Good Afternoon Great-Gardeners,
Happy Mother's Day Week! May all the Mothers out there have a relaxing gardening week.
In this issue, leaf die back, growing beautiful containers and what's in bloom in the garden.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. As always, have a great-gardening day.
Sincerely,
Holly |

The last major frost hit some trees pretty hard, including a few of mine. The trees leafed out and then the cold temps hit causing them to get frosted and the leaves to die back. They may look dead, but if you notice in the picture the tree is shooting new leaves out.
The extent of the damage to the tree will not be known until later on. It may have a few dead branches, which will need trimmed out later when it finishes leafing out again, but it should make a full recovery. |

| Creating Your Own Fabulous Containers |
|
| Everyone wants to be the envy of the neighborhood with gorgeous planters adorning their front porch. Here are some simple tips to create that fabulous planter that you have always dreamed of. |
|
| Start with a new or cleaned sanitized container. Old potting soil should be removed as it may be contaminated from what grew in it previously. There is no container too large or too small but ideally it should have good drainage. |
|
|
|
Fill the container with a quality soil-less potting mix, preferably one containing slow release fertilizer.
We highly recommend our Wilson’s Container Mix, which is the same mix that we use to grow all of our great looking plants in the garden center. |
|
| Cheap potting soils are very costly in the long run, as the plants will never be as beautiful as they could be and will require extra fertilizer and care. We want you to have maximum success for your efforts. |
|
Use the proper ratio of plants in proportion to pot size. Some suggested guidelines (depending on the size of the plants)
- Small Container (8-10” size): 3 plants
- Medium Container (12-14″): 5 plants
- Large Container (16-20″): 7 plants or more
|
|
| After determining the proper number of plants, choose those that require the same growing conditions. i.e. sun/shade and moist/dry requirements. |
|
|
|
|
Pick tall “thrillers”, mounding “fillers” and low or trailing “spillers” to balance out the container and give dimension.
Example from top picture:
Thriller - Angelonia
Filler - Lantana
Spiller - Trailing Petunia |
|
| Set the plants in the proper locations in your pot before planting to get an idea of the look. |
|
| Plant the plants into the potting soil no deeper than the top of their soil line. Planting too deeply can kill many kinds of plants. |
|
|
| Water the container well. Check moisture levels daily. In hot, dry weather, containers often need watered more than once a day if they are grown outside. A drip irrigation system with a timer will make your life easier and allow you to be away for extended periods. |
|
| Feeding the plants periodically with water soluble fertilizer will ensure vigorous healthy growth and more flowers. We highly recommend Bud and Bloom. |
|
| What's blooming in the garden? These are the most asked about plants that are blooming at this time. |
|
Crabapple
Eye-popping blooms in spring followed by bird loving berries in the fall. Crabapples of today are not like the ones your grandparents use to have. These easy to care for trees add interest to the garden with little mess.

Columbine
(Aquilegia)
Deer Resistant, Spring Blooming, Shade Loving
Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw.
The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together.
