Dig and Divide

“There are no happier folks than plant lovers, and none more generous than those who garden.” Ernest Wilson

Many years ago, I was considering adopting two miniature ponies. When I visited the ranch where they were living there was a small pond surrounded by a flush of gorgeous pink blooms that I had never seen before. When I asked the property owner what they were, she told me they were Naked Ladies, a bulb that boasted bright green spear-like foliage in the winter. When the foliage died at the end of spring, it was necessary to remove the brown leaves, leaving the turtle- shaped bulbs slightly protruding from the ground. Indicating that her Naked Ladies needed dividing, she dug up a bulb, instructing me to plant it in the sun “anywhere”, irrespective of soil condition.  “Wait for next summer’s surprise,” she said. I followed her directions, and that one bulb has evolved into many hundreds that blanket my hillside in a sea of pink perfection. Over the years I have divided, dug, and donated bulbs to many friends, offering them a summer surprise. Dig and divide! It makes me so happy!

This time of year is a perfect time to divide a wide variety of bulbs and perennials. Besides increasing the number of plants in your garden, divisions can be given to other gardeners. Dividing overcrowded plants will give the remaining plants room to grow, maintaining their health, and rejuvenating your beds.  

Before you begin, water the area well a few days before digging. With a shovel or garden fork, dig a large area to remove a clump with the root ball, bulbs, or rhizomes intact. Once out of the ground, shake off the excess dirt and cut or pull apart individual crowns. For perennials, make sure you have roots and leaves. Bulbs and rhizomes need roots attached. To avoid having the roots dry out, plant immediately in another area at the same depth and water deeply. To conserve moisture, add mulch to these newly divided plants.

Overcrowded and overgrown plants will not bloom profusely, however, not all perennials or bulbs benefit from dividing. It’s best to leave Baptista, goatsbeard, lupine, milkweed, Russian sage, peony, red hot poker, bleeding heart, Hellebores, lavender, verbena, and oriental poppies alone.

Plants that need dividing every few years (two to five years) for peak performance include:

Agapanthus

Bearded and Dutch iris

Daylilies

Daffodils and Narcissus

Hosta

Lilies

Monarda

Phlox

Cymbidium orchids

Astilbe

Rudbeckia

Echinacea

Yarrow

Lamb’s Ear

Blanket Flower

Aster

Coreopsis

Naked Ladies

Agave

Thimbleberries

When dividing plants, follow these general guidelines:

Prepare the soil: Amend the new location with compost and choose a well-draining location for the divisions.

Water: Before dividing, water the plants thoroughly to ensure they are adequately hydrated.

Dig: Only divide healthy specimens. Be careful to not damage the roots or bulbs by gently digging up the plant clumps using a shovel or garden fork. Start at the drip line by creating a trench and work inwards.

Divide: The best time to divide is when flowering has halted. Once the clump is out of the ground, clip off the remaining stems at the base and trim any dead or dying leaves and roots.  Carefully separate plants into smaller divisions using your hands or a sharp knife. Make sure that each division has healthy roots.

Replant: Plant the divisions at the same depth as where the original plant was growing. Water deeply and mulch to conserve moisture.

Maintenance: To establish these new divisions, continue to water and watch. Remove weeds, leaf debris, and grassroots from beds and add a mulch of straw or wood chips. After the blooming season, spent blooms, as well as spent branches, can be removed carefully to keep your beds looking fresh and colorful. 

Bulbs should be divided when they are noticeably overcrowded. Bulbs produce offshoot bulbs and as they grow, flowers diminish although leaves flourish. This is when you know it’s time to divide. Let the foliage die back naturally as the plant needs that energy for next year’s growth. Although most plants can be divided in spring or fall, by dividing plants in September, the root systems are allowed to grow before winter arrives.  Sometimes when dividing in spring, the heat arrives before the roots have had a chance to develop. Ask for assistance from your nursery or gardening expert if you feel your plant has any specific needs. Follow best practices and you will be rewarded with a healthy garden with a plethora of flowers.

The agapanthus that I grow in my garden came from divisions. My favorite color is the midnight blue agapanthus followed by the pure white species. This season I will be dividing my agapanthus and my iris. The healthy green leaves of the iris will be left undisturbed until later this month, then I’ll trim the leaves to approximately six inches and start dividing.

If you are looking for easy-to-care desert-loving species that require minimal water, agave and prickly pear cacti may fit the bill. Agave is propagated by separating the pups from the mother plant and replanting in another location in sandy or gravel-filled soil.  If you enjoy eating the fruit of the prickly pear cacti, and admiring its pretty flowers, I suggest you plant one at the back of your garden so that the spines won’t interfere with your other gardening tasks. The fruit is delicious, the flowers are bold, yet the spines are ferocious. Make sure to wear heavy gloves when working with prickly pears. If you don’t want to cultivate a jungle of these cacti, make sure to pick up and discard any pads that fall on the ground. No need to divide a prickly pear…they spread on their own via dropped pads.

Gardening and sharing the bounty results in joy and happiness. I’ve been fascinated by the flocks of mourning doves that have decided to call my garden home. They do devour my mulberries, but they also eat enormous amounts of weed seeds. Each night I go to sleep to their calming cooing. These peaceful birds don’t seem to mind me photographing them, even in their nests. (See photo).

I didn’t adopt the adorable miniature ponies because the family decided to keep them (smart move), yet I am forever grateful for that single division of the Naked Lady as these belladonnas have brought such beauty to my landscape and the gardens of others. Divide, share, and be happy!

How do you split artichoke plants?

Splitting artichoke plants, also known as division, is a propagation method used to create new plants from an existing one. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to split artichoke plants: Timing: The best time to split artichoke plants is in early spring when new growth is emerging but before the plants become too large and crowded. Preparation: Water the artichoke plant thoroughly a day or two before splitting to ensure the roots are well-hydrated. Digging up the plant: Carefully dig around the base of the artichoke plant, starting at the outer edge of the foliage. Use a garden fork or shovel to lift the entire plant from the ground. Separating the offsets: Look for small, offshoot plants or "pups" growing around the base of the main plant. These are the divisions that will be separated. Gently remove the offsets from the main plant, ensuring each has some roots attached. Division: Use a sharp, clean knife or gardening shears to separate the offsets from the main plant. Make clean cuts, avoiding any damage to the roots. Trimming: Trim the foliage of the offsets to about one-third of their original height. This reduces stress on the newly separated plants and conserves moisture. Soil preparation: Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and incorporating organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Planting the divisions: Dig individual holes in the prepared soil, making them wide and deep enough to accommodate the root system of each division. Place the divisions in the holes, ensuring the roots are well-spread and covered with soil. Gently firm the soil around the plants. Watering: Water the newly planted divisions thoroughly to settle the soil and encourage root establishment. Maintain regular watering until the plants are established. Care: Provide adequate sunlight, preferably full sun, and ensure the plants receive regular water and proper nutrition. Apply organic mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Monitoring and maintenance: Keep an eye on the divided artichoke plants for the first few weeks, checking for signs of stress or inadequate watering. Remove any competing weeds and apply organic fertilizers as needed. Patience and growth: Artichoke plants may take some time to recover and establish after division. Be patient, provide consistent care, and watch as the plants grow and produce new foliage and eventually artichokes. By following these steps, you can successfully split artichoke plants and create new plants to expand your artichoke garden. Remember to handle the divisions with care, provide proper care and maintenance, and give the plants time to establish themselves in their new locations. Read the full article

Fall Gardening In Focus: A Straightforward Primer

Fall can be a rewarding time to grow your own food. Cooler temperatures make it easier to work outdoors and leafy greens get sweeter in cold spells. In warmer winter climates it’s even possible to squeeze in a few summer crops and get some modest autumn production from them. Yet as the season stretches onward and day length wanes, plants are no longer growing under ideal conditions and challenges from pests and inclement weather inevitably emerge. This primer is aimed at getting you growing food as quickly as possible in the autumn, recommends a few tools and some equipment to extend your growing season in the late season, and addresses a few common garden pests and problems.

Growing Methods

Containers? Raised beds? Rooftops? Or just plain ‘ol in the ground…

A lot of plant cultivation techniques are the same, regardless of where you grow. Containers have limitations because some plants produce substantial root systems that fill up your available soil area fast. Long season crops such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, deep rooted crops like chards and beets, and even leafy greens such as collards and kale are not ideal for containers. With that said, if you have and maintain adequate soil fertility, root area, and a consistent watering regime for your plants, you will have success no matter what your growing style.

When To Plant

The following chart lists what crops are can (and can’t!) be planted for fall growing along with recommended planting months. If you want to focus on the easiest crops, look for what’s color coded green. This list is substantial because we’ve included crops that theoretically could be planted in warmer winter climates like ours. Pretty much avoid growing any crops color coded red, unless you’re in for an adventure and have a tolerance for a lot of failure. Lastly, a quick spoiler: August is the most ideal planting month for all major vegetable crops.

How to Plant

Unless you have a relatively weed free soil, starting your seeds in seedling trays in a protected area such as a greenhouse or shade house can be a great way to get plants started ahead of time. For those unfamiliar with what certain seedlings look like, this can also be a great learning experience as you will see your seeds emerge in isolation from potential weeds.

Take note, however: root crops must be direct seeded. For example, carrots are a crop that absolutely must be direct seeded. Last year we experimented with transplanting some of the most productive carrot varieties on the market. They took well to the ground, but when harvest time came the roots were nearly universally twisted and and stunted.

Use specific planting instructions such as planting depth and days to germination to guide your seed starting. One thing holds pretty universal: keep seeds evenly moist throughout their germination period and during the earliest stages of their life. That’s when they are the most precarious and need the most attention.

If you are late starting plants from seed, consider heading to your local nursery to pick up some seedlings to make up for lost time. Seedlings at a nursery already have about two or three weeks of growth.

Some Useful Tools

Garden beds can be created and maintained in a number of ways, so a lot of the tools you use are a matter of personal preference.

Digging fork: one of the most useful and perhaps underestimated garden tools. We use this tool more than a shovel; a properly irrigated soil and digging fork can turn bare ground to garden beds in no time. This tool is also as effective as a shovel for harvesting root and tuber crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. The Radius Garden 20308 PRO Ergonomic Stainless Steel Digging Fork is a solid choice for its durability and ergonomics. If you are looking for a more classical design, we’ve also used the Spear & Jackson R410 English Style Heritage Forged Digging Fork, but be careful to not push this one too far because wooden handles can break under rock excavation that inevitably comes when using a digging fork. On the flip side, we’ve bent tines on the Radius digging fork before, so be sure to understand that every tool has its limits.

Long handed digging shovel: Pretty much your basic shovel for digging holes, removing rocks, and doing cultivation that a digging fork doesn’t allow. The Fiskars Long Handle Round Point Steel Digging Shovel is a great modern version of this tool. Its durable all-metal design is especially useful for rock excavation; just remember though, every tool has its limits. We’ve actually broken one of these trying to remove a large, deeply embedded rock.

Bow rake: great for removing small debris and final garden bed shaping – especially critical if you are direct seeding small seeded crops such as carrots and lettuce. We recommend the Seymour 17" Bow Rake.

CobraHead Weeder: an extremely versatile tool used for removing both surface and deeply rooted weeds and amending beds with fertilizer.

Grub hoe/eye hoe: great for removing large debris and weeds prior to preparing your soil for digging; can also help break up large clods of dirt. We recommend this SHW 5.5″ Grub Hoe from The Tool Merchants.

Square Point Transfer Shovel: a flat shovel used for creating and shaping raised garden beds. We recommend the Fiskars Ergo D-handle Steel Transfer Shovel. It’s inexpensive and its all metal design makes it extremely durable.

Fertility

Most soils require some form of nutrient amendment for proper vegetable growth. Adequate soil fertility is especially important in the autumn season, as once it gets colder, plants take up soil nutrients less efficiently. Inadequate soil fertility can lead to stressed plants, opening them up to greater predation, stunted growth, and in many cases, total crop failure.

The macro-nutrients every major vegetable crop requires are Nitrogen (N), Potassium (P), and Phosphorous(K). Any fertilizer purchased or sourced at a garden store will have NPK values. These reflect the percentage by weight of each nutrient included in the fertilizer. To determine the nutrients available in a given fertilizer, multiply one value of the fertilizer by its weight. For example, a 50 pound bag of fertilizer with a 10-10-10 NPK listing has 10% of each of these nutrients by weight.

Fertilizer application is an imprecise art for most of us. If you know your soil, you probably know just what to add. If you're unsure what you’re dealing with, amend plants modestly, observe and if plants seem like they are stunted, add more later. An easy to use store bought fertilizer is Down to Earth's All Purpose 4-6-2.

Something else to consider: organic fertilizers tend to break down slowly and provide a sustained amount of fertility throughout the season. However, if soil fertility is initially very poor, consider a faster releasing fertilizer, such as a liquid kelp (typically a water spray applied directly on the plants in cooler, overcast weather or toward dusk) or a blood meal. Fertilizer application is an imprecise art for most of us. If you know your soil, you probably know just what to add. If you are unsure what you’re dealing with, amend plants modestly.

Also consider side-dressing. Essentially, this means giving plants an additional dose of fertilizer halfway through their growing cycle. If you are applying fertilizer mid season, take note of a few things: organic fertilizers must make contact underneath the soil surface as they are not directly available to the plants: they must first go through the soil cycle whereby they are consumed by microorganisms that in turn make the nutrients available to plants. Apply fertilizer around the base of the plant and gently scratch it in using a tool such as the CobraHead weeder (discussed below). Do not scratch deeply as you may end up distributing or uprooting plants.

For those more interested in the topic of soil and fertility, we recommend the book Teeming With Microbes: A Gardener’s Guide to the Soil Food Web as a great entry level into the topic.

Season Extension

From June until through the winter solstice (typically around December 20th or 21st), most areas in the Northern Hempisphere lose about two minutes of daylength per day (for more precise information, consult the Navy’s daylight calendar). This means fall gardening is not only a colder but darker endeavor.

A great way to give your vegetables a little more time to grow in the autumn is to protect them from the cold months of October and November. Even modest cold protection goes a long way and also provides your plants refuge from some (but not all) common garden pests and even larger animals such as deer. Cold frames made of glass or heavy duty are a ubiquitous, and if you have a greenhouse you can also grow inside of it for the cold months, but for many these options are too expensive and laborious to set up – especially if you are getting a late start.

One inexpensive method are QuickHoops Low Tunnel Benders, which is a tool set that allows you to bend inexpensive electrical conduit available at any hardware store into the basis of a cold frame. You can place these frames about four feet apart along your garden bed and then cover them with a light frost cloth, such as agribon which is also inexpensive. Definitely invest in some method to anchor down the frost cloth to the ground once you are set up. Sand bags and sand work are an inexpensive option.Your bill of materials will run approximately $100-$150, but consider this: the hoops can be retrofitter with shade cloth in the summer to make it easier to grow cooler season crops such as lettuce.  

If you live in a warmer winter climate, this will help take your fall crops all the way through winter. If you live in a colder winter climate, this hoop house will not protect your crops from extreme cold, frost, and snow, but it may give you a few additional weeks of leafy greens.

Fall Garden Pests and Some Helpful Organic Solutions

Anyone who gardens organically or with low inputs has experienced plants becoming infested with aphids, eaten up by flea beetles, decimated by cabbage moths, and taken down by slugs and snails overnight. If you are commonly experiencing these issues, you are likely dealing with soil issues. Growing crops without the proper nutrients, placing them in too tight spacings, or growing the same crops consecutively in the same soil are common problems that precipitate some, but not all forms of predation. The best way to avoid pests is preventively: use adequate plant spacing, ensure adequate soil fertility, and anticipate problems before they happen.

If you do experience problems, here are some recommended treatment methods for common pests: These are all forms of pest management that are allowed under organic production.

Aphids: neem oil in a water solution sprayed directly on the plants can deter and kill modest aphid populations but is not very effective against outright infestations. Best to simply remove the effected plants.

Flea Beetle/pill bugs: lightly dust diatomaceous earth directly on plant leaves.

Cabbage Moth: Dissolve BT (bacillus thuringiensis) in a water solution and spray directly on plants. 

Slugs and Snails: apply granulated sluggo/iron phosphate on the ground near plants, or consider manual removal/relocation. Snail hunting at night is an gardeners favorite pastime..

Gophers: traps or physical barriers (raised beds lined with cages; gopher cages, black box trap)

A Final Note on The Harvest

Crops such as beets, cabbage, cauliflower are “one hitters” in the sense that they are harvested once and finished. These harvests are relatively straightforward. However, crops such as collards, kales, some types of broccoli, and even lettuces can be progressively harvested. Consider harvesting these crops at a more modest rate than you would during summer or spring months. Plant leaves don't regenerate as quickly in the fall and winter, and if over harvested they will have a much harder time regenerating. Be gentle to your plants in the autumn.

Effortless Techniques For Planting In addition to Maintaining A Garden

If anyone are interested in starting up your own garden, an individual will need to do some research first. You will wish to know which fruits, vegetables, flowers plus natural herbs can be cultivated inside natural environment where you reside. Specific different types of soil will be required by many vegetation but are only available in specific locations. Decide on perennials that won't get taken away by slugs. Snails plus slugs may quickly wreak disorder about a garden. These yard pests prefer perennials with thin, flat, delicate leaves, particularly if the plant is not yet grown up.

How to level a lawn@|how to flatten garden@|https://ift.tt/3hbXe9b

When it comes to mowing the lawn there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to manoeuvre over lumps and bumps. A level lawn doesn’t just look great and make for easier maintenance, it can have a few other advantages too.

For gardens with drainage and water logging issues, levelling and grading the lawn can assist in encouraging water flow away from your property, whilst allowing more water to be absorbed into the soil adding needed nutrients.

What causes a lawn to be uneven?

There are a number of ways that your lawn can become bumpy or uneven. Here are some of the main culprits:

Animals

From your neighbourhood cats, to pesky foxes looking for food. Animals are a main cause of uneven lawns as they will happily stray into your garden in the months where your lawn is at its most vulnerable. There are steps you can take to prevent these critters from ruining your lawn.

The other animals (the kids!)

If kids are playing in the garden in when the soil is soft it can put a large amount of pressure on the lawn. This is of course not only bad for the health of the grass but will cause long term issues for the surface.

Nightcrawlers

These giant earth worms can be a real nuisance when trying to perfect your lawn. These little insects can shift between 20 and 25 tons of soil per acre to the surface every year. A great tip to prevent this from becoming a problem is to keep the pH level of your soil low.

Waterlogging

In the winter months the weather can play a big part in causing lumps and bumps in your lawn. If surface water is allowed to sit on your lawn it can cause long term damage, which is why getting your drainage right is so important.

Soil settlement

Things that occur beneath the soil such as rocks, piping and other debris can affect the composition of your lawn. The best course of action to resolve this is excavate the affected areas to break up the rubble underneath.

[external_link offset=1]

Preparing to level your lawn

So if your lawn is looking uneven with a few too many dips, help is at hand. Before starting, the lawn will need to be checked thoroughly in advance to determine how much will require levelling and if there are any existing drainage problems. At times, uneven ground can be caused as a result of drainage problems or even damaged water pipes.

Check for low spots and drainage issues

If low spots are occurring in locations around water pipes seek professional advice before continuing. If drainage issues are discovered, it is recommended to re-grade the lawn as well as levelling, creating a surface that slopes away from the property to aid drainage and avoid flooding.

Alternatively an underground drainage system can be fitted using either gravel or flexible drainpipes. Other causes for bumps and hollows can be due to wear and tear, mole damage, drought or frost.

There are two main methods for levelling a lawn depending on the extent of damage to the area. All low spots across the garden should be checked for depth to help decide which method will work best. Both methods will require the same mixture used when top dressing a lawn.

This will consist of two parts sand, two parts topsoil and one part compost. These combined will fill out the desired areas whilst improving drainage, with the compost allowing for a nutrient rich soil to be formed.

Pre-water your lawn for levelling

Several days before you plan to level the lawn it will need to be watered to ensure that the soil is not too hard, dry or powdery when making the adjustments. Be careful not to over water as wet soil can be just as hard to work with as overly dry soil.

When to level your lawn

The best time of year to start your repairs is around spring, as this will allow your grass seed time to grow in whilst providing sufficient moisture for the soil to settle. As mentioned previously there are two main methods for levelling; one for shallow low spots and one for low spots deeper than 2-3cms.

Levelling shallow low spots on your lawn

For areas that are only 1-2cm lower than the rest of the soil, the top dressing mixture can be applied directly. Shake out a thin layer over the problem area and spread evenly using a garden rake until it is completely filled out and level.

Using your feet and the flat side of the rake, tamp down and compact the soil. Lightly water the soil to further aid compaction and leave to settle. Repeat this process for all shallow areas that need attention.

Once the soil has been left to settle for a few days grass seed can be distributed, followed by a further light dusting of topsoil mix, then pat down gently with the palm of your hand. For the first 48 hours the soil will need a light spray of water 4 times per day to assist in germinating the seeds.

Then water regularly and allow time for the grass seed to grow. Another application can be done if there are low or bare spots remaining after it has settled.

[external_link offset=2]

Levelling deep low spots on your lawn

For the areas that have sunk more than 2cm deep a different method to level your lawn will be required. For this you will need a squared-off shovel. Using the shovel, slice into the centre and beyond the edges of the bump or hollow in a cross shape. Try to keep the cut as even as possible to make it easier to lift without breaking.

Cut to about 4-5cm deep, then slide the shovel underneath to cut each section of the cross horizontally, keeping the shovel as flat as possible to maintain an even thickness of soil. This is where it is essential that the soil is not too dry, as it will crumble when moved. Gently peel back the edges of the turf until you can lay them flat without breaking.

For levelling a bump in the lawn, dig out the excess soil until level with the surrounding area, tread down and fold the flaps of turf back over.

To fill a hollow, use a garden fork to turn over the soil to about 5cm deep, removing any large stones and breaking down any large clumps. Tread down to compact the soil to reduce the chance of further sinking afterwards.

Fill the hole with your top dressing mixture until level with the surrounding area, then rake over to break the soil down before folding the flaps of turf back over.

At this stage you will need to tamp the turf back down, starting at the outer edges of the cross section and working towards the centre. Fill any remaining gaps between the cuts made with more top dressing to stop the edges from drying out. Lawn seed can also be sprinkled in the gaps to cover and fill them. Water regularly and allow for the grass seed to grow.

Once you have completed all the areas required, a wooden 2×4 and a spirit level can be used to check the grade and level of the lawn. So for those of you that thought it could only be done by a professional, follow these easy steps and you could have your own perfectly level lawn!
