Biennials and Herbs Gardening In A Box and Pot.
Canterbury-Bells have the most beautiful lavender, blue, pink, purple and white bells, but unfortunately they die shortly after flowering.
These flowers can be bought in spring time from every garden centre and if you want to attract everybody’s attention you can mix them together. If you want, you can even grow your own specimen from seed planted in June or July.
Foxgloves are very delicate plants with tall spikes and bells. The seeds must be put in soil in June or July and the young plants must be kept during winter in gardens or cold frames, covered with marsh hay or evergreen branches.
New English hybrids have flowers all around the stems and some old foxgloves have bells on one side of the spikes. During spring you can find and enjoy pot-grown rosettes.
Veronica, heuchera (coral-bells), helenium, showy stonecrop (sedum), scabiosa, Japanese iris, lythrum, platy-codon (balloon flower), tritoma, shasta daisy, heliopsis, peony, gaillardia, pentstemon, columbine, monarda (bee-balm), lavender, oriental poppy, liatris, anthemis, gas plant and butterfly weed are only a few perennials and biennials. Other rock garden plants are: basket-of-gold, arabis, viola, snow-in-the-summer, ajuga, aubretia, thyme, primrose, dianthus and auricula.
Many people use herbs when they cook because they have a great fragrance. In your personal garden you can grow parsley, fennel, marjoram, mint, sage, chives and sun-loving rosemary. Scented-leaved geraniums are cinnamon, rose, peppermint, apple and lemon.
Mrs. Frances R. Williams of Winchester, Massachusetts is a well-known lady that tried years after years to raise herbs in her garden and one day she decided to move her garden on her nine-foot square porch. That was mainly because back there the sun was lighting it until late in the afternoon.
12 low bushel baskets and 4 eggs cases filled with half-rotted compost to within 4-inches of the top. The next step was to spread everything with 3-inches of fertilized soil.
She planted savoury in half egg cases and in the other half basil. In addition to this she planted also narrow-leaved French thyme, lettuce-leaved basil, sweet marjoram and dill.
Mrs. Williams also grew in other baskets red and yellow pear, small-fruited red cherry and yellow plum varieties of tomatoes. The plants were easy to grow because they needed no daily watering because the containers were holding moisture.
Back on the other side of the house was shady and she grew open heads of leaf and Bibb lettuce in compost-filled bushel baskets.
In the last few years, people started to use containers in order to grow vegetables. It’s great to plant white-fruiting eggplants in individual pots and be admired by everybody.
If you have a contemporary terrace, a few large planters of rhubarb will look beautiful along with containers with onions, small tomatoes and carrots.
The personal garden is the best place for you to grow miniature plants and vegetables and nowadays this is a popular hobby.
Older English people enjoy growing small plants in containers raised to waist level.
Cacti are the best options if you’re living in a hot and dry climate or if you like to travel and don’t want to worry about the plants back at home. Their forms are amazing and you can decorate your garden in so many ways.
Cacti are very easy to grow. All you need to remember is that they need a small pot filled with lean soil.
In small low tubes you can grow water plants and water lilies while in larger tubes you can put the Egyptian lotus because this latter has big leaves and blooms.
Last but not least, the Bonsai (also called Japanese dwarf) is both a plant and an art form. Is a popular plant and everywhere on the market you can find instructions on how to grow and care for them. If you think you can handle a bonsai, you can buy one from a garden centre or nurserymen.
