Let’s look at ways to keep the garden looking great this week.
Five things to do in the garden this week:One of the best is lemon verbena. Although in an ornamental garden, it assumes a humble place. Lemon verbena is winter deciduous and remains leafless until June. Just when you are convinced it’s dead, leaves reappear and do provide a certain luster so that you wonder how you could have doubted its resilience. Sprays of white flowers are also in evidence.
Here we are talking about slopes with a grade up to 33%; steeper slopes may require stabilization practices such as terracing or covering the ground with jute netting, which is biodegradable. Even on slopes with a moderate grade where erosion is still a concern, laying down jute netting, held in place by anchor pins or staples, is wisely done prior to planting.
Matilija poppy is indigenous to Southern California and grows rapidly here, once established, thanks to its rhizomes. Matilija poppies are somewhat tricky to plant and to propagate but this is the time to do it. Cut off the bottom of the container in which it grows before placement in the planting hole. Once in place, cut away the sides of the container and backfill the hole. To propagate a Matilija poppy, carefully dig up a rhizome that has sprouted a shoot.
