Spell out vision to ensure best results Q. Jeff, help me out here. We want to do an extensive remodel on an old farm house that has been in the family for several generations. We are nearing retirement age, so we have some moneys to put into it.

There is a local builder that has done building and remodeling for us in the past, so we SQUARE like to use him. He CORNERS has a small crew and does most of the work in-house. We had some Jeff Deahl remodeling done on our current home a couple years ago and I was looking for some built-in book cases in the living room. What I got was basically ordered manufactured sizes pantry cabinets without doors then

trimmed with a small molding where it meets the walls. The book cases and cabinets underneath look fine but now when I do some research for our new home, I’m more committed to a built-in look. How can I get that and still use my contractor I have become accustomed to?

—Ashley from Auburn A. Some examples of where built-in cabinet is compromised by standard builders doing standard work using standard materials. Book shelving in living rooms, dens, studies and offices.

many small great contractors out there that have years of experience with exceptionally skilled carpenters working with them. Keep in mind that rarely is one craftsman good at concrete and framing and drywall and painting and interior trim (you get my point). Yes, they can get set in their ways, in a process they have done many times before and that might not be at the highest level of results or what you want. The best way would be to hire an architect or designer to convey to the builder what’s expected in these details.

Pruning tips to keep flowering shrubs blossoming for years

BY LEE REICH

Associated Press

Deciduous shrubs — those that lose their leaves each winter — are always sending up new stems at or near ground level. This makes them forgiving plants to prune. New growth, wherever needed, can eventually correct any mistakes. Still, there’s no reason to butcher these plants.

Forsythia is one of many deciduous shrubs that look their best with their stems rising up in a clump from ground level to create an informal, graceful fountain of foliage and flowers. The way to maintain this graceful appearance is by “renewal pruning.”

Renew your shrub

With renewal pruning, work with the plant’s natural growth habit. Every year, remove old, decrepit stems that no longer flower well to make way for exuberant, young ones. And if these young stems are elbowing each other for space, remove some of them also.

The tools that help achieve graceful form in these shrubs are not hedge shears but a lopper and hand-held pruning shears, perhaps also a small pruning saw.

When to prune is dictated by a plant’s blooming season. Prune early flowering shrubs right after their spring show is over.

If you were to prune now, you’d be pruning off many stems that were going to bear flowers.

Reserve your late-winter pruning enthusiasm for shrubs that flower from summer on.

How much pruning?

It depends

Variations in the growth habits of deciduous shrubs dictate the degree of renewal pruning needed.

Those that can handle a lot of pruning include red-osier dogwood, Russian sage, butterfly bush, St. John’s wort and other shrubs whose newest shoots are the ones that carry the best flowers or, in the case of red-osier dogwood, the brightest red or yellow stems.

These shrubs also tend to send up many new shoots from ground level each year.

This photo shows a shrub being pruned in New Paltz, New York. Maintain a natural, graceful form to a flowering shrub with renewal pruning, starting with lopping back some of the oldest stems to ground level.

Shrubs whose newest shoots put on the best show are the easiest to prune: Simply lop the whole plant completely to ground level each year.

This admittedly drastic pruning keeps them from becoming congested at their centers, and stimulates the season’s flush of lanky, new stems.

Shrubs whose best show is on stems that are one year old — common ninebark, flowering almond, rambling roses, kerria, and pussy willows grown as shrubs for their catkins — require slightly less severe pruning. Prune these shrubs by lopping to the ground all flowering stems, that is, those that are a year old, right after they finish their show.

Stems of forsythia as well as those of lilac, mockorange, clethra, honeysuckle, shrub roses, and weigela keep bearing flowers even longer, so they can remain a few years before needing to be cut away to make room for younger stems.

Use your lopper or saw to first cut some of the oldest stems right to the ground, or to low, vigorous side shoots.

April 2019 • Page 15

AP

These few quick cuts quickly and easily rid the plant of decrepit wood make way for young wood, and reduce the plant’s height and width.

Next, with hand shears, go for the young sprouts at ground level. Cut to the ground any that are spreading too far out from the base of the plant or that crowd too thickly.

It’s impossible to prescribe how long to leave an older stem or to say how many new stems to leave each year.

Such details depend on the soil and the nature of the plant, as well as how high and how wide you want it to grow.

Finally, the easiest plants to prune are witch hazel, cotoneaster, enkianthus, PeeGee hydrangea, climbing roses, tree peonies and many viburnums.

All these shrubs are reluctant to send up new sprouts from ground level, and the relatively permanent framework of branches that they build up typically puts on a good show year after year.

This growth habit means you can prune these shrubs rarely, or not at all.

Some favorite garden vegetables attract pollinators, too

BY DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

Planting clumps of bright, successively blooming flowers is a popular method for attracting foraging pollinators like bees and butterflies. But savvy vegetable and fruit growers know flowering edibles will entice them, too.

Ornamental shrubs, trees, crops and vines will bring pollinators to your yard while at the same time provide nourishment for the family table.

Bees and many other species transfer pollen grains and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing plants so they can thrive and produce food. The pollinators, in turn, are rewarded with the plants’ sugary nectars.

“When we think of our diet, the rule of thumb is that one out of every three bites we take is dependent upon pollinators,” said Ed Spevak, who manages the St. Louis Zoo’s Center for Native Pollination. It was among the nation’s first zoos to have a dedicated invertebrate department.

“When you want flavor, color and nutrition, then you really need to start thinking about bees and all the services they perform for our diets,” Spevak said.

Familiarize yourself with the pollinators common in your area and learn which plants they prefer.

“Some bee species are active only in the spring or maybe just the summer, while others are active all season long, such as bumblebees and honeybees,” said Frank Drummond, a professor of insect ecology at the University of Maine. “This relates to when you need to have plants flowering in your garden.”

Some bees are generalists while others specialize in the types of blooms they seek.

“It is really an evolutionary thing,” Drummond said. “Specialists usually have a very unique anatomy (specific tongue length and body size) and behaviors that have been fine-tuned over many generations, while generalists have anatomy and behaviors that allow them to be less efficient across all flower

species.”

Many pollinator species are in decline or disappearing because of habitat and forage losses, improper pesticide use, disease and parasites.

“Honeybees get all the press, but are not in danger,” Spevak said. “It’s the native bees and bumblebees that are disappearing.”

Install pollinator-friendly habitat if you want to help rebuild pollinator populations, he said. Many native plants that can support the increasingly endangered Monarch butterfly population also will help native bees, he said.

“You’ll become a conservationist by planting a native garden with plants that provide a healthy diet,” he said.

When landscaping to lure pollinators, it’s really about flower diversity, not abundance, Spevak said. “If you’re a tomato grower, for example, it would behoove you to recruit bumblebees and wild bees rather than honeybees,” he said. “They’re much better pollinators for those plants.”
