Mixed in the many different beds are a wide variety of my favourite perennials. Many of my gardening friends and I have traded slips of perennials, lilies and more over the past 23 years. Sharing plants, tubers or bulbs is a fun and inexpensive way to add more variety and an extra splash of colour to any garden.Sharon (lazydazy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04975289843324288466noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055219842764285968.post-25612128953394128212011-02-04T15:36:00.105-05:002011-02-21T11:07:39.446-05:00The joy of our small pond<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I enjoy listening to the tranquil sounds of water cascading over our waterfall and slowly trickling it's way down the creek type pathway into the pond below. There is nothing as relaxing as sitting on the deck, watching the goldfish search for food and listening to the frogs serenade us with their own special tune. Our pond was originally built in 1991 and was about 10 by 12 feet and 34 inches deep. The original project was simply a pond on it's own as we didn't add the rest of the water features until later on in 1994. It is wise to use a good quality pond liner when you first start your pond. I have to admit that I did not use a good quality liner and had to replace it a few years later. Most garden centers carry these flexible liners as the backyard pond industry has grown to be an extremely popular one. Solid, custom made, formed ponds are also available in many shapes and sizes to suit any landscape design.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Every year I feel the urge to change or modify a few things mainly because the frost heaves many of the rocks surrounding the pond. Anyone who has a pond, whether a small, half barrel size or a larger, natural pond never seem to be quite satisfied with the look they have created. It is difficult not to keep moving things around but I think my pond is finally (maybe almost) just the way I want it. The pond now is about 12 by 16 feet but that is as big as it can ever be because it is fairly close to our house and we have simply run out of room. The bog area is 8 feet long by 3 feet wide.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A week or so after the lining and pond plants were in place and settled, we bought a dozen or so feeder goldfish about 2 to 3 inches long at the local pet store. Goldfish are valued for their many different colours as well as their adaptability to our growing conditions. We place our pond pump (used to run the waterfall in summer) into the pond with the attached hose just a few inches below the water surface during the winter months. This allows the water to bubble and keep the pond open about a foot in diameter. This helps the fish get enough oxygen to survive our Zone 4+ in South Eastern Ontario. Goldfish tend to grow to their environment and the size of the pond itself so they can reach up to 16 inches long. Most of our goldfish are about 8 to 10" long.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We added some pretty, pale pink waterlilies the first year then purchased a beautiful salmon coloured lily called "Cherokee" a few years later. They are a gorgeous addition to any pond but be warned that they will have to be split after 3 or 4 years. I have tried a few different ways to grow waterlilies in different size pots but they outgrow them too quickly. Just a plain, plastic kitty litter type of container has worked out the best for me. I also use 24" plastic window boxes with great success. I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">place small, rounded stones in the very bottom then add the lily roots. I cover the roots with a fairly heavy soil that has quite a bit of clay then place some round stones over the soil to keep it from washing away. I had a few "Bulrushes" for the first few years but they got to be too much for my small pond as they are quite invasive.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In 1996 we added the waterfall and a small stream that trickles</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> down to the pond. I wanted to have a small bog area where I could enjoy some of the interesting plants that are moisture loving. My "Marsh Marigolds" with their bright yellow flowers and shiny, rounded leaves are the first to show off their intense colour in spring. I have had good luck with "Astilbe plants, "Joe Pye", "Flowering Rush", "Blue Lobelia" and a bit of "Creeping Jenny". I love the many different colours and varieties of Iris that thrive in the bog garden. Blue/mauve wild irises, and multi coloured Siberians have narrow, sword-like leaves and showy flowers that bloom from mid-spring to mid-sumer. My tall, yellow irises have variegated yellow and green leaves and are a real showpiece. A bog is a wonderful addition to the edge of the pond but remember to keep the water in the two bodies from mixing as the bog needs to be slow draining.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of my favourite floating plants is the "Water Hawthorn" as it produces long, floating leaves from a submerged tuber. Fragrant white flowers stand just above the water and bloom on and off from May until mid September. They are planted in fairly large pots and sit on a ledge along the side of the pond. We put "Parrot's Feather", an oxygenating perennial in the small holding tank at the top of the waterfall and also along the stream and trailing into the pond. "Parrot's Feather" is a prolific growing plant so there is always lots to share with other pond loving friends. It's green, feathery foliage rises several inches above the water surface. Their roots provide a wonderful spawning area for our goldfish. "Arrowhead" plants are grown in submerged pots along the ledge at the sides of the pond and can also be planted in the bog. Their pretty, apple blossom type flowers bloom for weeks. I also have an interesting foliage plant, growing in a submerged pot, whose leaves look like spruce tree branches, but are very soft. I am unsure of it's name but usually have extra pieces to share with friends every spring.</span><br />

</span></div></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Oxygenating or submerged plants are critical to your pond as they help reduce algae by taking up carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen to plants and fish too. One bunch per square foot of water surface is sufficient. Fish love to hide and spawn in among these plants. There are numerous tropical plants that can be grown in your pond but they must be removed before the first frost. I keep my pretty, potted "Black Taro" plant indoors, under lights in a shallow tray over the winter.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Raccoons, Blue Herons and Kingfishers are a few of the unwelcome predators who attempt to go after the goldfish. I have had a few encounters with the odd garter snake going after small frogs or small fish but only a few times over the years. The frogs, toads and fish all help keep the mosquito population down. I wish they could do the same thing with our pesty black flies.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It would be wise to check your local building codes and zoning regulations regarding putting in a pond on your property. It is best to avoid unpleasant surprises. I hope you enjoy your pond as much as we have for the past 20 years.</span></div></div>Sharon (lazydazy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04975289843324288466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055219842764285968.post-23561258991828247722011-01-28T18:51:00.111-05:002011-02-24T15:21:39.260-05:00Amazing Asiatic Lilies<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Their vast number of varieties keep me busy looking for something new to add to my collections every year. The many lilies mixed in with my hardy perennials slowly transform our gardens into a kaleidoscope of colours from May until late September. The best approach is to attempt to have as many flowers as possible blooming so your garden is never dull or flowerless. The more you grow the prettier it will be.</span></span></td></tr>

Many of my lilies have come from friends who have no idea what the real names of the plant are. If anyone knows the true name, please share. Many lilies look like one variety but may not be that one at all. I check Daylily sites whenever possible to see if I am able to match the blooms to the plants. Although each flower only lasts one day there are many buds that open each day keeping the plant showing off each bloom. I try my best to deadhead the spent blooms daily and once the plant has finished it's final flower I simply cut the tall stems right down as far as possible.</span></span><br />

We all</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> purchased a few </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">different colours and varieties of his Daylilies, making </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">it possible for us to share </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">small root pieces called tubers. All of these healthy plants have</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> managed to survive the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">splitting and transplanting we did in the early fall, as you can see by the numerous pictures I have posted here. Barry also grows amazing varieties of Hostas that are a feast for the eyes, grown under the magnificent, old maple trees surrounding his home. We also saw our very first, Giant Oriental lilies too. Some of these tall plants were close to 7 1/2 feet tall with beautiful and bright coloured blooms that were truly breathtaking. No matter where we looked there was something different to see and it wasn't easy to leave this amazing property. We hope to return to Bonnie Brae this spring to see what new plants he will have on display. Spring can't come soon enough for all of us.</span><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I started my gardens in spring of 1988 and slowly formed it into an Old English style over the years. I have a real passion for lilies and irises as well as numerous other perennials. A few perennials, annuals and some veggies are started under lights in our basement in late March to early April so they will have a head start in our Zone 4+ climate. We enjoy planting a mid-size veggie garden with many varieties of tomatoes, in shades of yellow, pink and red as well as small, yellow, pear-shaped and sweet, red, cherry style. Yellow and dark purple beans are always a staple as well as carrots, Swiss chard, cucumbers, squash, cantalope and watermelon. We also grow many of our own herbs such as basil, garlic chives, rosemary, tarragon, thyme and oregano. We enjoy being able to walk out to the garden and pick our fresh produce during the summer months. There is nothing like the first, ripe tomato.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I always had a vision of how I hoped my gardens would eventually look and slowly, with the help of my son's Jaye & Bryan and my hubby Paul, things started to come together. We hauled three pick-up truck loads of huge, limestone rocks from my in-laws farm and made a long, raised flowerbed along the length of our main driveway. We started with a Purple Sand Cherry shrub planted in the middle of the bed then slowly added Creeping Phlox, Cranesbill and Daylilies through-out. The mixed colours of Creeping Phlox (Phlox, stolonifera) are very beautiful in mid May through to mid June. Colours range from white to delicate pinks as well as mauve and magenta. Cranesbil, (Geranium sanguineum) continues to bloom right through to frost. If clipped back in late summer the dense, creeping mats will re-bloom a second time.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are among the most adaptable perennials as they will grow in almost any climate and any soil type in Zones 3 to 10. They do prefer not to have soggy roots. These sun loving plants come in a wide range of colours, from a pale, lemon yellow to a deep, flaming red and deep, rich purple. They can start to bloom as early as late spring and some continue blooming right into the fall. Some have wonderful scents that gently waft through the air while others are simply breathtaking with their wide range of colour variations. These amazing plants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, some with ruffled edges and sometimes with double rows of petals. Their trumpet shaped flowers can easily grow 1 to 10 inches with heights reaching well over 4 feet. To keep them looking their best they should be dead-headed daily. Daylilies are easy to propagate and if the extra soil is washed off the roots it is easy to see where they should be split.They do their best if the clumps are divided every 3 to 5 years. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We had been trying to come up with a suitable name for our gardens for a few years but nothing seemed to pop out at us. My dear friend Carole C. wrote a beautiful poem for my birthday and the name came easily after reading her words. Thanks Carole for your encouragement, inspiration and amazing thoughts. To have a friend such as you is to have one of the sweetest gifts that life can bring.</span></div></div></div>Sharon (lazydazy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04975289843324288466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055219842764285968.post-42765017623317123542010-12-30T16:11:00.002-05:002011-01-17T12:40:19.311-05:00How did the name "Friendship Garden" come to be?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>If I were to name your garden</b></span><br />
