Automobiles and your Landscape pjlan Automobiles and their passengers aren't notably kind to gardens. Parking strips and driveway areas are subject to much abuse, yet are first seen by guests and set the standard for the entire street. In landscaping plans, don't forget to allow space for opening car doors and the overhang between tire and bumper, This means using low ground covers and keeping taller plants and trees well back out or range. Taller plants can provide privacy and screening, shade, and act as a dust trap and noise barrier around the house. Plantings will be most effective if you keep them simple and predominantly predom-inantly evergreen with flower color only as an extra bonus. Select specific ground covers, shrubs and trees that grow well in the various climates to solve each of the problems discussed. Growing roses in containers Have you tried growing roses ros-es in containers? They'll do well, and will provide you with a changing scene if you move them or group them with a variety of other plants. This month you can buy roses in bloom and transplant them into in-to containers for an immediate effect on the patio. Under-glazed Under-glazed clay pots or wood boxes box-es are best but you can use almost any type of container. A Hybrid Tea rose from a 1-gallon 1-gallon can will need 1 cubic foot of soil. During warm weather you may need to water wa-ter them every day, fertilize the plants about once a month, and spray frequently for clean, showy displays. A rose that has been potted correctly can remain in the same container indefinitely. |
