1 through 7 April 2019

This week was all about mulching. We finished the dicotyledon order beds and the vegetable vitamin beds. Next week we will mulch the medicinal beds.

Wednesday, we invited Marcelo from Kew to give us a lesson in bromeliads and to show us the best way to mount them on bark. Everyone learned a lot and enjoyed the afternoon. Now we have a lot of work to do and the tropical corridor will look much better when it is done.

The weather turned cold this week and it even hailed one afternoon. I prefer working in snow or hail rather than rain.

I also received several compliments on my sewing of the netting, which was very nice to hear.

This week’s plant ident is about spring interest:

Don’t’ grow the trees and shrubs too near to each other: the particular distance in between trees plus bushes furthermore matters for that sense associated with contemplation within a Japanese backyard. The things all of us usually find in the wooden may act as accents: origins of trees and shrubs of uncommon shapes, mossy stumps plus stones .

You can hardly envision a Japan garden with no cherry bloom , or even sakura, thrown with beautiful little red flowers. Yet cherry flowers are warmth-loving and will not survive winter season frosts.

Conifers are also made welcome in Japan gardens. You might pick up pines, firs, spruces and junipers – everything to your preference. The color can vary from green to gentle blue, as well as the size through tall in order to dwarf-like – choose what is more suitable for the soil kind.

Besides traditional trees plus bushes, the Japanese backyard may function bonsai vegetation . They may be especially appropriate for cool regions just like be effortlessly brought inside for the winter season.
