POTS AND CONTAINERS

07/04/2011 23:14:00

I PREFER SIMPLE CONTAINERS IN MANY DIFFERENT SIZES, FOR IF THE CONTAINER IS OVERFLOWING WITH COLOR OR VEGETATION, THEN THE PLANTING IS THE REAL EYE-CATCHER AND DOES NOT NEED A RIVALLING ATTRACTION IN THE POT. ON THE OTHER HAND , SOME POTS ARE SO HANDSOME THAT THEY CAN STAND ON THEIR OWN AS SCULPTURE.

POTS AND CONTAINERS MAKE A STRONG STYLE STATEMENT IN URBAN SETTING.NOT ONLY IN THEIR POSITIONING BUT IN THEIR SHAPE, SIZE ,AND COLOR THEY SHOULD RELATE WELL TO THE STYLE AND SCALE OF YOUR SPACE.

CONTAINERS THAT SUIT TRADITIONAL COUNTRY SETTING MAY BE MADE FROM NATURAL PRODUCTS SUCH AS STONE, SLATE, AND WOOD, OR , FOR THE MORE REFINED, CHINA, EARTHENWARE, AND TERRA COTTA.

I LOVE THE ORGANIC SHAPE OF THE OIL JAR SEEN IN MANY ITALIAN , ESPECIALLY TOSCAN.ALSO A HALF BARREL AND PLAIN WILLOW BASKETS.

Pruning or not pruning

06/14/2011 01:10:00

PRUNING is the removal of a portion of plant to improve its appearance and health and control its growth and shape.

It is easily done, but not so easily done correctly.

Each time a bud or branch is removed from a plant, it has a short-term and long-term effect. The short-term effect is the way the plant looks immediately after pruning, and perhaps through the remainder of the growing season. The long-term effect is the way the plant appears after several seasons of growth without the part that has been pruned.

WHAT IS A HERB ?

WHAT IS A HERB ?

When one asks the question what is a herb, one begins to realize how wide any definition must be.Botanists use the term to refer to a plant with a stem that is not woody, yet the word has taken on a larger meaning. A keen cook would probably first think of a herb being a plant employed to add flavor in cooking, such as bay leaves, basil, or thyme. On the other hand, some people might consider herbs to be plants that are drawn on medicinally, such as echinaccea or aloe vera.

Mankind, however, has used herbs in many other diverse and ingenious ways: as insect repellents, for strewingon floors and scenting linen, for cosmetics and perfumery, for washing, preserving, and in embalming.
