October in the Flower Garden Preparing for Winter

A very busy time begins in the garden as the summer and autumn flowers fade. Although much depends upon the weather, the time is approaching quickly when we must put everything in order for the winter. In my part of the country, Halloween, at the end of the month, usually is heralded in with snow and cold temperatures.

The whole flower garden should be dug over, but it is most important not to injure the hardy plants that will remain. Where there are a lot of these, it is safer to dig with a fork than a spade. A spade is much more likely to cut roots through if it comes across them. This, of course, presupposes you already have a flower bed with easily worked soil. Annual plants may all be pulled up and carted away to the compost bin as they cease to flower.

Building a No Dig Garden

The no dig garden is exactly what it describes...a fertile garden bed with no digging at all. It involves layering clean, organic materials that will literally compost around your plants as they grow.

The No Dig Garden is built on top of the ground, so you can build a garden anywhere. This makes it extremely attractive for those sites that have poor soil or are weed infested. It's also a great method of gardening for those who can't (or don't want to) dig a garden patch!

The site you choose for your garden must get at least 5 hours of sunlight a day. Drainage will be good because of the materials that will be used in making the garden.

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

The Kwanzan Flowering Cherry Tree, `Prunus serrulata Kwanzan,' will rapidly grow to its mature height of twenty to thirty feet. This deciduous tree is one of the most popular flowering cherry trees available on the market. It has clear pink, double blooms, with multiple petals like a carnation. The flowering period is three weeks long. Once the blooms have been spent, they will give way to light green foliage that has a red tinge. This beautiful ornamental flowering tree is also known as the Japanese Flowering Cherry Tree.

Red Delicious Apple Tree

The Red Delicious is the most widely grown variety of apple in the entire world. It is also one of America's favorite for snacking. Red Delicious apples have a very firm, creamy white flesh, and are juicy, aromatic and very sweet. The fruit is heart shaped and generally bright red in color, but often exhibits some red striping. These apples can keep fresh for a very long time, and are found all year in stores. They also look great for extended periods when left out, and thus are the favored choice for holiday decorations and wreaths.

Red Pendula Begonia

The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers. This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water. Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size. Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms. Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
