The costs of learning horticulture | Gardener State Bruce Crawford View Comments Based upon my experience, I suspect the average gardener kills a plant at least three times before understanding the proper conditions that lead to success. It is frustrating and discouraging, but simply one of the costs of learning horticulture. I mention this since to my dismay I recently killed three pitcher plants, botanically called sarracenia. These are fascinating plants found growing in peat bogs. To accommodate for the infertile soils of a bog, the plants digest insects. The leaves are rolled into tall tubes or pitchers with an overarching lid at the top and protease rich liquids at the bottom. The plants attract insects through nectaries along the upper rim of the pitcher, from which the insects slip and fall into the vessel. The overhanging lid hides the sun and disorients the insects who eventually tire, fall into the liquid and die. The enzymes partially dissolve ....
Thank goodness for tough plants | Gardener State Bruce Crawford Contributor I would not like to be a plant in late April. One day the weather is sunny and near 70 degrees, only to find the next day brings thunderstorms, hail and howling winds, followed a few days later with temperatures near 80 degrees. Undeniably, plants are tough. Of course, some plants appear tougher than others, simply because they can take root in places that seem totally inhospitable or because they last and proliferate while others fade. Focus for a moment on tulips. I love the color of a spring tulip display, but I do not plant them due to their typically short lifespan. However, there are a few tough exceptions. I have watched tulipa tarda or the late tulip, whose botanical name has been adjusted to the tongue twisting tulipa urumiensis, not only survive for over 20 years, but actually spread. ....
Gardening is a key to better health | Gardener State Bruce Crawford Contributor Late March into early April is certainly a fickle time of the year. One day it is sunny and 65 degrees, only to be followed by howling winds and temperatures hovering in the low 40s. This in turn is followed by a chilly rain with the occasional dusting of snow. Regardless, I am not complaining, as April is sure to bring more warmth than cold and a return to gardening. Regardless of the weather, there is always one group of plants that never fail to disappoint – bulbs! Whether white, soft blue, bright yellow or purple, they bring wonderful color to the late winter and early spring garden. Snowdrops, with their pendant white flower, and the golden yellow Winter Aconites are always the first to appear, quickly followed by the bright blue Tommasini s Crocus and the luscious purple of Spring Meadow Saffron. ....
