标签归档: 如何

几周前, 我有机会拍了另一张风景的照片,我路过一个社区,在那里我刚刚完成了一个景观咨询.

可悲的是, I often see examples of truly ‘interesting’ or should I say ‘bad’ 修剪.  我开车经过这片风景,然后转了个弯,以便快速拍张照片。

灌木修剪

灌木修剪

我不知道你怎么想,但这些德州鼠尾草灌木看起来像蘑菇,你不觉得吗?

可悲的是, 修剪 these beautiful flowering shrubs this way, robs them of their flowers, increases maintenance, creates dead wood and shortens their life.

虽然有相当多的灌木,采取良好的重复正规修剪-这样做的开花灌木应该避免.

I must admit that I have seen Texas sage and other flowering shrubs pruned into many different shapes…

但是,坦率地说,灌木不应该是纸杯蛋糕、飞盘或软糖

Here are just a few reasons why…

  • 它除去了灌木为自身提供能量所需要的叶子
  • 过度修剪实际上会让你的灌木生长得更快,这就意味着需要更多的维护
  • 灌木修剪通常需要更多的水,因为它们不断地工作以补充失去的叶子
  • Continued shearing will shorten the lifespan of your shrubs
  • Green ‘blobs’ are ugly compared to beautiful flowering shrubs

If you are tired of the time and money it takes to maintain flowering shrubs the ‘wrong’ way. I invite you to join me in my online shrub 修剪 workshop w在这里 I will teach you the right way to prune.

想象你的户外空间充满了美丽的开花灌木,而不是绿色的“球”. 信不信由你, the shrubs in the photo above are the SAME 植物 – they have just been maintained differently. The one on the left takes much more money and time and the other thrives with 修剪 once (or twice) a year.

在我的在线课程中, I show you 如何 work with your landscaper or how you can take care of your shrubs yourself. Got ‘green balls’ already in your landscape? 我会教你如何让它们恢复活力,以及最佳时间.

So, 扔掉院子里的“绿色斑点”,学会自信地修剪——这比你想象的要容易得多. 了解更多 在这里 and what students have to say about the class.

Do you like to use fresh herbs when you cook?

What if you could just step outside your door and snip some herbs without having to go to the store? 

对了,你看到超市里的新鲜香草有多贵了吗? And, who want floppy herbs when they can have fresh ones?

I am often asked whether it is easy to grow herbs in the desert garden and I always answer, “yes!”

container herb garden

草本植物大多来自干旱地区,因此它们在betway旗舰版下载的气候中繁茂生长. They also like sun, which we have plenty of.

One of my favorite ways to grow herbs in containers. 事实上,它们在花盆里生长得非常好——尤其是当它们一起种植的时候. 想象一下,在厨房门附近的容器里种植着各种各样的药草?

It’s easy to do and 在这里 is how:

1. 将你的容器放置在至少6小时日照的地方.

罗勒, container herb garden

罗勒

2.  Fill your container with 植物ing mix, 这是无菌的, 质地轻盈,特别适用于集装箱工厂.  It retains just the right amount of moisture for 植物s. Potting soil can become soggy.

3. 添加一种缓释肥料,比如渗透科特,并将其施用到土壤的顶部2英寸处.

牛至

牛至

4. 种植草药. 当你开始移植时,牛至、迷迭香、鼠尾草和百里香是最容易种植的. 罗勒 grows easily from seed, but can you also use trans植物s.

5. 水很深的. 浇水时不要弄湿树叶,因为它们喜欢保持干燥.

百里香

百里香

6. Herbs like to dry out between watering. To check when they need water, simply stick your finger down to 1-inch deep – if the soil is moist, 不水. 但是,如果水差不多干了,就往下灌水,直到水从底部的排水孔流出.

Purple 罗勒 (Not the healthiest specimen, 但他们只有这棵树——苗圃里浇水太多了。).

7.  Don’t add any additional 肥料 after 植物ing.  Herbs don’t like extra 肥料 since it causes them to grow larger leaves with fewer oils, which is what gives them their flavor.

I like to place my herbs near my vegetable garden.

Here in the desert, we can grow herbs all year long. 然而,我确实喜欢干香草,比如罗勒,它在betway旗舰版下载的冬天是活不了的.

I encourage you to dip your toes into growing your own herbs. 你可以在你最喜欢的苗圃找到移植,所以找一个阳光充足的地方开始吧!

Creative Container Gardening Tips

Many of us are familiar with how over-修剪 can take away much of the beauty of flowering shrubs, in addition to contributing to their early death.

但, have you ever wondered what they look on the inside?

I found this ‘ugly’ example alongside the drive-thru of Taco Bell.

在修剪灌木

在修剪灌木

It isn’t pretty, is it?

The side of the ‘Green Cloud’ Texas 圣人 was sheared away because it was growing over the curb.

因为种植灌木的距离太近,或者在错误的空间种植了错误的植物 .

你可以看到覆盖在灌木上的一层薄薄的叶子和黑暗, interior w在这里 sunlight seldom reaches.

This isn’t healthy for your shrubs, shortens their lifespan, and increases the amount of water they require.

如果这和你的灌木很像,好消息是你可以经常修复它们.

在修剪灌木

Imagine going from the shrub on the left to the one on the right?

It is possible and often a certain type of 修剪 known as ‘rejuvenation 修剪’ is the way to do this.

我在网上的 shrub 修剪 workshop 我喜欢教我的学生如何让他们修剪过度的灌木重新焕发活力.

是很重要的 不是所有的灌木都对返青修剪有反应,但是桂树 (塞纳物种)、鼠尾草 (Leucophyllum species), Ruellia, Fairy Duster (Calliandra species) 而马缨丹灌木的反应很好,只要它们不是太老和健康.

我鼓励你宣布你的景观中没有修剪成球状的灌木, 纸杯蛋糕, and squares and transform it into one filled with beauty 🙂

bougainvillea is beautiful

Do you love the beauty of bougainvillea? Many of us will agree that bougainvillea is beautiful, but many homeowners hesitate to grow them for a variety of reasons. 我听到的最常见的说法是,它们太大了,结果太乱了.

While both statements are certainly true, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the beauty of bougainvillea while minimizing its size and messiness?

Grow Bougainvillea in Pot

Let’s face it; summers in the desert can be brutal and bougainvillea are one of the lush green, flowering shrubs that thrive in intense heat and sun. So, 为什么不考虑在一个引人注目的地方增加一个,这样你就可以在温暖的季节里享受它们的美丽了?

抓住我的免费指南,无fussfree植物茁壮成长在炎热,干燥的气候!

Growing bougainvillea in pots limits their overall size, and with smaller shrubs, t在这里 is less mess. 这也使它更容易保护他们免受霜冻损害,通过移动集装箱到一个有庇护的位置, such as underneath a patio or covering them with a sheet.

容器植物

Bougainvillea make excellent 容器植物. 事实上, many gardeners who live in cold climates, only grow them in pots and move them indoors in winter. I met a gardener in Austin, Texas who treats bougainvillea like an annual 植物, 每年种植一棵新的树来取代冬天失去的旧树. Thankfully, we don’t need to do add a new one every year.

Growing bougainvillea in pots

Growing bougainvillea in pots is easy to do. Select a location in full sun w在这里 it will promote the most bloom. 九重葛是为数不多的能适应朝西环境的开花植物之一. 

长叶子花属

Provide support for them to grow upward if desired. 如果你愿意,你也可以种植三角梅作为一种紧凑的灌木形式.

深度浇水,让顶部2英寸干透后再浇水. 当土壤在浇水之间变干时,三角梅生长得最好.

container gardening

在春季,霜冻的危险过去后,施用缓释肥料. 你需要每三个月重新施肥一次,直到九月份.

在花盆中种植三角梅可以使它们足够小,当温度降到冰点时可以覆盖它们.    

所以,如果你喜欢盆栽园艺,可以考虑在花盆中种植三角梅.

Creative Container Gardening Tips

What do your 植物s look like in the middle of summer?  Do they thrive despite the hot temperatures?  

Or do they look more like this?

Heatproof Gardening tips

Throw in a heatwave, and your lovely, attractive 植物s may be suddenly struggling to survive.

Whether you live in the desert Southwest or more temperate climates, 如果你的花园没有为炎热的夏天做好准备,这可能会发生在你身上.

So, how do you know if your 植物s are handling the summer heat?  

在一天中最热的时候,在花园中散步,寻找叶子枯萎、变黄或褐变的迹象.  All of these can indicate heat stress.

好消息是,你可以为你的景观隔热,享受一个充满吸引人的植物的花园,尽管夏天的炎热天气.

Here are 5 tips to help you heatproof your garden:

#1. Use native or 植物s adapted to your climate.

Heatproof Gardening tips

This is perhaps the most important tip for having an attractive, 低维护的景观充满了美丽,全年蓬勃发展.

Native (or adapted) 植物s have unique characteristics that help them to handle the local climate, including the heat of summer AND the cold of winter.

经常, betway旗舰版下载发现自己周围到处都是植物(通常是大叶子),它们在高温下挣扎求生, 夏季.  This results in unattractive 植物s that we work hard to help sustain them until cooler temperatures arrive.  通常,这些植物最适合生长在不太炎热的气候中.

Langman圣人(Leucophyllum langmaniae)

Langman’s 圣人 (Leucophyllum langmaniae)

让betway旗舰版下载来看一个例子,这个朗曼的圣人拥有的适应性,使它能够在没有过度压力的情况下应对充足的阳光和110+温度.

Notice that the flowers have small hairs.  So do the leaves, giving them a slightly grayish cast.  These tiny hairs help to reflect the sun’s rays, which lowers the temperature of the leaves and flowers.

Mexican Honeysuckle (Justicia spicigera) and Shrubby Germander 'Azurea' (Teucrium fruticans 'Azurea')

Mexican Honeysuckle (Justicia spicigera) and Shrubby Germander ‘Azurea’ (Teucrium fruticans ‘Azurea’)

植物应对高温的另一种方式是长出小叶子, which limits the amount of water lost, which helps them to deal with hot, 干燥温度.

Here in the desert Southwest, t在这里 are many native 植物s that are used as well as 植物s from Australia and other arid regions, which have similar climates.

#2. 提供阴凉

Heatproof Gardening tips

Adding shade to the garden can provide relief from the hot sun as well as cooling air temperatures.  树荫有利于植物,也可以为房子提供凉爽.

*It is important to note that it can be hard to grow many 植物s in dense shade – especially flowering ones.  然而, 使用能提供过滤遮荫的树木,既能提供足够的遮荫,又能给植物提供足够的阳光.

#3 水很深的 and infrequently

Heatproof Gardening tips

植物需要水来生存,毫无疑问,它们在夏天最需要水.  然而,betway旗舰版下载经常给他们浇太多的水,太浅了.

Shallow watering keeps roots close to the surface of the soil, w在这里 the soil temperatures are hot, and the water dries up quickly.

深层浇水是灌溉植物的合适方法,因为在土壤较凉、湿润的地方,深层根系可以生长.  As a result, you do not need to water as often.

“经常浇水的植物能更好地抵御高温.”

灌木应该浇水到2英尺深,多年生植物和地被植物应该浇水到18英寸深.  你可以通过在土壤中插入一根钢筋来确定你浇水的深度(在你浇水之后),看看你需要灌溉多长时间.  平均2小时是灌水到所需深度的时间.  

在我的在线课程中, Desert Gardening 101, I teach my students that watering deeply is as important as the time of day that you water. The best time to water is early in the morning.  在下午给植物浇水不是很有用,因为植物在那个时候将它们的资源分配给在高温下生存的植物,所以它们不能有效地吸收水分.  

#4 Mulch around your 植物s

Heatproof Gardening tips

不足为奇的是, 护根物有各种各样的好处,不仅仅是对花园的防热.

在夏季,护根物有助于降低土壤温度,同时保持水分——这对帮助植物在高温下茁壮成长至关重要.

A bonus is that they also help to prevent weeds from taking root.

Heatproof Gardening tips

让betway旗舰版下载花一分钟重新思考一下什么是优秀的覆盖物.  

While shredded bark and wood chips may come to mind, did you know that fallen leaves, pine needles and even fallen flowers can also serve as a mulch?  That is how nature does it.

So, the next time you are tempted to whip out your leaf blower, how about directing it toward the base of your 植物s w在这里 the leaves and flowers can serve as a mulch?  当植物腐烂时,它们还可以帮助改善周围的土壤.

#5 Ditch flowers in favor of succulents in containers

Heatproof Gardening tips

而在秋天,在容器里种漂亮的花是相对简单的, winter and spring-summer can be another matter entirely.  通常,在整个炎热的夏天,很难在花盆中种植开花的一年生植物.

原因是盆栽植物根部周围的土壤比在地下生长的温度高.  对于外层6英寸的土壤来说尤其如此,它会随着空气温度和热容器的升温而升温.  结果,一年生植物会在夏天枯萎并难以开花.

多肉植物是全年享受吸引人的容器种植的好方法, 不仅仅是在夏天.  它们储存水的能力使它们成为容器的绝佳选择.

Heatproof Gardening tips

If you want to grow something else besides succulents, how about trying heat-tolerant shrubs? Bougainvillea does great in pots as does lantana.

Heatproof Gardening tips

Another tip for containers is to leave them empty in the 夏季 and wait until fall to 植物 them.  

当考虑到在炎热的气候中在容器中种植植物, bigger is better – at least 2 feet wide at the top.  锅越大, the more soil and t在这里fore, more insulation for the roots from the hot outer zone.

**So what can you do if you do have 植物s that are struggling in the heat – particularly during a heatwave?  Other than replacing them, 你可以为他们提供临时的遮阳,比如在庭院里放置一把椅子,这样就可以保护他们免受下午阳光的照射.  晚上在植物和周围区域喷洒少量的水可以帮助降低温度——不要在太阳出来的时候这样做, or you may burn the foliage.

How to Help Your Plants Survive a Heatwave

harvested-peaches

我喜欢桃子. 每年五月,我都盼着树上的桃子成熟成熟. While May might seem a little early for peaches, in the low desert garden, this is when they are ready for being harvested. 

picking peaches from tree for 桃子醋

T在这里 are several things that I like to make with my peaches. Of course, peach jam, peach cobbler, and pie make the list, but also something a bit unusual.

几年前,在我读了这本书之后,我受到了制作桃醋的启发, “The Backyard betway苹果下载stead”.  所以,你可能想知道为什么我想自制果醋? 果醋是我自制沙拉酱中最喜欢的配料之一.

It is very easy to make fruit vinegar – especially when compared to making jam out of peaches.  

You will need the following:

桃子

白葡萄酒醋

带盖玻璃瓶

过滤器

纸巾

remove the skins from the peaches for 桃子醋

First, remove the skins from the peaches. 如果桃子很熟,你可以把它们剥成大片. Or, use a paring knife to peel them as you would an apple. 

chop the peaches for 桃子醋

Roughly chop the peaches into 1-inch sections. Plan on using 2 – 3 peaches per pint-sized jar.

chopped peaches and pour white wine vinegar

Add the chopped peaches and pour white wine vinegar over them until it reaches the top of your jar.

桃子醋

把桃子和醋的混合物放在黑暗的地方4个星期——我用我的储藏室. At least once a week, shake the jar to help mix the contents.

桃子醋

一个月后,将混合物倒入过滤器,取出桃子. You can see that the white wine vinegar has taken on the beautiful color and flavor of the peaches.

桃子醋

用咖啡过滤器(或纸巾)过滤桃子醋,去除剩余的桃子固体.

桃子醋

*I’ve found that paper towels work better than coffee filters.

peach vinegar pour into clean jars with lids

After straining the peach vinegar – pour into clean jars with lids. They can be stored in your pantry for 3 months.

水蜜醋用来做水果沙拉的时候味道很好,也可以做成猪肉酱. It also makes a delicious vinaigrette and marinades. Some people even drizzle it over peach ice cream.

Don’t have a peach tree? 没有问题. You can use peaches from the grocery store or your farmers market. Just make sure they are ripe.

我最喜欢用水蜜醋做我祖母著名的沙拉酱. 这个食谱在betway旗舰版下载家已经流传了好几年了我要打破所有的规矩冒着被逐出家门的风险把它告诉你. 它很容易制作,制作出一种老少皆宜的甜调味品.

GRANDMA SMITH’S HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSING

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

UPDATE: This blog post originally was published six-years-ago, and I still like to grow 蔬菜 in pots. 很难相信我的园艺帮手现在16岁了,还会开车!

I hope you enjoy it!

I started growing 蔬菜 in pots earlier this year, 这道菜很简单,蔬菜也很美味诱人,所以我又做了一遍.

上周,我妈妈带我最小的孩子去托儿所,给我挑了一些植物.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

你知道?  This is one of the happiest sights in my world 😉

我儿子凯急着把花盆里的植物都拔出来.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

All my summer 蔬菜 had been pulled a while ago, and all that was left was the Vinca that I had 植物ed.  我意识到长春花看起来有点黄,我承认我没有给它们施肥(今年夏天我在里面冬眠.

Kai got to work at pulling out the flowers.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

他用手铲把根弄松,这样他就能把长春花拔出来.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

然后他用铲子“砰”的一声把根球弄松,让土重新回到锅里.  You don’t want to ‘throw away’ good soil by leaving it around the roots of 植物s you are pulling out.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

我觉得凯做得很好把泥土从树根里拔了出来,不是吗?

**长春花将越冬在我的区9花园,但不会花太多.  I prefer to treat them as an annual.

Now for the fun part – 植物ing!

I added some more potting mix (not potting soil, which can get soggy), mixed with some compost to each container.

Then each pot was 植物ed with a combination of green leaf lettuce, purple leaf lettuce, 大蒜, 菠菜, 莳萝, 欧芹, 旱金莲的种子, 和矮牵牛.

Grow Vegetables in Pots!

In just a few weeks, the lettuce and 菠菜 will be ready to start clipping the leaves for salads.  The 大蒜 cloves that I 植物ed will form whole heads of 大蒜, which will be ready in late spring.   

I will start snipping off 莳萝 and 欧芹 soon as well.

creating edible container garden

Garlic, leaf lettuce, 菠菜, 欧芹, 和矮牵牛

花和蔬菜一起种植看起来很好,我总是包括一些.  旱金莲的种子很容易生长,它们的叶子和花都可以食用.  牵牛花(和旱金莲)是蔬菜很好的伴生植物,因为它们有助于控制有害昆虫吃你的蔬菜.

hidden rose garden in the desert

我是一个自称的玫瑰爱好者,每当我遇到玫瑰花丛茁壮成长时,我就会感到高兴, arid climate and I also enjoy unexpected discoveries in the garden. 在最近一次拜访一位新客户的家中,我发现了沙漠中一个隐藏的玫瑰园.

As I walked up to the front door, 我正在为我的咨询做准备,并注意到她的前面的景观有一个很好的框架在适当的地方成熟的植物.

palo verde trees and saguaro cacti

Upon walking into the backyard, I was greeted by expansive views of the desert, dotted with palo verde trees and saguaro cacti. 就像前面, the landscape had good bones but, needed some attention to the subtler points, such as adding color.

A Hidden Rose Garden in the Desert

After discussing my recommendations for the backyard, we started toward the large side garden, 这时我瞥见了女主人的骄傲与喜悦——她的玫瑰园.

A Hidden Rose Garden in the Desert

I experienced pure joy when I saw this lovely garden, 开满了五颜六色的玫瑰,快乐地生长在沙漠中. Groups of roses were 植物ed in beds, with amended soil and edged with rocks that created a natural look.

The owner inherited these roses, and she has put her green thumb to good use, but t在这里 are other factors that affect her success with roses. 

纯果乐了

纯果乐了

First, the roses are located in designated beds, with amended soil, such as compost and steer manure. 第二个, and perhaps most importantly for a desert garden, they are located in an area that has filtered sunlight. While roses can grow in full sun, they can struggle in the summer, and appreciate some relief. 第三,她在春天和秋天用玫瑰肥料喂养她的玫瑰.

A Hidden Rose Garden in the Desert

Although I lean toward using 植物s that look great with little fuss, I make an exception for roses. I have grown roses for over 25 years, 现在我正在为玫瑰种植者测试新的玫瑰,看看它们在低矮的沙漠花园中的表现如何. 

I firmly believe that if a specific type of 植物 brings you joy, then it’s worth a bit of extra work, 就像玫瑰.

对于betway旗舰版下载这些喜欢种植玫瑰的人来说,一月可能是一个艰难的时期. 你为什么要问? 因为betway旗舰版下载不得不修剪它们,通常是在它们还在开花的时候. 生活在温和的冬季气候意味着玫瑰继续开花,很难出去把灌木修剪成光秃秃的树枝(藤条). 但, it must be done. 

Winter Rose 修剪

My ‘Olivia Rose’ David Austin shrub rose before 修剪 in January.

I am often asked why should we prune rose bushes back in winter, while they may still be blooming and t在这里 are several reasons why.

Winter 修剪 helps to keep roses healthy by removing old, unproductive canes (rose stems/branches), 消除疾病和越冬昆虫,可以造成损害. It also helps them to produce MORE flowers than if not pruned.

这是最后一个事实,我一遍又一遍地重复我自己,当我修剪我的大, beautiful rose bushes in winter. 当然,我会把剩下的花放在花瓶里,这样我就可以在室内欣赏它们了.

Winter Rose 修剪

丑不是吗? 但, 修剪已经做了很多好事-我已经摆脱了小, twiggy growth as well as a few dead canes. I still need to clean up the fallen leaves, which is w在这里 fungal diseases like to lurk only to spread again when the weather warms again. 修剪 also stimulates new growth that will produce lots of lovely roses in the coming months. 我用我 Corona hand pruners to prune back my roses.

Before you know it, my ‘Olivia Rose’ bush, as well as my other roses, will be in full bloom again.

修剪 roses isn’t as hard as it looks and I encourage you not to be afraid of it and if you make a mistake, 别担心, roses are awfully forgiving of bad 修剪. 我在之前的一篇文章中写过如何修剪玫瑰,你可以读到 在这里

Grow Amaryllis Outdoors in the Desert Southwest

*This blog post contains affiliate links, 这样你就可以更方便地订购外面种孤挺花的原料了. If you click through and make a purchase, I may receive a commission (at no additional cost to you). 

你是否曾经想过,当你的孤挺花凋谢后该如何处理? Instead of throwing it out, you can 植物 it outdoors, w在这里 it will bloom year to year, even if you live in the Desert Southwest.

Grow Amaryllis Outdoors in the Desert Southwest

Around the holiday season, amaryllis bulbs can be purchased in most grocery stores, 托儿所, 或在线.

这个假期,我一直在欣赏我的孤挺花的美丽花朵,也很感激厨房窗台上那鲜艳的色彩. 很快,花就会凋谢,我会准备好把它移植到外面. 

Here is 如何 do it:

1. Cut off the faded flower, but keep the stem and leaves, which will continue to produce food for the amaryllis bulbs. Don’t worry if the stem oozes sap after cutting, this is normal. Once the stem and leaves turn yellow and die, cut them off.

2. Select an area out in the garden for your amaryllis. 他们将需要一个有遮荫的区域或几个小时的早晨阳光. 它应该有肥沃的花园土壤,这可以提供与盆栽土修正.  If you have a flower bed or vegetable garden, you can 植物 the amaryllis in t在这里, OR you can 植物 it in a container – I love this 蓝色的.

3. 一旦冰点的危险过去,就到了种植的时候了. At the bottom of the 植物ing hole, add some 灯泡肥料, following package directions. 在沙漠气候, it’s important to bury the bulb to the top, so that only a 1/2 inch remains above the soil. 很快就会冒出新叶,为花园增添美丽的色彩.

4. Whenever leafy growth is present, 当土壤表层干燥时浇水,每月使用通用肥料 液体肥料 at 1/2 the recommended strength. 

5. Amaryllis typically bloom in spring when grown outdoors. After the blooms fade, remove them and allow the leaves to remain until they turn yellow and die. 在这一点上,添加一层覆盖物,只留下1/2英寸露出土壤. Decrease the watering so that soil remains just slightly moist.

So, 简而言之, water and fertilize when they are blooming, or leaves are growing, 叶子枯死时剪掉——停止施肥,减少浇水.

很容易看出为什么顶红花在室内是最受欢迎的花,如果你把它们种在户外,对betway旗舰版下载这些生活在西南沙漠的人来说,就更受欢迎了.

Have you ever grown an amaryllis outside?
