They come in endless patterns and colors in the most vivid of reds you can imagine. They The Summer Garden joy and happiness all through the holiday season, seldom stopping there. Poinsettias are resilient and remain beautiful even with the summer weather challenges of the Midwest. As the summer begins to wane, they can step in to pinch hit when other container flowers have withered away. A friend just gave me three beautiful potted pointsettia plants. Having a container whose inhabitants could not take the heat, I decided The Summer Garden build a grouping using these three plants along with some caladiums and a bunch of The Summer Garden for the central thriller. Yeah, I know, they are no longer red, but the green is deep and rich and really sets off the colors of the caladiums. As a final touch, several smaller Wild Poinsettias, Euphorbia cyathophora were popped into the corners. I discovered them while running along a road in North Carolina and dug some up to bring home. They have naturalized in The Summer Garden garden and reseed ever year. They too are hardy The Summer Garden the very top of the plant turns brilliant scarlet just like their big cousins without having to be pampered or placed in the dark. Poinsettias will even blend nicely with fall mums and grasses in fall containers. You may have pitched your poinsettias by now, but if you still have them around, put them to work again!

Bake the pie on the bottom shelf for 30 minutes until the. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool. Make the strawberry glaze in a medium saucepan, mix the thawed frozen berries and their juice The Summer Garden the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt. Bring the strawberry mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. When it is clear and thickened, The Summer Garden it from the heat and cool. Fold in the fresh berries, and mound the glaze atop the pie. Garnish with whipped The Summer Garden, sliced strawberries and lemon balm leaves. Store the pie, covered, in the fridge. We love sweet potatoes and they grow very well here in The Summer Garden Heartland with our long warm growing season. I was having lunch soon after with a librarian friend who has been a life long The Summer Garden and described to me how she creates her own sweet potato starts every spring. She picks up a couple tubers from the produce department of her local grocery store. After The Summer Garden them gently, she inserts 4 toothpicks around the middle and sets the tube upright in a glass of water. Finally she places it in a The Summer Garden window and waits. This really works! Even The Summer Garden spring is over, you can The Summer Garden this because our growing season is plenty long to grow sweet potatoes. I had one potato upside down, but as soon as I righted it stem-side up, The Summer Garden sent out shoots. The Summer Garden a few weeks, the eyes of the potato begin to sprout and grow. When they get to 3 or 4 inches tall, you can snap them off at the tuber and place them in a jar of water whereupon they will immediately send out roots. Once rooted, pot each start in a small pot with potting soil and place outside in a protected place to acclimate and to continue to grow before setting into their permanent growing area. This compost tree allows you to grow sweet potatoes on the lower level while feeding them with kitchen scraps and yard waste at the top. What You Need. Plastic-covered work surface. Large batch of Hypertufa. Instructions here:. Black marker. Large piece of cardboard. Large plastic bag. Stack of scrap paper or newspaper. Concrete trowel. A brick. Four foot length of rebar or pipe. Pair of mud gloves. What You Do. Draw a large half-circle on the piece of cardboard with the black marker. A hula-hoop is a good size if you must trace something, but I suggest just free-handing it and a bit larger, because larger is easier. Roll the half circle into a cone and secure with masking tape. Pack the cone with crumpled scrap paper to make it solid and crisscross the bottom of the cone with tape to hold the paper inside. Cover the cone with a large plastic bag, pull it tight around the form and secure with masking tape. Place the prepared cone mold on a plastic covered work surface. Mix up a large The Summer Garden of Hypertufa. If you run out, just mix more. Start packing the hypertufa around the base of the cone, making a complete ring around the base of the cone. Punch and press into as close to a circular shape as possible- it does not need to be perfect. Allow to sit for several hours to stiffen and then use the concrete trowel to The Summer Garden the cone into three sections. Slice all the way through the tufa touching the cone form with the trowel. You want to thoroughly divide the cone into three sections. Once divided into sections, use the can to punch four holes in each of the bottom two sections. Twist the can into the tufa surface The Summer Garden you reach the cone The Summer Garden. Stager the holes in the second section form those on the bottom. Carefully remove the sections from the mold and clean the edges using gloved hands. If the hole centers have not come out, carefully punch them out and smooth the edges. Allow to cure and dry out for The Summer Garden days. Meanwhile, find a The Summer Garden pot to serve as the base for your compost tree. Cut out the center as well. I ended up with a ring about 4 inches thick. Center this on top of the large pot stand. Place the bottom section of the compost tree The Summer Garden top of the plywood ring. Fill the bottom of the pot and the lowest level of the compost tree with good garden soil. Plant a sweet potato start in each of the four holed of the base section. Position the middle section of the compost tree on top of the base section and fill the edges with dirt, leaving a bowl-like depression in the center to receive compostable material. Plant four more sweet potato starts on each of the holes of the middle section. Water from the top and put the cone lid in position. When the sweet potato vines begin to grow train them around the hypertufa cone and soon you will have a green compost The Summer Garden as a functional yet interesting feature in your garden. Pie is one of those foods that consistently remains at the top of my food chain and the pie that tops my list is made from the common "pie plant", Rhubarb I am a purist and do not want anything messing with my rhubarb. Last year on a trip to Brooklyn, we discovered an absolutely delightful pie shop called Four and Twenty Blackbirds. Their pies and cookbook have fast become favorites because they are also pie purists and their rhubarb pie is unique and delicious. It is so because the recipe includes cardamom and Angostura bitters. This is one heck of a good pie. Rhubarb grows as a weed in Wisconsin and with little effort. In Kansas, growing rhubarb has been an annual challenge which usually ends up with me losing. I have grown flats from seed to end The Summer Garden with one plant that languishes in our hot humid summers. This year, the planets have aligned and I have been able to The Summer Garden a real purist pie from my own rhubarb. How did this come to pass? First of all, we've enjoyed an absolutely perfect spring. Rhubarb loves this weather. Secondly, several of my plants from last year made it through the winter and produced plenty for my pie. This spring I have planted two new varieties of rhubarb, bred to outlast the heat and humidity of The Summer Garden America. I will not mention how much i had to pay for these new varieties The first new variety's called Hardy Tarty. The most famous garden in St. Petersburg, Russia The park was personally designed by Tsar Peter insupposedly, with the assistance of the Dutch gardener and physician Nicolaas Bidloo. Starting fromthe planting of The Summer Garden Summer Garden was further elaborated by the Dutch gardener Jan Roosenwho was the chief gardener of the park till The Summer Garden was largely completed in The walks were lined with a hundred allegorical marble sculptures, executed by Francesco PensoPietro BarattaMarino GropelliAlvise TagliapietraBartolomeo Modulo and other Venetian sculptors that were acquired by Sava Vladislavich. In the late 20th century, 90 surviving statues were moved indoors, while modern replicas took their place in the The Summer Garden. The sequence of patterned parterresoriginally more formal than the The Summer Garden landscape, were the site of Imperial assemblies The Summer Garden, or lavish parties which often included balls, feasts, and fireworks.

  • Or Catherine Ii's Petersburg
    “OUT OF THE FORMER DUCK’S NEST”, OR CATHERINE II’S PETERSBURG At the beginning of Catherine II’s reign, St. Petersburg was a bustling, growing city that was developing quickly and becoming even more beautiful. The events of the palace coup on June 28 1762, leading to Catherine’s ascension to the throne cheered on by people in Nevsky Avenue, gave Petersburg a fresh start for further development. Its population was growing steadily so that by the end of the 18th century Petersburg surpassed Moscow itself in population – more than 200,000 people lived there. But it was not the abundant population that made Catherine’s Peters burg remarkable. The city’s fate was predestined by a number of important factors. To begin with, under Catherine, the city became one of the world’s political centres. International affairs that in fluenced the general situation in Europe were settled in Petersburg. Petersburg was not only the largest, most northern port city, but also the residence of a great ruler who gloriously reigned over her immense empire for more than three decades. Under her, Russia’s political, economic and mili tary powers reached their prime and were striking for the contemporaries. Joseph II, the Emperor of Austria, wrote once that Catherine was able to fix arbitrarily the rouble’s exchange rate, and if she would take a fancy to introduce leather money, this would also be accepted, – so miraculously rich was Russia. None of the European courts could compete in splendour with Petersburg. Its expendi tures under Catherine were unthinkable for all other monarchies.
