Mulch Is Mother Natures Blanket

  • Model Homes - Ellicott City3 These are 2 Spruces that anchor a lot in Ellicott City, Maryland that are extremely large for their kind in Maryland. The Norway Spruce is one of the largest in the state. The only larger Spruce I've ever seen in Maryland is in fact an Oriental Spruce and not a Norway. Blue Spruces tend to prefer cooler climates so the one in the photo is also an exceptional tree for the Baltimore area. So on this landscape renovation project I worked with the home owner to preserve and show off these trees that they are very happy to have on their lot. With little care other than a yearly cleaning out of old shaded out stems and a weekly or biweekly deep watering during summer drought, these Spruces will likely last decades and even centuries to come. The natural needle mulch was left in place. It keeps the soil cool and moist and adds to the health of these trees. Studies show that trees with no turf on their roots often grow double or more the rate of trees that do. I always enjoy preserving unique and historic plants on projects I work on. These Spruces required alot of climbing and alot of time as I selectively thinned out the canopies to enhance their natural effect. This has been one of my favorite projects this year. Hope you enjoy these photos. Before - June 2010 After - July 2010 Lawn was just treated permanently for Grubs with Milky Spore but would have to wait for cooler autumn weather to be seeded to repair grub damage - see spring 2011 pics for results Apr 5 2011 - My special order Texas White Redbuds finally came in* limbed up, feathered and fertilized, these spectacular Spruces dominate the neighborhood. They will be back with a vengeance!* the main event mulch and new plant beds comes next week! I found this old photo of myself a few days ago. I love this photo. It makes me nostalgic. And it reminds me to pray for this dear dear group of friends in New Jersey, almost all of whom tried to marry me off to their grown sons, ha!. And it makes me want to go shopping in an Indian market again! I still have this sari, by the way. But I love the color, and I think it looks okay on me. But I haven't bit that bullet yet. Some style-blogging type observations, since I'm still in style-blogging mode: The color of the sari is not far at all from the color of my veins in my wrist. Since when have I ever worn lipstick? The lipstick doesn't look super awful. Maybe I should consider wearing it occasionally? Maybe tinted lip balm though. I have henna in my hair in this photo too. And it looks sorta fake, just like my henna now does. I guess not much has changed. I used to think it looked so real. I still like the color though - maybe looking sorta fake isn't all bad? Rebecca says here and here that we should wear colors close to our face that have a similar value to our hair. That is, if you imagine the color in a grey-scale photo, they would look the same color So, I and you look better in colors that are about the same darkness value as my your hair, because they provide the same level of contrast from the skin. I hope that's not as confusing as it sounds! I have dark hair and light skin, so to frame my face well, I should wear darker colors - similar in darkness to my hair. This particular sari meets such criteria, I think. How's that for blogging three times in one week? I don't blame you if you don't bother to read because I'm chattering so much. It's the Anne of Green Gables influence, I think. It's so delightful to listen to that audiobook in the car, but my, she's long-winded!. Yeah, I'll blame it on her : Oh, and color-style-skilled friends with good visual abilities: Do I look like an autumn? Or a winter? Oh, never mind. I may as well give up fitting into that box. I don't mind being an out-of-the-box girl in yet another way.

    Thurkettle, 55, a chartered forester from Norfolk, said the warm spring and autumn weather had really helped the crop. While Roethke uses flora and wildlife to further draw a picture of what he is talking about, Frost simply uses the same subject as the basis for most of his work.

    Minimal usage of chemicals for fertilization and weeding. Last spring I was at The Anita Gorman Discovery Center and was delighted to find a buttonbush Cephalanthus occidentalis, a shrub native to this area.
