Prepare your garden

for

spring (METRO CREATIVE ARTS)

G

By Adrian Higgins

Washington Post

ardening is a yearround treat, but the arrival of spring is special because it’s the moment when both the gardener and all the plants in the yard are bursting with excitement.

Cleanup and bed preparation In beds free of permanent plantings, such as the vegetable garden and annual flower beds, the tasks are straightforward. The first job is to remove weeds. Forget the impending dandelions and violets; I’m talking about established winter weeds, whose roots now go deep, with such interlopers as henbit, chickweed, bittercress and ground ivy. You rarely need herbicides for this; the weeds will lift quite easily between your fingers in the rich, moist soil of the veggie patch. They will also surrender to a weeding knife or a sharp, long-handled hoe. Get to them before they go to seed.

Weed seeds will germinate any time the soil is disturbed, so weeding is not an annual event; it is a way of life. By

The process of conditioning transplants for the spring garden is called hardening off. If you don’t do this, plants will probably wilt and die — or at least fail to thrive. sowing desired seeds in a straight row, you can more easily spot the gate-crashing weed seedlings for rapid removal.

All the dead carrots, kale stalks and other lingering detritus of last season should also be removed as you work the soil.

The soil will be compacted by snow and rain, and it will need fluffing up. The easy way to do this is with a threepronged cultivator, though I prefer to turn the bed with a

cut back any remaining dead stalks of last year’s perennials and grasses, again being careful around emerging shoots.

The soil will benefit from a little cultivation and a top dressing of compost or leaf mold, which is then scratched into the soil. These beds also should be mulched.

Frost protection Once trees and shrubs have broken into flower and leaf growth, they are prone to cold damage, because the tissues are soft and tender. It pays to keep an eye on nighttime temperatures into early May. If a frost or near-frost is predicted, you can cover certain plants for protection.

Seedlings of veggies, herbs and annuals should be covered on such nights.

If you don’t have horticultural row fabric, you could use a light sheet. The challenge is ensuring the covering won’t blow off (clothes pins are handy), and don’t use anything that will crush small plants.

Seeding and hardening off We start young plants in two ways: either by seeding directly into the garden or planting small transplants that are a few weeks old. Some seeds can go directly into the ground now, including peas, radishes, carrots, nasturtium and lettuce, but wait until the soil has warmed, until at least early May in the Mid-Atlantic, for sowing (or transplanting) warm-season vegetables and summer annuals.

The next six weeks or so mark not only the time when we launch the growing season, but also the period when plants are at their most vulnerable. Fresh growth is tender and can be damaged by the wild swings in weather in March and April. In the Mid-Atlantic (and many other parts of the country), Mother Nature can give us an 80-degree blast followed by a freeze and a punishing hailstorm.

There isn’t much you can do about hail damage, but there are measures you can take to help the garden survive the weather roller coaster. They also give you a chance to get outside to greet and enjoy the spring.

You will have to get fresh supplies of plants, soil mixes, fertilizers and tools. This might be a concern in the time of coronavirus restrictions, but many garden centers, hardware stores and feed stores operate outdoors for

the most part. And, of course, there’s that bazaar known as the internet.

garden fork, which gets deeper. After scuffing up the soil, add a layer of fresh material to the bed and work it in. You can use your own screened compost or bags of soil amendments. I like to use purchased composted leaf mold and aged manure, which, in my experience, are reliably free of weed seeds. Water the newly prepared bed and wait a few days for the soil to settle before seeding and planting.

In permanent plant beds, the cleanup needs a more delicate touch. When removing weeds, take care not to damage the emerging growth of bulbs and perennials.

Hand-pulling is a good option, or use a small, sharp knife to get into tight spots.

Remove any accumulated winter-blown leaf litter from under bushes and hedges, and

Mulches that are applied too thickly or too often will harm plants and the soil. I prefer fine-textured, organic mulches, such as pine fines. Save wood chips for paths. Avoid mulch volcanoes around trees, which cause harmful root growth and other problems.

If you need acres of mulch every spring, it’s because you don’t have enough ground-covering plants.

It may be impractical to plant every vacant bed in the yard at once, but you could start this spring by tackling an area that is, say, 10 feet by 10 feet. Plug plants take a couple of years to fill in, but they offer a more affordable way to plant en masse.

A good soaking at planting time is in order, and plants should be watered periodically, especially if the weather turns dry, but the roots should not be kept wet.

The principle of handling roots gently applies to perennials and annuals, too.

During the day, place the pots outside in a sheltered area, away from the wind and afternoon sun. Bring them in at night. Water them at least once daily, before they wilt. Do this for a week before planting, longer if cold temperatures are in the forecast.

Cold is not the only problem.

After planting, transplants should be protected from sun and wind, at least for their first 24 hours, with horticultural row covers or shade cloth. If that is not an option, plant on a cloudy or rainy day.

Capillary watering system keeps soil constantly moist

R

EADY. SET. GO. Growing seedlings indoors seems almost like a race.

Of course, it has a staggered start, with onions already growing strongly and tomatoes not yet sown. Watering these seedlings is crucial: Timely watering keeps them chugging along apace; two or three days of neglect might spell death.

A simple way to automatically water seedlings is to rely on the soil to draw water up from below by capillary action. And this is just how some seed propagators that you can buy work. Soil watered by capillary action stays constantly moist rather than swinging between the extremes of having plant roots cry for air and then for water.

Capillary watering itself is nothing new. For years, capillary matting — a thick, water absorbent fabric that does not rot — has been available, mostly to commercial greenhouse growers. The idea is to let one end of the fabric dip down into a water reservoir while the remainder of it rests flat on a horizontal surface. Pots of plants sit on the flat mat. If the pots likewise have flat bottoms and the soil within is right up against the bottom of the pots, then a capillary water connection is established throughout.

in only about a square foot of space — are growing in 1-inch cells. In about a month, I’ll have cucumbers and melons started in 2-inch cells. Obviously, a single capillary watering system is not enough for all the seedlings of most gardeners.

A few other features round out these systems. A clear plastic cover maintains humidity while seeds are germinating, then tucks neatly out of the way under the reservoir. The underside of the “table” looks like a

The whole setup is about the size of a three-ring notebook, or half that, depending on the number and size of the cells.

As plants drink in water, it is replenished by water drawn up from the mat which is, in turn, drawn up from the reservoir.

The capillary watering systems that you can buy are nifty setups that make it very convenient for raising seedlings in your home. A small

Bottle collecting an important pastime

OTTLE COLLECTING has been an important pastime since the end of the 19th century, when the first bottle seekers dug up examples in old privy pits, the town dump or a rocky seacoast area. Most sought after were historic flasks made in New England glassworks.

As flasks got more expensive, collectors searched for other bottles — bitters, inks, mineral water, pickle, snuff, whiskey, wine, food storage and canning jars, and commercial perfume bottles.

The first machine-made bottles were made in 1905. By 1920, most bottles were being made by automatic machines, including modern product bottles like those for Coca-Cola and Avon. Each of these specialties attracted not only collectors but also researchers, writers and clubs.

This very light-blue canning jar with a lid is easy to identify even though it is rare. Like most, it has a name in raised glass that is formed in the mold. It says “Gilberds Improved Jar” around a five-point star. On the bottom are the words “Patd Jan 30, 1883 / Jamestown, N.Y.” It probably was made by the Findley Ohio Bottle Co. (1888-1893) for the Gilberd’s Butter Tub Co. of Jamestown, New York. It sold at a Glass Works auction for $188.

The survey is based on home purchase mortgages, which means rates for refinances may be higher.

water out of the roots.

Seedling generally do not spend enough time in containers to bring on this problem, especially when care is taken not to overfertilize. If necessary, occasional watering from above can wash the salts away through the soil.

Another problem is that of seedling roots growing out through the bottom of their pretty much bottomless cells into the matting. Then plants become difficult to remove from their cells and lose too many roots when they are finally ripped away. I avert this problem by periodically lifting the planting tray up off the mat beginning when the seedlings are large enough for their roots to bind the soil together. Or, if the roots have already grow down into the matting (some kinds of mats keep roots from doing this), I slice them off with a long, thin knife — actually, an old breadknife — right at the bottom of the cell tray.

Perhaps the worst threat to any automated system is neglect. I have almost lost seedlings from forgetting to check the water level, which only needs to be done about weekly, in the reservoir.

Despite these minor shortcomings, capillary watering systems for seedlings are among the few horticultural gizmos that I wholeheartedly recommend. Before I used them, my seedlings tethered me to my house daily throughout April and May as tenaciously as milch cows tether the dairy farmer to the barn.

Wildlife that is perfect for plants

A

GREAT WAY TO add a little do-ityourself “wildlife” to the yard this summer, this trio of do-it-yourself deer planters is perfect for the porch, patio or even indoors.

And they’re guaranteed not to sample the greenery!

Each planter calls for just 14 traceable pieces cut from standard pine or fir lumber (plus wooden balls and buttons for the noses and eyes).

All three sizes are constructed following the same five basic steps, so once the first is done the others are especially easy — so easy the whole family can help.

To build, simply trace the parts onto wood, cut everything out and sand. Next, assemble the parts using glue and nails. To finish, add the eyes, nose and a coat of clear sealer (as pictured), paint or stain. Do-it-yourselfers can build any or all of the three in any combination or quantity.

The smallest deer is 16 inches tall by 14 inches long by 7 inches wide; the medium deer stands 24 inches tall by 22 inches long by 10 inches wide; and the large deer measures 32 inches tall by 30 inches long by 13 inches wide.

The Deer Planter Trio plan, No. 745, is $9.95 and includes step-by-step directions with

photos, full-size traceable patterns, an assembly diagram, a shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project questions. Please include $3.95 per order for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

To build, simply trace the parts onto wood, cut everything out and sand. Next, assemble the parts using glue and nails. To finish, add the eyes, nose and a coat of clear sealer (as pictured), paint or stain.
