If you have roses that have already been potted, planting them in the ground is a relatively simple task. The plant is already established in soil and is growing.

There are several important factors that go into planting roses for the best result. Choosing the correct site is one of the most important aspects, but using the proper techniques while planting them is also vital to keeping the plants healthy. Most rose species require direct sunlight for six or more hours each day. This provides [...]

Fall Planting – Fall Crops & Winter Storage Sadly, too many of us are tired of our gardens by fall, often because weeds have taken over, or because we planted the wrong things and we can’t even get rid of them.

This is actually a never ending debate among the scientificcommunity and the biodynamic gardening community.

There are several things to consider when selecting trees. First, find out how big the trees are going to get and decide which ones are are a good fit for your yard.

My mother grew up only two towns over from the town I grew up in and live in now.In the backyard where she used to run and play every afternoon in the spring and summer were huge hydrangeas, more specifically known as Annabelle Hydrangeas.

Planting zones in the United States, which are also known as Hardiness Zones, can be thought of as the rate of survival to the plant life in that particular region during cold periods, such as winter. In effect it is the survival rate ability of a plant during the winter months that can fruitfully live on into the next growing season. The zones were first developed by the United States Department of Agriculture, or the USDA. After the USDA developed these zones, they were subsequently adopted elsewhere. They are categorized according to the mean of the lowest temperature recorded each winter, termed the "average annual minimum temperature". The USDA Hardiness Zone Map divides North America into 11 separate zones; each zone is 10°F warmer (or colder) in an average winter than the adjacen

My sister has this amazing piece of property filled with a rainbow array of flowers randomly scattered throughout her front yard. She has two small children, a schedule filled with play dates, a job and no time to do much of anything else. But with a garden of any type…it must be tended. Outside and alone in the quiet of the afternoon I chopped away at the dense poison ivy that snaked through the undergrowth and spiraled up the various trees. Pulled out the multitude of weeds that had grown so high that they were begining to topple under their own weight. From beneath the bushes I raked at the dried lifeless leaves trapped in the tangle of it all. A few garbage bags later, a lot of sweat and dirt I had cleared away a small section. Taking off the gloves I wore, I began digging my hands i

This morning at the Exponential Conference, I attended a session that focused on multi-ethnic church planting. This is becoming a growing passion for me. I believe that church planting in America must embrace starting multi-ethnic churches.In today's session, George Yancey discussed several approaches to assessing churches and identifying the multiracial potential of your church.Rev. Ed Lee, pastor of Mosaic Community Covenant Church in Missouri City, Texas (mosaicpeople.org), presented a very helpful comparison of a variety of approaches to being a multi-ethnic church. The reality is that not all churches that would identify themselves as "multi-ethnic" will look the same or have the same emphasis, fundamental commitments, or motivations. I would encourage you to spend some time studying

I am at the National New Church Conference in Orlando, Florida this week. I arrived a day earlier to attend a Pre-Conference Intensive on "Attractional AND Incarnational Church Planting." Sally Morgenthaler is moderating a panel with Darrin Patrick, Alan Hirsch, Greg Hawkins and Neil Cole. They've tried really hard not to create sparks and controversy by making this a discussion of which is a better: the attractional approach vs. the incarnational approach.Unfortunately, there were some technical issues that made it difficult as they got started. Overall, it was an interesting discussion as each speaker explained their perspectives on ministry that is incarnational.Here are some quotes to ponder:Greg Hawkins"If you are just trying to attract to get big - that's nasty.""I've been around too

On Sunday my son and I planted three lilac trees for my wife. She loves lilac trees and we've been trying to decide what to plant along the west side of the house. That side of the house has two retaining walls the step the land along the "walkout" basement.The lilac trees we bought are about 36 inches tall with a root ball about 10 inches in diameter. The directions recommend a hole about 2 to 3 times larger than the root ball. Our lot is VERY sandy, in fact there is about 5 inches or so of loam on top of what I call beach sand. The good thing about this is lilacs like a well drained soil. So, we dug the holes and then filled the bottom with some good loam.Lilac trees grow best in a soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Unfortunately our soil has a pH of about 5.3 (see previous post on soil

George Patterson worked in northern Honduras with the Conservative Baptist Home Mission Society. He developed a theological education by extension program that focused on "obedience-oriented eduction." I had the privilege of meeting him when I was first starting Lake Hills Church in Castaic.I recently read an article he had written and was challenged by these words...Christ commands us: "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields" (John 4:35). A brief glance at the "fields" of over two and a half billion unreached people is awesome. Just the mathematics involved forces us to the conclusion that it is not enough to simply go to the mission field or to send someone else. It is not eve enough to go to a mission field and to start a few churches. Obedience to the Great Commission will mean that

Efforts to start new churches are fueled by a godly vision that focuses on living and proclaiming the gospel message to every man, woman and child in a specific geographic area so that they may come to know and believe in Jesus Christ. If God has given you a vision to start a new church that will extend His kingdom, it is important to articulate the essential components of your vision and strategy by addressing the following questions. Praying through these questions and discovering the answers will assist other in identifying ways that to partner together with you to fulfill the Great Commission.1. Vision – What is your vision? (include your mission statement, core values, purpose, goals, etc.)2. Personal Background – What has brought you to plant a church and what uniquely qualifies

Saturday saw more planting being done by the Lawley Green Space Group. We concentrated on the new wildflower area, that is down towards the bridge that crosses over the brook. Virtually all of the 300 wildflower plugs have now been planted , shared between the Orchard and this area. The post that have been supporting the existing trees in the area have been removed, as they are now large enough to support themselves, and cut up to make the edging for the bed.3 more trees have also been added, 2 crab apples and a flowering cherry. the bed has also been split into three areas by paths that lead you down to the brook. One of the trees has been planted into the beds with a view of giving all year round interest. The path takes you to the fence in front of the brook, where you can watch and lis

So, your perennial border is prepared with the requisite quantities of plant food soil and drainage grit if required. What's next? * Plant Selection Once you have gotten this far in the process, it is time to think about actually selecting the plants that will populate the bed or border itself. My first piece of advice to gardeners selecting perennial plants is to let your mind "drift". Groupings of plants that weave and interlock with other groupings of plants within the same bed are known as "drifts". One cluster of plants begins where another cluster ends and the groups have a flowing effect as they grow to bloom. The shapes that these drifts create should be irregular, weaving through your perennial border and wrapping around other plants. Planting in drifts creates a sense of movement

I always enjoy any seeds I required to start outdoors since they normally thrive with little effort from myself other than the occasional watering and given I live in the rainy Seattle area that does start until mid-June. Even if you have started many of your seeds indoors to extend your growing season some seeds should always start outdoors since they are sensitive to transplant shock. If you have been to a garden center or nursery lately you can get an idea by what types of plants can be transplanted easily. If you are now looking at your seed packets wondering if you should plant these indoors or outdoors here are my suggestions: Plants that can be started indoors: Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumbers, Cukes, Eggplant, Herbs, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Muskmelons, Onions (se

Okay. You've bought your roses and they're all lined up, ready for planting. You've amended your soil and it is just waiting to receive your roses. All you need to do is stick them in the ground, right? Not quite. You don't want to rush this part... planting your roses properly will ensure they get off to a good start. You may have bare root roses, a rose that is already in a pot or a rose that is not established. A non-established rose is a plant that does not have enough root growth to hold the root ball together. If you have either a bare root or a potted rose, the method of planting is very similar. By now you've probably decided where you want to plant your rose. First you want to dig a hole. Be sure to locate your roses in a place where they will get at least six hours of direct sunl

Does your movement have attractive visionary leadership?3. Compassion for lost people: How do you emphasize outreach, compassion ministry and evangelism?4.
