A reader asks if perennial ryegrass is rough for lawns. The Lawn Institute notes modern ryegrasses are tough and attractive, compatible with Kentucky Bluegrass, and seedings germinate quickly for instant lawns and repair.
The reader describes attempts to grow Oicentra spectabilis hybrid Bountiful in sun with rich soil, only to fail, while Primula japonica thrives in a shaded, moist bed. Five of the original three plants show thirsty roots after relocation, and the observer notes a perfect success rate with Primula japonica from Gladys Grime’s Firelands Garden Club seedlings.
The article highlights fancy leaved geraniums like Skies of Italy Mine Margot Sunset and Cherry Sundae. It notes that full sun produces bright colors, while shade dulls the handsome hues.
A gardener recounts observations on candelabra group flowering, Nicotiana Dwarf White Bedder, and several perennials. He notes hummingbird nectar sources, wren and catbird activity, and the scent and bloom times of Cyclamen, Broom Cylisus praecox, Mountain Ash Sorbus, and tree peonies. The piece covers composting, bed preparation, and soil pH management for successful dahlias and peonies, with garden routines and plant care tips.
Radishes are easy to grow yet plagued by maggots and bottomless tops. Suggestions include boiling water over seed, Sevin dust, wood ashes, or dipping seed in kerosene. Sow 4% inch deep and 1 inch apart, thin thinning weekly for a steady crop through cool periods. Varieties include Champion and Cherry Belle. Cherry Belle matures in 28 days and is good for windows or greenhouses.
Apartment dwellers can grow lettuce tomatoes and cucumbers on a porch using a five foot high wire trellis attached to a wooden board and filled with moss soil.
