== [[#top|^]] Spring tasks ==
 
−
 
 
−
Not sure the official start date of spring season but goal to reach by middle of March is to clear the area between firepit and cherry trees south side of back yard, and mulch here with wood chips. "First pass" leveling means smoothing out a few places and features, but allowing what are the three main tiers to remain for spring time with wood chips mulch on top of them. These tiers are the flat area nearest the cherry trees, the narrow path of sorts which is a step down of about 30 cm from this south-most tier. This lowest path or channel is also where we encountered a simple piece of rebar buried deeply, took few day's digging to remove, digging few minutes each day.
 
−
 
 
−
The goals here are to create a safe space, at least up to its edges namely where the south walking ramp is under construction.  Also combined goal with safety is to clear and open the space so there is a visual impact and reference to much of the area we want to level further in a "second pass" with machinery.  That's a much larger removal of soil.  The clear and safe space after completing first pass work will also allow for safer access to ladder work and pruning in the cherry trees.
 
−
 
 
−
As a step and aid to clearing this space we'll select as many potted plants to give away as appear in good enough condition to do so.  Two plants which will stay in the area for the spring time are:  bergenia from the first house (growing in the ground now) and the original long step yellow rose also from the first house.

Lavendula stoechas:

<ul>

<i>
 +
French lavendar plants (lavendula stoechas) potted in one-gallon pots, for sale by Milwaukie gardener.
 +
 +
One-gallon plants, one-year old for sale for six dollars each ($6). We have some smaller lavendulas in four-inch starter pots, selling for three dollars ($3) each.
 +
 +
We like lavendula for its low-water needs, once established, and because it is a great nectar source for bees during May - June, and again early autumn.
 +
 +
Flower color varies from light lavender and pink shades to dark purple. Lighter shades of color in the flower are more common in our plants.
 +
 +
While the small plants are only a few inches tall right now, we have found that once planted in the ground with good draining full sun, the lavendula stoechas often grow to a foot tall by early autumn. Sometime even larger in one summer and fall period.
 +
 +
Organically grown, no sprays or synthetic chemicals used in growing these plants.
 +
 +
Cash-only sales and PayPal accepted. Questions about these plants welcome.

Guidance on wiki table syntax found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table#Whole_table_operations.



^ Plant descriptions

Following plant descriptions are for plants either sold out or temporarily not available in the size and form described:

  • Agapanthus, also called "Lily of the Nile", pot of about eight seedlings. Being seedlings we cannot say what color or tint the flowers will have, but a couple siblings of these shows light, light blue flowers. Lily of the Nile generally give blue flowers. There is also a white flowering cultivar in commerce, and some dark blue and dark purple variants of this tough, South African origin plant.

Trouble getting this one into the database 2018-12-03 . . . ah, must have some fields filled in on 'data' tab, and maybe 'links' tab in product editing pages! - TMH

  • Echinopsis oxygona, a barrel type cactus with very stubby short thorns. We've only grown this plant for a couple of years, and only small ones, but we have observed the beautiful and fragrant pink flowers a couple of times now on this safer less thorny cactus family member. In Pacific Northwest this plant will pretty much always be a container plant. One-year to two-year plants for sale for five dollars each, three year E. oxygona selling for eight dollars each. More info coming soon . . .


Active not side-lined . . .

Strawberries potted:

    Strawberry plants potted and for sale. Some in one-gallon pots, some in smaller starter pots. For sale by Milwaukie gardener selling these for one dollar ($1) each. We normally sell these for a little more but we're putting on a sale for the time being.
    Organically grown and cared for, no sprays or chemicals used.
    These strawberries are established in their pots, and won't miss a beat being planted in the ground anytime now. Our Willamette Valley weather is mild most of the year. Well rooted perennials in pots we can plant just about anytime the ground is not frozen.

Agave bracteosa:

    Two year agave bracteosa plant for sale, Milwaukie gardener selling for eight dollars ($8). Thornless hardy agave, can be planted in ground or grown as container specimen. An unusual agave that is underutilized in gardens in general. People-friendly and pet-friendly, soft leaves. Moderate growth rate, over a few years in well-drained garden spot will reach up to about 24 inches diameter, little bigger maybe, and about 15 inches tall. Grows best with some protection from overhead winter and early spring time rains. Mostly a foliage plant. Monocarpic (blooms once) but grows side plants, sometimes called "pups" in the intervening years up to flowering.

Lily of the Nile smaller form:

    Lily of the Nile plants, in two-gallon and three-gallon pots. For sale by Milwaukie gardener. Mature plants which are blooming size. This type of Lily of the Nile has light blue flowers in July and early August, atop eighteen-inch to twenty four-inch stems. One of the smaller and cold hardier forms of Lily of the Nile (agapanthus). May die back to ground in harder Pacific Northwest frost event, but easy to mulch before such times to protect the current leaves on the plant. Cash-only sales and PayPal accepted. Questions welcome.


Lavendula stoechas:

    French lavendar plants (lavendula stoechas) potted in one-gallon pots, for sale by Milwaukie gardener. One-gallon plants, one-year old for sale for six dollars each ($6). We have some smaller lavendulas in four-inch starter pots, selling for three dollars ($3) each. We like lavendula for its low-water needs, once established, and because it is a great nectar source for bees during May - June, and again early autumn. Flower color varies from light lavender and pink shades to dark purple. Lighter shades of color in the flower are more common in our plants. While the small plants are only a few inches tall right now, we have found that once planted in the ground with good draining full sun, the lavendula stoechas often grow to a foot tall by early autumn. Sometime even larger in one summer and fall period. Organically grown, no sprays or synthetic chemicals used in growing these plants. Cash-only sales and PayPal accepted. Questions about these plants welcome.
