The Radio Garden
The Radio Garden is a tiny plot in Felder's celebrated cottage garden that has "something done to it" every single week of the year - regardless of weather - to show that anyone can garden in a small space without working up a sweat. Along with selected seasonal annuals (antique and modern hybrid flowers, small-space vegetables and useful herbs), it includes hardy perennials, bulbs, and dwarf shrubs and antique roses. There is also a water feature, a large pot made from a tire, and night lighting. It is mostly natural, using compost, mostly organic fertilizers and no pesticides. Visit every week to see what Felder is up to - that you can be doing in your own garden.
This Week's Chore:
This little spate of cool weather MADE me plant pansies and violas (Johnny jump-ups) - perfectly winter-hardy everblooming companions to the already-planted purple kale, burgundy mustard, and soon-to-be-planted daffodils. Always spread roots of new plants so they can get established more quickly.
