gardens: Wilmore, Ky - A wonderful home in a charming town. Open House
- 07/05/10 02:00 PM
Saturday morning we drove down to Wilmore to go to a very sweet small town parade with our children and grandchildren. I so much enjoy Wilmore. It is only a 20 minute drive from South Lexington and with the completion of the new four lane highway in the near future it will be quicker and safer. What is so special about Wilmore? It is truly a small town that has somehow preserved the mid 20th century. The parade is mostly people having fun. The lawnmower brigade of men not afraid to have a little fun and laughter is a reflection of … (1 comments)
gardens: Preparing Soil to Start Seeds

Yesterday I wrote a blog on my seed propagation system.The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate how to prepare the planting mix and to also show how to plant the very small seeds.I buy my soil mix in a large sack. I buy a propagation mix from Fayette Seed here in Lexington. In order to have the best success getting those little seeds to break out of their seed covering you do not want to use a normal growing mix.
I pour about two gallons of the mix into my a wheel barrow and then sprinkle it well with … (2 comments)
Mid September is the prime time for re-seeding and planting one’s lawn in Lexington. Around the corner from our house one of our neighbors (who is a horticulturalist at UK) has torn up his front lawn and reseeded it. He planted lawn seeds and then strewed straw (nice alliteration, huh?) over the top of it to help retain the soil from any water-run off. His front yard slopes sharply to the street. Wow – that is a lot of work. I have lawn too, but it more closely resembles a weedy patch of … (2 comments)
gardens: Caring for the Soil

soil preparation Yesterday I wrote about planning your garden and specifically where to plant on your lot. Today I am beginning to write about preparing the soil.The Humorist Dave Barry once said, "Your first job is to prepare the soil. The best tool for this is your neighbor's garden tiller. If your neighbor does not own a garden tiller, suggest that he buy one." AVOID TILLING IF AT ALL POSSIBLE The fact is if you can turn your soil without tilling you will have a much healthier garden. Borrow a good shovel or spading fork but DO NOT borrow a tiller. … (0 comments)
gardens: Making use of Your Land
- 06/26/09 06:23 AM
Choosing a Place to Plant a Garden. When we moved into our home the previous owners had planted a few trees and three or four perennials. I had cultivated about 3/4 of acre at our little "farm" in Woodinville, near Seattle. The first step in planning a garden is deciding what you want to grow. Near the house on the north or east side is a good place for plants like begonias and impatients. They do best with lots of shade and will take a lot of watering if planted in the direct sun more than four hours a day. … (1 comments)
