If you haven’t already done this and you live in a colder climate, it just takes a moment to tip over your ceramic pots or roll them out of view. I just did this a couple of days ago finally because it’s been pretty mild. When it snows or even rains and there is moisture in the pot, the water freezes and expands and this can crack the pot. There are other strategies, like covering the pots or putting them in a garage. I’ve heard others report that even elevating them off the ground slightly can do it but this is what I do and this took 2 minutes. Note: if you have terra cotta pots I have been told this does not work you may want to employ one of the other strategies. Happy tipping and rolling! Song: “Cold” by Chris Stapleton.

Today is our “house-iversary” because we bought it on this day in 2010.🏡 I love looking backward to remind myself of how things have changed and to see progress. The potential was incredible because there was barely anything on this half acre property. If anyone else has a lot of potential on their property but feels totally overwhelmed think about making changes over a long period of time as opposed to feeling like it all needs to happen at once. Every area has been transformed over the years and we did it all ourselves except for a big project in 2012 to move the driveway and put in a patio. (I’ll cover that later.) You can see other pictures and videos of my garden in the playlists if you’re interested. I will go through various areas of the yard and I’m starting with this one. Chronological order: Pictures 1 & 2: 2011 3 &4: 2014 5:219 6: 2020 7, 8, 9, 10: 2022 11,12,13: 2023 14-20: 2024 In picture 17 you can see the wheelbarrow. That huge Chinese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) needed to come out because it was overpowering the space and it is also on the watch list for invasive in MA.

This area is my favorite.🥰 (See yesterday’s post for a little more context and information.) I look at it all the time and I have put a lot of effort and quite a bit of money into it over the years. I started small with a few plants on the right side. Then I gradually planted more to the left and in a curved shape away from the shed, resulting in a distinct and separate area. This is often referred to as creating “rooms.” This can make things more interesting and you can have a lot of fun with this. Note: it can also be challenging to think about the transitions between these areas so keep that in mind if you’re going to create one of your own. Unfortunately a few large trees had to come down (hemlocks and maple) and we had a lot more sun in this area than we did previously. I did the patio in 2021 and we were able to move the hot tub over to create more space and the whole area was transformed. That project was a big undertaking and I had never done anything like that but I love the way it turned out and it only cost $750 in materials and delivery. There is a strip of cement under the pea gravel area along the house (and under the new patio). It has forced me not to plant too close to the house, which is great, but I could have used another foot for that limelight hydrangea. I added cobblestones there in 2022 to contain the stones, which can easily leak if you don’t. (Mulch too.) This area is still evolving. I just cut down both of the rose of sharons on either side of the path past the hot tub this year and we dug out the burning bush by the fence last fall and I replaced it with winter berries but just moved them last month and put in a red twig dogwood instead.

May can’t get here soon enough.😭 Every year I do it this way and then fret a bit about how it’s all going to unfold.(Anyone else?) It takes me longer to lay them all out and plan than it does to actually get them in the ground.😅😂 Since people often ask: yes, I dump the whole bag in at a time and no, they don’t need to be facing up. I treat the tulips like annuals because they don’t reliably return where I live (Boston area). I also have allium, daffodils and hyacinth, which do come back so I try to keep those in. When the tulips are done I replace them with annuals. If the ground isn’t frozen where you live and you still have some bulbs to plant, pop them in!😄 #youcandoitgardening #bulbs #tulips #daffodils #springgarden #gardeningtips #gardeningforbeginners #gardener #gardeninglife #landscaping

I’m sharing my process as I consider changes to a prominent area. Things are not always obvious and this is especially true for one’s own garden, where objectivity is sometimes hard to have. (Relatable!?🙃) I ponder this area all the time but I can’t quite figure out that transition.🤔 I love that little patch of grass actually, but I think it could be more interesting and it would be great to have a little bird bath in there for even more visual appeal when and if the birds use it. Possible even a bird feeder in the winter. This is a high priority area because I look out the window at it all the time. This is the kind of pondering I often do about various areas of my yard and there are sometimes I wing it but there are some challenges that are best thought through in advance. Winter is a wonderful time to look at gardening books and other gardens for inspiration. And just to look. If I do this, I plan to use wood chips or pine needles for the path from the shed to the grass I have pine needles on the other side of this area and wood chips going to the compost area) and also along the hot tub path but my issue here is transition from that grass area to that path. (I will also use the same materials for this path.) Between the stones would be creeping phlox. The other pictures are from our cottage in NH. It’s much bigger but it’s the same idea and I started that one in 2018. Thoughts for the transition of anything else?

An easy way to get native plants in your garden is to winter so seeds in plastic containers like milk jugs. We use the milk jugs to create a mini greenhouse that we set outdoors so that native seeds can go through the cold stratification period many of them require before they will germinate in the spring. it doesn’t have to be a milk jug. It can be any plastic container that has drainage holes punched in the bottom, there needs to be a lid with holes, and you need to be able to open the container to check on your seedlings. The containers also must allow some light to get through. Be sure to check what type of germination code your specific seed requires so then you can time when to set your seeds outdoors for their winter stratification time. when it’s time to set your greenhouse outside, put it in a sunny location without a lot of wind and make sure there is nothing covering the container that could block rain and snow from getting in the holes in the top. We need moisture and airflow to come in through the top of the container to keep the soil moist all winter. Follow me in the spring and I’ll do a series of videos about how to manage your seeds until they are large enough to be planted out in the ground when the soil in the ground is warm enough for planting.

Usually you want some soil around the roots but I didn't do that here. Research indicates that planting 5-6 weeks prior to the ground freezing is advised, to allow roots to establish, but who can tell when that will be anymore and I don't worry about that. Regardless, watering when planting and afterward is essential, even when it's cold. I have watered once already and then it rained. I'll leave it upright over the winter to provide some structure and will cut it back down to the ground in the spring. It's not a guarantee it will survive but this is part of the fun of gardening for me--to see what will happen. I'm pretty confident but we'll see. The other plant was beach rose and I was tired of that and I have another one opposite the one I removed. I planted both of those about 8 years ago.

Continuing along with the retrospective (see prior two posts for more), this area’s most interesting transformation has occurred over the last two years. When we moved the driveway in 2012 we planted three fruit trees there. Only one remains. In 2012 we replaced one of them with a river birch. Later, we replaced the other one with a weigela and the other one with a river birch. (The “orchard” will be a separate future post.) I started carving out more garden beds in the fall of 2022 and early this year I started killing off the rest of the area with wood chips. (The siren song of tree work nearby caused me to walk over and see if they could possibly dump their truck load into our driveway.) This area has been fun to conceptualize and the game here is to buy nothing and to fill it in with divisions from this house and our cottage in New Hampshire, transplants, castoffs from others and a handful of purchased native plants. The theme here is drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly and as many native plants as possible. I transplanted single stem plants and am willing to be patient. It can take a very long time to make significant changes to your landscapes so be patient. It all doesn’t need to happen all at once. The wood chips worked great but you need at least 6”-8” to kill grass. They break down slowly and act as a slow release fertilizer. I added leaves and grass clippings to build up the remaining soil around that, (this also adds a lot of great nutrients as it breaks down) I killed off the initial area along the sidewalk with cardboard, and the area to the left of that by digging it up. I use pine needles from the neighbors as mulch. I am so excited to see this area evolve!

These are a few highlights from the fall from our cottage in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, in chronological order. I have left everything alone and will do a minimal cleanup in the spring to tidy up but the vibe in this garden is very loose. We are lucky because there are no rabbits there and the deer haven’t discovered it (yet). For more on this magical location see the Cottage Garden playlist.

Through the kitchen and dining room windows during 2024. Prominent views deserve our attention and this one receives a disproportionate amount of my time and therefore, my investment. (See post in the Garden Tours playlist to see what this area has looked like over the years. This takes TIME so don’t expect a major transformation quickly.)
