In general, it’s best to water the ground around your plants. Obviously plants can get wet but foliage that is consistently wet can result in mildew and disease. Also, on extremely hot sunny days water droplets can magnify the sunlight hitting your plants resulting in burnt spot on the leaves.
Had a few unplanted perennials and ornamental grasses left over at the end of the season so I “planted” the pots in my raised beds and will find homes for these flowers in some landscape designs in the spring.
Garden Restoration
Over-grown or neglected gardens are often simply the result of a homeowners lack of time. Taming a tangled mass of crowded trees & shrubs and perennials which are lost among the weeds can be a daunting task to take on but we can help.
Restoring and giving new life to a forgotten garden or old landscape design is a labor of love and patience. A garden restoration begins with a thorough assessment of the garden's current state, carefully noting its original layout, key features, and the plantings which have endured the test of time. With this understanding, the restoration unfolds with a balance of preservation and rejuvenation. Over-grown shrubs are pruned back and weeds are removed to reveal forgotten plantings. Compost is added to the garden’s soil, enriching it with nutrients to revitalize plant life. Historical elements, such as stone pathways, patios or ornate statues, can also be restored. As each season passes and with proper care, the garden gradually transforms, blossoming into a harmonious mix of color, texture, and fragrance.
