Bloomingwriter: Gardening in Nova Scotia: Garden Blogger's Geography Project: Wrapup Pt 2!
http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2008/03/garden-bloggers-geography-project.html
Garden Blogger's Geography Project: Wrapup Pt 2! Nothing like supper and a nap to renew one's energy, is there? If we had a prize for "most entertainingly original" post, I think it would have to go to Ottawa Hortiphilia for the highly amusing poem. At the beginning of OH's post about our nation's capital city. It's a lovely city, if somewhat challenging for gardeners. Our friend Kylie. I learned that Royal, Illinois, got its name from a sign on a railcar advertising baking powder. With her musings, and ...

Bloomingwriter: Gardening in Nova Scotia: Gold foliage for brighter gardens
http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2014/12/gold-foliage-for-brighter-gardens.html
Gold foliage for brighter gardens. Hello, fellow gardeners! Where have I been, you ask? Before December, even! We turn to the season of indoor gardening, which includes, of course, planning for next year. When I was a plant science student at the Agricultural College, to see yellow in foliage often suggested a nutrient deficiency or other problem. It took me a long time to embrace the colour gold, or cream, or yellow, in ornamental plants, but here's what turned the tide for me:. Because I went to the Ag...

Planting for the Pollinators. It was hugely, bitterly ironic that last week was National Pollinator Week in the USA; the same week in which thousands of bees were killed when public trees in an Oregon community were sprayed with a pesticide deadly to bees. Others were saved by quick action from the community and from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. New Under the Gardening Sun, Part 2: Awesome Annuals. I have a good excuse for why I havent posted recently- Ive been too busy planting cont...

Bloomingwriter: Gardening in Nova Scotia: August 2013
http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The Garden Colours of August. 160;Its late August, somehow- after a slow, cool start to spring and summer, things have become rather hot and dry in the past couple of weeks. I hear people lamenting a lack of colour in their gardens, and Im not sure why. Recently, I went to Quebec City to attend the annual Garden Writers Association. Wildflower Wednesday: Rejoicing in Milkweeds. Milkweeds belong to the genus Asclepias, in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Its related to dogbane (Apocynum), bluest...St Mar...

Bloomingwriter: Gardening in Nova Scotia: The Artist-Gardener of Liverpool
http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2009/02/artist-gardener-of-liverpool.html
The Artist-Gardener of Liverpool. Despite the best attempts of Mother Nature to bury this family of her Nova Scotian children in 78,000,0000,876,907,352,086 snowflakes. Ivan is an artist in every sense of the word, not only with plants, but with cement, pencil, pen and ink too. He is known for his lifesize (and beyond) concrete sculptures, which are all around the Garden Centre. I looked longingly at this handsome aeonium, as mine is feeling very hard-done-by back home, with insufficient sunlight and nau...

Bloomingwriter: Gardening in Nova Scotia: December 2014
http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
End of year roundup- favourites and more. We often have end-of-year retrospectives on many topics, including, of course, on gardening. I decided to do one primarily because most of my favourite plants this year, with one or two exceptions, have been around for a while and still remain some of my favourites. . Gold foliage for brighter gardens. Hello, fellow gardeners! Where have I been, you ask? Before December, even! Many gold-foliaged plants include the name 'aurea' in their botanical or cultivar names...

http://bloomingwriter.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Exciting breakthroughs in blue flower varieties. Blue is the rarest of colours in the flower world, which is probably why true-blue flowers like gentians cause people like me to gasp and lose my mind, and collect them wherever I can find them. The spring gentian, Gentiana acaulis, shows off each May with breathtaking, gentian-blue flowers, and will cause me to stop what I'm doing, sit down, stare and the flowers and just smile. When the Itoh peonies became widely available and more affordable, we were al...
