Nerdin Gardens: Grounds Maintenance Supervisor
At the first sign of spring, the black shade cloth is rolled off the raised garden beds. All watering emitter-systems are removed, then the earth is tilled, turning the soil thoroughly, removing dead roots and inorganic material.
Next step is to amend by adding fertilizer to the already rich, black soil. One by one, each plant is placed in a predetermined spot to ensure optimum growth. New emitters placed near each one for adequate watering.
As soon as blooms appear, the bee hive just outside the perimeter fence will serve to pollinate every single one and perhaps be other … (17 comments)

Nerdin Gardens: Last, Bud Not Least
Spring has arrived to the southern Utah area. The peach, pear, plot, apricots, almond and plum trees in the orchard are blossoming out in pink and white blooms, proudly showing off their clustered flowers.
Oh, but wait now...

Garden Trivia:
Did you know that sweet cherry trees require a male and female tree to pollinate in order to produce fruit? Sour cherry trees are self-pollinators and do not need more than one … (16 comments)

Nerdin Gardens: The Artichoke plant adds ornamental beauty to any landscape.
My husband, a master gardener, often adds pops of color, interest and depth to any outside area. Knowing by instinct, the conditions and care that plant material needs to thrive, is pertinent to his continued success.
Artichokes grow best in sunny areas, can tolerate some shade, but the flower buds will be stunted. Fertile soil and good drainage guarantees adequate growth. The life span of the artichoke is 3 to 5 years.
They need plenty of room to stretch out in garden spaces but require little attention, other than watching for aphids. They … (25 comments)

Nerdin Gardens: Color My World Vivid Red and Bright Yellow
Perusing the many flowers dotting our landscape, the Ketchup and Mustard Rose lives up to its fun name with red petals and a deep yellow on the reverse side. Small in stature but big and bold in appearance.
This plant produces small multiples, flourished, elegant blooms of high-centered, ruby-red flowers. Consistent blooming from late spring into fall, the festive petals smell like crisp apples and tea fragrance.
The color combination tends to make me a little hungry and a hankering for a fresh off-the-grill hot dog with some ketchup & mustard, a little onion, … (16 comments)
