Hostas: multigenerational plants

Trees spring to mind when most people think about shade gardens, but the often neglected north side of a home should not be forgotten. In any shady zone, you can create plots for conifers, shrubs, perennials, or shade-loving annuals, meaning they can live with about two hours of sunshine per day.

The denser leaves of trees such as maples and limes create a deeper shade than birches, and the lower the branches are, the denser the shade will be. To cultivate a wider range of plants, prune back low branches to a minimum height of 1.5 metres.

When creating flower beds under older trees, which often have large roots near the surface, raised beds are best. Be sure to raise them at least 20 centimetres from the ground and choose plant species which do not develop deep roots. Try to be creative and avoid making a small, symmetrical flower bed circling the base of the tree.

The result is not always aesthetically pleasing, especially if filled with a gaudy mix of annuals. A better idea is to create a good-sized flower bed with curving lines that will also facilitate grass cutting.

If you love a harmonious but striking visual effect in your garden, plant large areas with just one plant species: a green groundcover, such as pachysandra, will create a stunningly elegant effect while a flowering plant, such as lily of the valley, will produce beautiful fragrances in the spring. If you prefer more contrast and colour, then yellow, orange, pink, and white annuals are just the thing. The number of colours should, however, be limited to two or three, and the plants should be positioned in concentric lines.

Hostas are vigorous plants which, once planted, can live for thirty years or more. Contrary to other perennials, which are usually appreciated for the beauty of their flowers, hostas are noted for the richness of their foliage. Their distinctive leaves are green, variegated, golden, or they might even have a touch of blue, bringing vividness and texture to flower beds and borders.

Hostas are perfect plants for the inexperienced gardener. They are easy to grow and thrive equally well in shade or sun. They are best suited to soils rich in compost, so no other fertilizer is necessary. That is a great advantage, especially for new gardeners! Another undeniable advantage: because of their profuse, tightly packed foliage, hostas will never be invaded by weeds, saving hours of backbreaking work. Even though hostas are drought tolerant, it is preferable to spread mulch around them.

This conserves the moist coolness of the soil, which

The main enemy of hostas are slugs, who also love cool, moist places. Even though garden centres do stock effective slug bait, some hosta varieties are more resistant to slugs than others, including “invincible” and “Bressingham blue”.

Garden centre specialists will be able to advise you about the other available varieties.

Hostas can thrive through generations of gardeners, perpetuating the memory of those who first planted them and giving them pride of place in their garden.

Hostas are easy to grow and thrive equally well in shade or sun.

these oriental plants love so much.

Growing herbs Just about everyone would agree that herbs give pleasure to the taste buds, the nose, and even the eyes. If you’re thinking about starting an herb garden, don’t make the mistake of growing lots of different varieties. In the beginning, choose just a few herbs that you like and will use.

Interesting choices include the classics: parsley, basil, thyme, chives, sage, tarragon, and rosemary. When buying your herbs, be sure to gently rub their leaves together in order to smell their fragrance.

This is the best way to decide if you like their scent. Once you’ve mastered growing these simpler varieties, you can add a few more exotic herbs that can be used for specific recipes.

Luckily, herbs do not require a lot of care. Planting them in a sunny spot and not overwatering them is usually enough to get healthy plants. Because herbs usu-

ally have very distinct fragrances, they are rarely attacked by insects. They’re even used in vegetable plots to repel harmful parasites!

Herbs are also great for growing in containers on a deck. The end result will be as good as if they’d been grown directly in the ground. Don’t be afraid to pinch back new shoots in order to encourage growth and density of leaves. In most cases this also keeps the plant from flowering and going to seed, which will make it taste bitter.

When the time comes to harvest your crop, don’t mix different herbs in the same basket or else their distinctive fragrances will meld. Try to harvest herbs on a dry day, because wet or moist herbs are inclined to rot or take longer to dry and conserve.

Each office is independently owned and operated

If you’ve already got some large rocks on your property, position them carefully.

You might want to lay some newer stones around them to create a more natural effect. After this, lay smaller stones of varying shapes and sizes.

Now, you’re ready to plant. Select diffe­ rent varieties of dwarf or low-growing shrubs, but be careful to choose a mixture of shapes (erect, crawling, rounded, etc.) so you can create a harmonious effect. A rockery also requires a wide variety of flowers. Once again, don’t be afraid to mix species.

The upkeep of a rock garden is fairly demanding. Weeding should be done on a regular basis, and watering should also be done frequently, as stones trap the heat and dry the soil. If pos­ sible, install an automatic water­ ing system when you’re building the garden. The task of pruning and dividing perennials will vary, depending on the types of plants you’ve chosen. A last piece of advice is to take care as you work on your rock garden’s slope in order to avoid falls.

Rock gardens built on hilly terrain evoke alpine landscapes.

The best companions for your plants are more plants!

In horticulture, companion planting consists of placing different plants in proximity so they can assist each other in nutrient uptake and pest control. In the case of edibles, it can sometimes even improve their taste. In the vegetable garden, companion planting has the advantage of maintaining ecosys­ tems; just as in nature, friendly plants are of mutual help and create a balanced and harmonious environment.

The technique is simple. All you have to do is cultivate those plants which are mutu­ ally beneficial side by side and distance those that could be in conflict. Of course, the first step is to learn which plants can be combined and which cannot. You can find specific combination suggestions in many horticultural books, on gardening websites, and at your local garden centre.

Herbs, for example, don’t have to be rel­ egated to a separate patch in the back yard.

By spreading them around between your ve­getables, it’s a good bet that they will ward off quite a few pests. Tarragon and marjoram, for instance, can discourage many harmful insects with their strong scent. This also applies to thyme, which is very effective when placed next to cabbages.

Among other herb-vegetable combinations that can work natural miracles are cha­ momile and cucumber, parsley and tomato, and mint and pumpkin. There are also some vegetables that rely on other vegetables, or even flowers, in order to flourish to the maximum. That is the case with onions, which keep away carrot flies, and marigolds, which keep insects away from vegetables.

As a general rule, the best companions for your plants are not from the same family — but then again, isn’t that the particular­ ity of all friendships?
