    Here's more info on the variety you have: Epimedium x perralchicum'Fröhnleiten' ...»

    One of the great workhorses for the garden, this old cultivar is still at the top of its class. The rich, dark-green, glossy foliage is fully evergreen. Cut the leaves to the ground in mid-winter to make room for the brilliant canary-yellow flowers. When it is finished blooming red stained leaves unfurl, highlighted with chartreuse-green veins. This is one of the best epimedium for use as a ground cover. Once established, few weeds can push their way through the dense root system and thick foliage cover.

  • Vetch spreading randomly throughout some of my gardens, especially the flowering raised beds.
  • Vetch invading some of the perennials, choking them
  • More vetch randomly invading phlox and other perennials ~ my columbine, butterfly bush, flax, etc.

Gardening: Vetch

Does anyone have a solution to ridding my raised beds of vetch ~ it keeps invading my perennials here in southern Maine and the more I try to remove it and its roots, the more that seems to appear. Suggestions, PLEASE!

    become like paper mache as it dries. This will form a barrier that will smother any roots that sprout. You will have to deal with sprouts that come up right at the base of your plants, but that's a lot less work than the entire bed. You can also put a decorative mulch over the paper if the white bothers you. I didn't and my son asked my why it snowed in only one corner of our yard!

  • The beginning of the end for my 3rd try with Vinca this year.

Gardening: Vinca having a bad year??

I have planted Vinca for years in my sunny spots and it has always done well. This year I have replaced it for the 3rd time and now I'm giving up. Anyone know of a disease Vinca has this year?

    always a possibility too.

    One thing confuses me a bit. Why are you having to replant every year? Don't know if you have Vinca Major or Minor but both are perennials.

  • My take on the garden hose wreath.
  • Window boxes on the fence.
  • A gift from my son, who knows my fetish oh so well.
  • Hostas in containers.
  • The iron work on the fence is a bit of an old bench. I moved this chair into this area and added a bicycle basket planter on the fence.
  • My tower has grown by one more level this year and continues to be one of my favorite elements.
  • I have such a fetish for galvanized stuff.
  • My neighbors had to remove four towering pines this spring..changing the quality of light.
  • Hangers on the shed with spray painted pots.
  • Wax begonias under planting boxwoods in patio pots.
  • A bit of silliness.
  • I love geraniums.
  • I love container gardening, especially when I can put together unusual combinations of greenery.
  • Just another view of one of two thrifted planters...my husband dreams of huge ceramic planters and I dream of affording them!
  • Hose wreath number two--yep, I am so cheap, er thrifty,that I cut one hose in two.
  • A moment of silence for the three trees we lost this winter.  Hello roses.
  • So, if you have an old aquarium stand laying about, I have a suggestion for you.

Beginning to Look Like Spring...

It sure feels like my garden is off to a very slow start. What a Schizophrenic start we have had to the growing season. In just a few short weeks we have had snow, 100 degree temperatures, and a bit of a cold snap.
