Showy coronilla plant valued for fragrance and form

The coronilla is a legume resembling the garden pea in foliage and flower shape. It bears groups of seven or eight rich yellow blossoms, fragrant by day and odorless at night. This half hardy evergreen shrub grows two to four feet high, suited for greenhouse or window culture, with pinching to encourage new growth and buds. It prefers two thirds loam and one third turfy peat, needs good drainage, and should not dry out. Cuttings root under glass in spring and establish with bottom heat.

Growing Sweet Peas For A Long Blooming Season

The article outlines steps to cultivate sweet peas for extended flowering. Start seeds early to gain spring strength, prepare deep soil with bone meal and wood ashes, plant in four to five inch trenches, cover with two inches of soil and add later topsoil as growth advances, mulch in summer and water during dry spells, and pick flowers before they drop to avoid seed production.

Pruning Raspberries and Blackberries After Harvest

An important pruning step is removing wood older than this season. Do it after harvest to easily distinguish fruiting wood from current growth and redirect energy to new shoots for next season. If done in spring, cut lateral branches from eight to twelve inches to promote annual growth ending in fruit clusters.

Cheap hotbed construction tip for practical growers
