Pottery, Statues And Fountains, Oh My!

But nothing could be further from the truth. The thoughtful selection of a pot or urn can focus a boring spot in the garden into a great nook. A selection of colorful, planted ceramic pots can help make an outdoor living space into a lush tropical paradise. A statue or fountain and bring focus and soft splash to the garden and make it magical.
And it can be very affordable, especially now during the Thank You Sale at Oakland Nursery. Save 20% on all outdoor ceramic pottery, and 20% on all statuary, fountains and accents. So go on, get creative, and make a little magic in the garden.
The First Critical Year
The purchase of a new plant is a big event for the homeowner and the plant itself. For the homeowner is an investment in their home, landscape and environment. For the plant, it becomes a part of the complex web of the natural world. But in Central Ohio’s heavy clay soil and crazy weather springs, it can be a challenge to get that plant to establish and thrive.
With the exception of sudden insect or disease infestation, the key to plant health is healthy roots. Time spent preparing the soil, planting hole and root ball is a tremendous help in helping that plant survive and thrive that first critical year after planting. In that time, the plant gets used to its soil conditions, and grows the necessary roots into native soil. Learning how much the soil does or does not hold moisture will tell you how often and how much water to provide this plant. Push your fingers into the soil around the root ball periodically to learn how fast the plant uses water. You will be surprised how different soil moisture around plants are around your yard!
For vegetables, flowers, and herbaceous perennials, watch for low spots that gather puddles. In vegetable gardens, cultivate low trenches between rows for water to gather. This helps the soil around the plant to dry quicker. Incorporate organic material whenever possible to build the soil fertility and structure. This is the #1 best thing you can do for successful gardening!
When planting trees and shrubs, dig a hole twice as big as the root ball, mix in 25% shredded pine bark and the recommended amount of Fertilome Root Stimulator or Espoma Biotone root stimulator. Plant trees and shrubs with the root ball ½ to 1 inch above the grade. Mulch as usual with 1 to 2 inches of mulch.
For established plants showing moisture stress, pull back the mulch from around the plant, to allow the soil moisture to evaporate off quicker, and lightly cultivate the top inch of soil to promote drying. Be on the lookout for any overflowing gutters, plugged drains or low spots that gather and retain water.
