  Glad's are a beautiful flower the will accentuate any flower when used in background .Named for the shape of their leaves, gladioli – from the Latin word “gladius,” meaning sword – have a history than spans from Africa to the Mediterranean. Symbolizing strength and moral integrity, gladioli also represents infatuation, that they pierce the giver’s heart with passion. Striking and colorful with towering stems, this August flower calls for emotions and passion. A 40th wedding anniversary flower that conveys the drama of Roman gladiators Dandeny!

Lupin's

 One year for Mother's Day my daughter bought me some lupin's. Lupin's are another flower that once you start them they produce like a wild flower. I started with three and now they cover along the whole fence line. They are available in a wide variety of colors. Lupin's are maintenance free. Just plant them, water them and watch them grow. A must for every flower garden.

Geranium's

 Geranium's are a beautiful plant that gives me a lot of pleasure all summer long. You can buy them in a select variety of colors. My favourite color is coral. It is a very fibrant color. My mother loves geranium's I guess I inherited it from her. A trick she taught me is if you pick off a few leaves a day it will grow fuller and produce more flowers. Geranium's are nice planted with a spike behind it. Every Mother's day this is what buy my Mother a beautiful Geranium. Her favourite color is red. Geranium's enjoy a light watering on a daily basis.I like to give them a light fertilizing once every two weeks with organic miracle grow The Ivy geranium is one of the most beautiful of geranium's.

Soil Preparation
Posted On 29-04-2010 , 12:00 PM
 To be successful when gardening all plants thrive from the soil. Soil preparation is very important to have vigorous results. When I prepare my soil I start by using my compost first, mixing it in my gardening beds. Lime and bone meal are the next ingredients I use to prepare my soil. Lime sweetens the earth meaning it controls the acid and bone meal promotes growth. Organic no fertilizers. After this I am ready to plant my organic vegetable garden along with my flower beds. This has got to be the first rule of thumb nothing will grow well if you have poor soil. Sometimes over the winter if the soil hardens I just add a little peat moss to soften the ground so roots have a better chance of rooting. Roots will struggle if soil is to hard.
