best in your garden or yard. • Ground birdbaths are simple basins that rest on the ground and usually are shaped like a wide, round bowl. These low-set birdbaths provide a water source for birds, such as ducks and quail, and also may attract smaller birds alongside them. • Pedestal birdbaths are bowlshaped or square-shaped stone basins set atop a pedestal, raised from the ground. This is the most popular style for gardens and is quite easy to install, as well as easily reached for cleaning. • A fountain birdbath is one that has a fountain-style water feature to keep water moving in the basin, and garden enthusiasts say they find the fountain sound to be soothing, an essential part of the garden environment they enjoy. Choosing Your Materials According to garden specialist David Brill, you can find birdbaths made from a wide variety of natural and aggregate materials. The most common, according to Brill, are concrete, ceramic, copper and brass, both for their strength and their attractive appearance as an enhancement to a garden design. For a more artistic look and perhaps a match to your garden design theme, you'll find birdbaths made from glass or stone or ceramic embedded with shell
or colored-glass mosaics. And for an upscale, dramatic fountain, marble is a common material. Your chosen material should work with weather extremes. Ceramic, for instance, is more delicate than concrete and could be damaged by ice and snow falling from a rooftop. Many gardeners, for this reason, choose lightweight plastic fountains that look like stone material but are light enough to move indoors during harsh winters. The Right Size To select the right size birdbath for your garden's space, Brill suggests that you cut a few circles of different sizes out of cardboard and place them in the spot where you wish to place your birdbath. This gives you an idea of the dimensions of the birdbath that would look most natural in your garden. "It's always best to shop for birdbaths at a garden store," Brill says. "An online photo's printed dimensions will not be as evident as the impression that a birdbath gives in person." Cleaning Your Birdbath Many gardeners prefer pedestal birdbaths, which provide the easiest access for cleaning. Lightweight plastic birdbaths may be tipped to assist in the dumping of old water and rinsing during the cleaning process. The positioning of your birdbath helps to keep it cleaner. Place it in a shady spot to keep it cooler and prevent excess algae growth. Don't place it under a tree that drops leaves or flowers regularly, or those organic materials will rot in the standing water. When it is time to clean your birdbath, wear rubber gloves to protect your skin, especially any cuts you might have on your fingers, from fecal matter and algae, and use an aquarium-style fishnet to scoop out debris. Dump out the stagnant water, and use an organic birdbath-cleaning solution to clean your birdbath as you scrub it on all bowl and rim surfaces with a medium-bristle brush. Then use a garden hose to rinse your birdbath thoroughly, and then refill your birdbath with fresh water. Enact this cleaning process at least twice a week to keep your birdbath water clean and your garden accent attractive to all. ❏ — Creators Syndicate
Tips on being water-wise
You can save water with drought-resistant landscaping ater is one of our most precious W resources, and one of the places we use it most is our lawns. Lawn care makes up anywhere from 30 to 60 percent of water use in a typical American family, according to Greg Seaman, editor of Eartheasy.com. Switching to drought-tolerant lawns can easily save you 50 to 75 percent of the amount of water you would need to grow a lawn. Seaman says that in order to conserve water, many people are moving away from the full, side-to-side grass lawn and instead opting for droughtresistant landscaping, also known as xeriscaping. "The single best method that anyone can use to achieve the benefits of xeriscaping is to plant locally available, native species," Seaman said. "Those plants that have adapted to your area’s climate patterns."
The downside of xeriscaping is that it can be boring because that's what you're used to seeing. "So what a lot of clever gardeners do is plant 80 percent of their shrubs in natives, and then they'll pepper in 20 percent in ornamentals, which gives diversity and visual appeal without consuming so many resources, especially water," Seaman said. According to Seaman, shrub landscapes not only are water-efficient but also save maintenance and increase the value of the property. They're also the cheapest and easiest to grow. Seaman says that when switching to the drought-resistant lawn seed, you have to baby it for the first season, making sure to water it every day for up to three weeks to get germination. And then, for the first two to three weeks after germination, you have to water your lawn once or twice a week to get
the sprout established. The payoff will be a yard that holds up for years to come, but you have to be diligent. The best way to conserve water in any landscape is to water early in the morning — assuming it's not windy, as that would result in about half the water's ending up outside of the sprinkler zone. Also, Seaman adds, you can train your lawn to be more droughtresistant by watering it infrequently, perhaps once a week. "But when you do water, make sure you water it at least an inch, which you can measure by putting an empty tuna fish can in the sprinkler zone. When it fills up, you've got an inch," he says. Janet Nazy, executive director of the Partnership for Water Conservation, says that if you do stick with a basic grass lawn, let it go dormant instead of trying to keep it green all summer. According to Nazy, pollution and
global warming are only adding to our diminishing water supply, and water conservation is for not only us but also the ecosystem. "Plants, animals — we all share the same water," she said. "We have to think of the rivers, the streams, the aquifers and making sure that those are maintained for wildlife. We're trying to save water for future generations." Seaman said that if the sales of water conservation products — including rain barrels and soaker hoses — are any indication, there appears to be a strong interest in water conservation. What it really comes down to, Seaman says, is being mindful. "I believe awareness is 75 percent of the solution," he said. "If you make it a priority, you find ways to save water. 'Are we sprinkling the sidewalk, or the lawn?'" ❏ — Creators Syndicate

When planting around a swimming pool, choose low-maintenance plants that don't leave a lot of debris.
"I think there is a whole group of things to consider all at once," Rugg said. "They include the local zoning and state laws governing pool construction, materials and safety. Then there is budgeting, where the pool would go in the landscape and how the landscape would fit around it, how much time and money would be budgeted for maintenance and how long it would take to build the pool." Rebecca A. O'Neal of a landscape architect firm says a homeowner first should consider who would use the pool and look at the available yard space. Mathew Luebbers, the swimming guide at About.com, emphasizes safety as another top priority before building a pool. Make sure the location would be secure and wouldn't allow access to unsupervised children or animals. The pool should be seen from the main indoor rooms, such as the family room, so parents can make sure the kids are safe. Get advice about pool styles by talking to family and friends, researching on the Internet or visiting pool supply stores. Once you decide that you want a pool, you need to figure out what type. Would you prefer an in-ground or aboveground pool? If you choose an inground pool, will it be vinyl, concrete
or fiberglass? O'Neal recommends concrete/gunite pools for better durability. And don't forget pool accessories, for example, a pool deck and pool cover. According to Rugg, you also may want to consider costs if you plan to add other landscaping features, such as an outdoor kitchen, a fountain, a bar, a fire pit or an outdoor TV. When looking for the perfect spot in your yard, make sure there is access to electricity and water. If these utilities are far from the pool, the installation cost will increase, according to Rugg. Luebbers recommends looking at the current landscaping. Ask yourself, "How would the pool shape appear in that area?" Rugg suggests keeping pools away from large trees. Roots could be harmed during construction, and leaves constantly would fall into the pool. Remember to consider your yard's soil type. According to Rugg, sandy and clay soils may cause more issues for the pool's foundation. Choose low-maintenance plants that leave the least amount of debris. David Beaulieu, the landscaping guide at About.com, recommends broadleaf evergreen plants, such as holly. He says plants offer beauty around a pool. O'Neal says flowers with cool colors — such as white, blue or lavender — are popular for a "cooling effect" that balances with the pool's blue water. With limited space around pools, ornamental grasses are another choice. Avoid planting shrubs and trees too close to the pool. Not only will leaves fall into the water but also shrubs with thorns and sharp leaves can hurt if stepped on. Beaulieu says to avoid putting fruit trees near pools, because they attract bees and other insects. Be prepared to add safety items to your pool's landscaping. Fences and patios enhance the yard's beauty, as well as provide a safer environment. A patio could include a slip-resistant pad and outdoor lighting. Get a sturdy cover to put over the pool. Create a wading/shallow area on one side of the pool for young swimmers. Make it easy to get in and out of the pool. There are even alarms available that alert owners when someone is in the water or on the deck, according to Rugg. ❏ — Creators Syndicate
Rock gardens Create a colorful, peaceful yard garden creates visual interest Amightrock along a garden pathway and also "rescue" a section of your lawn that is a dead zone — an area, perhaps root-bound, devoid of plant growth — or just a boring patch of grass. In less than a week, you can transform this dead zone into a Zen-like rock garden or create the illusion of a riverbed by adding beautiful plants and flowers to your rocky design.
Creating a rock garden gives you a tranquil and beautiful space in your yard.
First, identify the area you wish to designate as a rock garden. Is it a large area? Small? Sunny? Shady? If you'll landscape your rock bed with greenery or flowers, the sun/shade factor is important. Your passion for sun-loving flowers might inspire you to put your rock garden in a bright corner of your yard. Or your appreciation of shadeloving plants — for example, hostas — could inspire you to build your rock garden beneath a shade tree. Next, decide on your rock garden's shape. A rounded-corner kidney shape is one of the most popular designs. Sshaped curving riverbed rock gardens are also at the top of wish lists. If you have a hilly backyard, your rock garden could be a half-circle at ground level, and there could be several stone steps leading up to the next layer. To help you establish your rock garden's size and shape, use a can of light-colored spray paint to mark your outline on grass or dirt. You then can change it to suit your preferences or the dimensions of your yard, and can measure your actual space to determine the true
amount of soil and rocks you'll need to fill your garden space. Clear your garden space of any growth or debris using a rake or leaf blower. Use a hoe to break up and remove any additional growth or stones. Then use a metal edger to dig an established border. Next, take a look at the existing vegetation, the colors of trees, the color of your home, existing stones and boulders surrounding your home. The most balanced rock garden designs are inspired by their surroundings, blending into them, not fighting them through a contrasting color or a mismatched style. Scenery that says "adobe" calls for brown and beige rocks, whereas scenery that says "wine country" calls for burgundy and tan rocks. After that, it's time to pick out boulders as the focal points of your garden. Then choose round or eggshaped smooth river stones in solid, striated or speckled colors. Select gravel as ground cover. You will encounter the following main types of landscaping rocks: river rocks, which are round or oval and smooth; pea gravel, small round stones commonly used on pathways, walkways and driveways, available in tan, brown, gray, black and white; lava rock, a porous rock in brown, red or black, often placed at the bases of plants; and rose quartz, a lighter-colored rock in white to pale pink that gives a sparkling effect to your rock garden's bed. You also will see large white dolomite boulders, known for keeping their white color even through weathering, and red granite boulders, which come in a range of reddish and rust colors. A landscape specialist is often your best adviser on stone selections, assessing your property's slope and drainage patterns to best plan your stone sizes, weights and placements. Discuss the smartest preparation of the soil below your rock garden. From there, you'll bring in your rocks and boulders, setting the lightest stones first and then the larger ones. Next comes your greenery, flowering plants, succulents, bushes and other plants, giving your rock garden a living element and color. ❏ — Creators Syndicate

Creating a kitchen herb garden
Add some flavor to your home and cooking, and save money
I
n today's economy, with frugal households looking for ways to save money on groceries and many people's eco-consciousness and wanting to eat organic foods, lots of Americans are planning and planting gardens to grow their own vegetables, fruits and herbs. So has arisen the new trend of planting a kitchen garden. The tradition of the kitchen garden started long ago, arriving with immigrants who brought the concept to this country. In European countries,
Dwarf plants: Some big ideas for small spaces he air is warmer; the sun is shining Tspring longer each day. No doubt about it, is here. Time to get out and get dirty! So what if you don't have a manor's grounds to maintain? Even a small piece of land — or a window box or balcony — can be turned into a beautiful and beneficial garden. If space is a concern, consider planting a dwarf specimen of a plant you like. There are several different ways a plant can be "dwarfed." Some dwarf plants have been bred to stay small even when fully grown, such as dwarf snapdragons, which stay between 8 and 12 inches, compared with a regular snapdragon's 2 to 3 feet. Then there are plants that are kept small via pruning and restricted root growth. The dwarf snapdragon and bonsai are just two examples of hundreds of different types of dwarf plants. You can find a dwarfed version of almost any type of tree or shrub. Some of the more popular species include certain conifers, such as the white pine and the weeping Norway spruce, because they are so low-maintenance. But just because a tree has been "dwarfed" doesn't mean it will be tiny. A coast redwood can reach a height of more than 300 feet. The dwarf version grows to be only 3 feet high, according to HGTV. However, it can be 15 feet wide, so make sure you have enough space to accommodate it. Before you decide what you want to plant, you have to know what would thrive. Observe the area in which you want to plant. If it's outside, what are the temperature extremes it would have to endure? How much direct sunlight would it get? What other elements would your plant be exposed to (e.g., an exhaust vent from the laundry)? How much water would the plant need? Those are questions you need to answer before you dig.
Marjoram is a popular herb to have in a kitchen herb garden.
virtually all households had a garden plot filled with vegetables and herbs, and in Victorian England, kitchen gardens often covered acres of land and were tended by dozens of people. Today the kitchen garden conforms to a household's available space. It may be a 6-square-foot garden planted in a sunny backyard. Or it may be a raised garden bed with railroad ties as its borders, designed and planted by children as a family project. Or it may be a simple 2-foot planter set on a sunny ledge above the kitchen sink. Using organic soil and plant nutrients, you easily can plant your own kitchen garden, filling it with the herbs you use in your own favorite recipes. Adventurous cooks might plant exotic spices, such as Russian oregano, globe basil, lemon thyme or Italian marjoram, which is found in most Italian home gardens. According to Amy Jeanroy, who is About.com's guide to herb gardens, the top herbs to include in today's kitchen garden are: • Chives. They are a versatile herb
that could add scent to a roasting chicken or be snipped into tiny pieces

Generally, dwarf trees are hardier and can survive under harsher conditions than regular counterparts, but certain ones still need adequate sunlight. Certain types do better in pots, whereas others thrive after being planted in the ground. With so many options, make sure you get one that is appropriate for the area you're planting in and can survive the conditions it will be exposed to. Dwarf trees are ideal for people who don't have a lot of time to garden, as they (especially conifers) suffer from few diseases and parasites. If you're looking for something more colorful than dwarf trees, there are plenty of dwarf flowers out there. Want to see a bunch of cheerful sunflowers but don't want them towering above you? Not a problem. The dwarf variety only grows to be 12 to 18 inches high. As with the trees, there are dwarf varieties of almost every type of flower. Dwarf flowers are an excellent choice for containers and window boxes. Make sure your container has drainage holes so that the roots of your plant don't get flooded and rot. Use a good mix of soil, and then start planting. Because it's such a small space, consider the aesthetics of the end result. Get a lot of variety and texture to make something that is visually stunning and has depth. There are even dwarf fruit trees, which can be beautiful ornamental houseplants. The dwarf pomegranate tree grows to be about 2 feet high and has vivid orange and red trumpetshaped flowers. The fruit is coral red and edible. Be sure to check whether the fruit of a dwarf tree is edible. Dwarf pomegranate trees are also able to withstand bonsai training and are highly prized by florists in the making of Christmas wreaths, but they can’t survive temperatures lower than 40 F. The benefits of gardening are many: stress relief, activity, the satisfaction of watching something grow, etc. Having a garden space is also an excellent way to teach kids responsibility. Don't let a perceived lack of space keep you from reaping the benefits. Find some space; find an appropriate plant; and dig in. ❏ — Creators Syndicate to top a baked potato. Chives grow quickly and brown quickly, so Jeanroy
suggests a regular maintenance practice of snipping back chive growth to keep the plants standing straight and tall. • Thyme. Thyme is used in both cooking and in the brewing of teas, so this tasty herb is a top choice for a kitchen herb garden. • Tarragon. "French tarragon," Jeanroy says, "lends itself well to any dairy or egg dishes." Tarragon also is used as a topper for many breakfast dishes, including omelets and scrambled eggs. • Marjoram. Jeanroy favors French marjoram, a versatile herb that provides the flavor of oregano without the bitterness. • Sage. Sage often is used in poultry dishes and in savory beef dishes, including stews. It's another of the herbs that some people brew as a tea, because it's believed to be an effective treatment for colds and sore throats. Parsley is considered a top choice by gardening enthusiasts. Both the flat-leaf and curly edged varieties are used as flavor enhancers in sauces and lasagnas, as well as in many slow cooker recipes. Oregano and basil are favorite herbs for those who consider Italian food to be their favorite cuisine, and cilantro makes the list for those who make guacamole or other Mexican foods, such as fajitas and burritos. By virtue of its growing in your garden or planter and being fresh, an herb bunch's flavor will be at its peak, adding such punch to a recipe that it eliminates the need for an unhealthy amount of salt to be added. For example, heart-healthy tomatoes are delicious snacks for your family in the form of salsa or tomato salad that has been spiced with your homegrown basil. The benefits of a kitchen herb garden are many, from health to budget, but perhaps the greatest perk of a kitchen garden is the almost meditative bliss that occurs when you're tending your garden, communing with the earth, weeding your garden beds, putting loving care into a natural process that rewards you with taste and many compliments on your fine home cooking. ❏ — Creators Syndicate
