7月5日 July 5This is the time to cut back fall blooming perennials. Sedums, asters and chrysanthemums should all be pinched back to promote compact, well branched growth.
If you have roses, cut off any spent blooms and give them a good shot of organic fertilizer or a top dressing of compost. 6月12日 Late SpringAnd many perennials are in full bloom. The baptisia is one of our native flowers. It grows well in sunny dry locations. The peonies and iris should be in flower by now. Once the iris have finished flowering, you can divide and/or relocate them. Dig up a big clump, chop it into several pieces, discard the middle section that has no shoots, and replant the new pieces very close to the surface of the soil. Peonies should not be disturbed until October.
If your forsythia, lilacs and viburnums have finished blooming, you can dead head, then prune the entire shrub. Remember the order of pruning:
No overall haircuts for these shrubs. Cut out entire branches so that the plant maintains a natural form. Remember to leave the foliage of spring bulbs to die back naturally. When the leaves are completely brown, pull them up. 4月22日 April 22Now is the time to prune all shrubs that flower on new wood. These include potentilla, dogwood, rose, some hydrangea, some clematis, and spirea. Many of these, such as potentilla and spirea can be cut right back to a height of 6 inches. For advice on pruning roses go to www.canadianrosesociety.org For pruning hydrangea check out www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com
This is a good time to renovate lawns. Top dress with a thin layer of compost then overseed with a high quality seed mixture. Any time in the next month would be suitable.
The most important garden task is to add a few inches of compost to all planting beds. Don't worry about digging it in - the earthworms will take care of it. 4月2日 Pruning perennialsThe weather has finally warmed up and the snow has melted. It's still too early to prune many woody plants, but it is a good time to cut back most perennials. Sedum, grasses, coneflowers, hostas etc. can all be cut right back to where the new growth appears. Do not prune lavender or Russian Sage for at least another month.
Although the soil should not generally be worked this early, this is a good time to plant bare root roses. Order from Hortico or Pickering Nurseries, get them in the ground and mound up the soil. They should be well established by flowering time in June. 3月20日 Spring is hereBut you would never know it from the weather. This winter has been long and cold, with heavier than normal snowfall. Usually by this time I have ventured outside to prune roses, hydrangea and clematis, and cut back perennials. Not so this year. It will be a few more weeks before any tasks can be carried out in the garden. The good news is that the increased snow cover helped protect plants against the winter winds, and the snow melt will go into groundwater stores.
If you just can't wait to see some growth, try growing some fast sprouting herbs on a sunny windowsill. So far I have chervil and Thai basil started. Germination occurs in a week or less, and it's immensely satisfying to see the fresh green leaves. |
