You know that the internet allows people to share their interests and communicate with each other. All they have to do is turn on the computer. My current hobby (family-first) is gardening, which began with buying a house. Beware, gardeners were once clueless. We continue to learn new techniques and tips every day. You can learn to design a beautiful garden by reading books on color and gardening designs.
Gardeners know that a garden never ends, but is always in progress. Turner Verchere, my grandfather, gave me the challenge of growing “Meconopsis”, a Himalayan blue poppy from seed. To see if I was truly a gardener, he wanted to test me. The seed that he gave me allowed me to germinate more than 100 plants. After this experience I really enjoy raising plants by seed. With family taking up most of my free time, I finally broke down and bought plants at my favorite nurseries. I still germinate some species from seeds.
modern gardeners use new technologies to maintain an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Gardeners can use the flow meter to regulate water usage and adopt new tools while maintaining their traditional methods.
My first design was the source of most of my knowledge. It taught me a lot about many things, from the types of plants to conditions. Here I am, with my new home and hardpan dirt.
The problem was fixed by adding 50 yards of compost. Lot size is approximately 15K square feet. With full sun, I am in Zone 7-8. My garden currently contains a number of theme gardens, which total a large amount of plants. She would rather have more furniture.
The following are the different theme gardens in my garden. The image numbers will show you where each theme garden is planted. The perennial flower garden has a number of seasonal images for you to view.
