Column: Columbines can bring happiness to the garden
There are certain flowers that I call “happy” flowers because of their characteristics. The Columbine falls into this category with their carefree and light nature.

Begonias can brighten up any dark spot
We all have those areas in our yards where the sunlight doesn’t shine, leaving us at odds at what to plant to bring out a little color. The begonia is a diverse annual that works very well at brightening up a dark and shady spot. Some varieties prefer full shade where others can handle full sunlight allowing us to pick and choose which selection will work best for our own particular needs.

Create a hummingbird garden
Of all the birds that visit our garden throughout the year, I think it is the ruby-throated hummingbird that captivates us most. I’m not sure if it is the delicate features it exhibits, the fast flap of the wings, or its ability to remain somewhat elusive. I know I enjoy many birds that come through the garden during the summer and other times of the year.

Native plants in the garden can be unique
So often we discuss the design elements of common bushes, trees, annuals and perennials. Usually these are items we find in the local nurseries for purchase to plant into our landscapes. Most of these items I refer to as domestic plants, items that are propagated for the mainstream landscapes.

Rhubarb can bring tartness to many items
Rhubarb brings back many early childhood memories. I remember filling a Dixie-cup half way with sugar, running out to cut a fresh stalk, rinsing it under the garden hose (yes, we could do that in those days without getting sick) and dipping the end into the sugar for a sweet and sour treat. Without the sugar it was just too tart to be eaten alone.

Spring is the best time to divide perennials
Well, it was inevitable. The temperatures have increased and the snow has disappeared. Now the perennials and spring bulbs are trying to make up for lost time and are quickly coming up to make the garden look alive once again. Since we lost the entire month of April to be in the gardens, cleaning out old plant materials, picking up broken branches, and collecting the blown leaves, we will find ourselves extremely busy trying to get everything done in time for planting.

Garden walls come alive with ‘living pictures’
Looking for a fresh way to liven up your garden walls? Think plants, not paintings.
Living pictures — cuttings of assorted succulents woven together in everything from picture frames to pallet boxes — have caught on among garden designers and landscapers this spring as an easy, modern way to add color and texture to an outdoor space.

Proper pruning will ensure healthy plants
As suspected, the weather is changing quickly in our area. The warmer temperatures are finally moving in after a long and patient wait. In the coming weeks you will see very noticeable changes within the yard and garden. Plants will impatiently begin to spring from the ground and the buds on the trees will rapidly expand to eventually produce their lush canopy of leaves. This is also a good time to get any springtime pruning done before the leaves begin to appear.
