Visiting a garden center? Be strategic, plan for future seasons

ing, as an additional impulse-fueling factor has been at work. “In this pandemic time,” said Chris Beytes, the editor of the greenhouse trade magazine “GrowerTalks” and the companion “Acres Online” newsletter, “there is the worry that if you don’t buy it, you might not get it a week or a year from now. And there are, in some cases, shortages, since growers can only produce so many of something. There is some of the you’dbetter-buy-it-now thinking at work, on top of the usual spring excitement.” Uh-oh. Ready to take a deep breath and adopt at least a semi-strategic approach?
What’s on the list Try another simple assignment: Write down what you look forward to in the garden during each month of the year, whether it’s flowers, foliage or some structural effect.

Do not misunderstand: I am all in on shopping for plants anytime, just not on making buying decisions based on the giddy madness of pure impulse. Instead, consider strategically delayed gratification, which probably means skipping the showiest of-the-moment plants in favor of those that might not be in peak form yet, or even have fully awakened. On the ride home from such a well-tempered shopping expedition, the car won’t be stuffed with color. But in its aftermath, the garden will be — and at less expected times, when it may otherwise be lacking. I admit to pacifying myself with a
flat of violas on the passenger seat (oh, the scent). But as for the springtime perennials and shrubs, I mostly leave them behind. Smart merchandising means the nursery staff will have stocked up heavily on spring plants and staged the showiest stuff up front, where its powers of seduction will be strongest. Combine that marketing savvy with the reality that many customers shop only once a year — now — and it’s no wonder our landscapes tend to be spring-heavy. Showing restraint in that sea of early bloomers is never easy. This spring and last, it has been especially challeng-
a succession of herbaceous treasures beneath it. Much better. Plants that solve such issues — those that can create or enhance key axial views in each season, extending the garden well beyond spring — are the ones that go on my shopping list.

Last April, I renovated my 30-year-old asparagus bed with new bare-root crowns. Rhubarb and strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are often sold this way, as well.

Want to extend your yard? Borrow from your neighbor
I
F YOU’RE FEELING that your garden or yard is too small, you can expand your horizons without buying another square inch of property, without even much work. Just borrow some landscape. “Borrowed landscape” is a technique frequently used in design of Japanese gardens, where it is called shakkei, but it can be employed in any garden style. The idea is to incorporate some distant elements of the surrounding landscape into your landscape, thus creating the feeling of greater space within your garden. You could reap a feeling of infinite space if that distant element is a mountain or ocean that stretches all the way out to the horizon. Or you could just borrow a bit of closer scenery from your neighbor’s yard — an attractive clump of birch or larch trees, or a pergola dripping with wisteria blooms, for example. First look around to see what you’d like to borrow. Ideally, this would have been considered before you planned or planted anything, even before you moved any dirt or stones around in your own garden. Still, it’s usually not difficult to borrow landscape even into an existing garden. No need to borrow a whole scene, either. A view of a lumbering meadow that breaks into a range of mountains might create too expansive a feeling if on view from everywhere in your own garden. Part of the art in gardening is balancing that need for coziness and enclosure, which gives us the word “garden” (from the same root as the words guard, yard, and girth), with a feeling for the infinite, for limitless horizons. A window of some expansive scene — through an opening in a fence or hedge, for example — might make such a view all the more precious. As for your neighbor’s pergola clothed in wisteria: you might not want
is also sometimes effective in bringing attention to a distant view. Although screening out much of what lies beyond, a small opening just begs viewing of the landscape beyond. Another way to borrow landscape is to echo elements in the distant landscape with similar elements within your garden. In your garden, a grouping of rocks might show kinship with a similarly shaped distant mountain. A small but upright tree might form a connection to stately, spired conifers in the distance. A trickle of water — even rounded stones representing a dry stream bed — might form a visual association with a majestic waterway far away. In most cases, borrowing a Why not borrow a nice, framed view of a neighbor’s yard to “extend” your own yard? landscape entails less muscle (LEE REICH PHOTO) than creating a landscape, less to also see the red sports car might need removal of some making a hole in the fence. so the smaller your garden is he always parks nearby. obstruction, such as a pine The cut in the fence in itself because then all the nearby Once you’ve honed down tree in the wrong place or a contributes to the look of elements loom larger in prowhat surrounding scenery you fence that was designed with the garden.

30-year US mortgage rates climb up to 3% By Kathy Orton
The Washington Post
Mortgage rates moved higher this week as worries about inflation and potential moves by the Federal Reserve unsettled investors. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average climbed to 3% with an average 0.6 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. They are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.94% a week ago and 3.24% a year ago. Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages, which means rates for refinances may be higher. The price adjustment for refinance transactions that went into effect in December is adding to the cost. The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount. That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan. The 15-year fixed-rate average rose to 2.29% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.26% a week ago and 2.7% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average was unchanged at 2.59% with an average 0.3 point. It was 3.17% a year ago.

Antique furniture adds unique flair to room
W
HEN DECORATing a room, it’s fun to include something out of the ordinary. Perhaps you can find an unusual lamp or a modern painting, or a piece of furniture in a unique style. Try something new and go to an auction to see what is selling. Neal Auction Co.’s recent auction was selling different styles of antique furniture, including a Campeche chair. It looked a lot like some modern chairs, but it had a single piece of leather curved to make the back and seat on a simple wooden frame. The back was tipped just enough to make it a perfect place to nap. The legs were upside-down capital C’s, one on each side with a center stretcher. It was a perfect conversation piece. The name “Campeche” comes from its use in the city of Campeche, Mexico, where it was popular in the late 18th century. Historians thought the name came from campeche wood, but most were made of mahogany. Looking up the chair’s history takes talent because it is also called a “Spanish chair” or a “butac” (a shortened form of other words, “butaca” or “boutaque,” used for the chair). Some call it the “planter’s chair.” Thomas Jefferson had one of these chairs he called a “Campeachy.” The chairs, similar to earlier X-frame chairs, were popular in Louisiana and shipped to New Orleans. They were used in Philadelphia by the 1830s and in London by about 1845. Some modern artists, including silversmith William Spratling, were creating similar pieces in the 1950s. The chairs are still being made and sold in the U.S. today.

Mattel made “I Love Lucy dolls,” dressed in costumes representing episodes of the show, from 1997 to 2011. Lucy, Ricky and Ethel dolls were made. “I Love Lucy” Kelly dolls, representing Lucy and her friend Ethel, that were smaller were made in 2008 and 2009. The dolls in their original boxes sell for $10 to $50. A few in the box in mint condition go for over $100.
