can be designed in sucha way so that they look very traditional or contemporary.

Advantages of Decks

- Decks do not need side walls.
- If the deck is at a higher elevations, it will be less expensive due the ability to just have an open lower area or lattice.
- Most decking material does not get hot.
- Seat walls and planters can be easily added at a reasonable cost.

The elevation of the door you are exiting out of, the style you are looking for and your budget will help determine whether a deck or patio is right for your project.

Gardening involves the cultivation of different kinds of plants. You may decide that growing shrubs are more of your thing and have a shrub garden nearby. Some people are contented with a garden that supplies them with a steady supply of vegetables.

Rose gardening is a form of gardening that deals with the cultivation of roses. Roses are a very special kind of flower. The demand for roses during occasions such as birthdays, valentines or marriage anniversaries has made rose gardening a rather lucrative business. However, in spite of this fact, most gardeners are rather reluctant to cultivate roses.

Why? It’s quite simple really. Roses are like a jealous woman who wants no one else to steal the attention of her man away from her. Cultivating roses can be time and energy sapping and that’s because roses require extra time, effort and attention.

Gardening Tips – Container Roses

Roses like other plants require a soil that is rich in nutrients. It also requires a healthy dose of sunlight to be able to produce any flower that is of worth. However, where roses deviate from other plants is in the area of maintenance.

Roses are rather fragile flowers that can die off if the right amount of care or attention is not given. Roses are usually planted at the start of the spring season. During this period, you are not supposed to over fertilize the rose plant. You are expected to consistently fertilize it using moderate amounts of fertilizer till the beginning of the fall. This consistency can place a demand of time on gardeners who are just too busy to meet it.

Another reason why most gardeners shy away from rose planting is because of the rose’s demand for water. Roses are not like camels and always need to be watered regularly if you are going to register any success. Once again, this consistent demand for water puts many gardeners off. Roses need to be pruned and the dead flower heads more frequently, than any other plant as well.

There’s no doubt about it. Rose gardening is only for gardeners who can handle its demanding traits – but if you do you will be rewarded by this most wonderfully beautiful flower, and uniquely appealing scent.
