种花笔记2011

6月中约了政府的water efficient lawn and garden visit,得到几点建议:


  1. add compost to garden bed
  2. add mulch to exposed soil in garden
  3. pruning general rules: 
  • cut anything dead or dying at anytime, 
  • prune after flowering
  • no more than 1/3 at a time (lilac)
  • prune close to the branch's collar 这个我要特别注意,以前我随便剪枝,剪得离节过高
几个我不清楚的植物名称:
前院的树是Norway Maple 不是native tree, invasive. 
树下面是burning bush, Euonymus
树下面的一颗PINE有一侧枯黄,建议砍掉,种别的
窗下面的灌木建议剪到和前面的PINE齐高,从根部剪掉一些branches,boost它长得更浓密
丁香开花后,要修枝,前院和后院的丁香不是一个品种
丁香旁边的sandberry严重被snail 入侵,需要剪到所有被被snail 入侵的branches,看能不能活下来;春秋后去买专业杀虫喷剂。

后院的篱笆墙不要爬得太高,攀到屋顶下面的金属雨槽,会损害雨槽。
铁丝莲(clematics) top needs sun while roots need to be cool,
铁丝莲有3种剪枝技术,我家这个看来是在新枝上开花的品种:new growth clematis. This clematis blooms later in the season on new wood, which is on stems grown in the current season. Pruning is done in February and March just as leaf buds are seen on the lower sections of the plant. Remove all dead material above the buds. (more info here http://laptopgardener.com/?p=735
今年点的籽(seeds) 五月Victory day,太晚
另外还辨别的后院几种野草,建议把现有的植物养好,再养新的。

另外,玫瑰长虫了,叶子被啃光了,需要杀虫
