From Ann Million's garden
Ann Million is Sugar Creek Gardens'
resident rosarian and a longtime garden enthusiast. You can tour her
garden! Ladies and gentlemen, the drought is over! Yahoo! We actually had winter this year with precipitation -- snow and now rain, rain, rain. Can't complain! The weather I can ponder as I consider what 2008 will bring to my garden. The first work I did on a warm day in March was to prune my shrub roses and my one climber. For me, this is a three step process: first I remove the dead branches; second, I remove any branches that are growing toward the center of the plant, ( a rarity); third, I remove any branches rubbing against one another (the weaker branch gets the ax). For the climber, also shorten the laterals. |
The tropicals are here!
Bougainvillea, mandevilla, large ferns, Mexican petunias, banana plants, sago palms, canna, Mexican flame vine, passion vine, jasmine, gardenias, caladiums, elephant ears, brugmansia, firecracker plant, sapphire showers, moonflowers, morning glories, hyacinth bean vine, black-eyed susan vine, and MUCH MORE! You'll be surprised by how many plants we can fit into our little nursery!
