Sweet reflections of last summer: Highlights of the season

By Anne Marie Van Nest, Civic Garden Centre horticulturist

First the weather:

Always a good kick-off topic, the weather wasexceptionalforitsstereotypicalcharacteristics during the summer of 95. Bright blue skies were filled with white powder puff clouds, accompanied by le soleil s hot shine. Thesewerethetypeofsummerdays thatcausecicadas tobuzz from morning to night.

An event of delight only to gardeners wasthefrequencyandamountofprecipitation. Well-timedsummerrains(evenbetter with lightning) are more welcome than a load of well-rotted manure. Our summer hadanadequatesupplyof warmtorrential downpours ideal for creating a jungle out of the garden. The summer downpours were the type guaranteed to take you back tochildhooddaysofdancing and skipping throughthenewlyformedmini-riversrunning down the streets immediately followed by a race to be the first to spot the emerging rainbow.

Then the plants:

One of the stars this summer is no surprise to anyone who has grown this new arrival. It is the succulent hanging basket plant, Scaevola BlueWonder . Thisplantis amazing because you have to go to great lengths to stop it from doing exceptionally well. Give it full sun and, now and again, a little water and it blooms all summer.

Other highlights this year were the profusion of cleome, canna, lavatera, malva andnicotianathatexcelledduringthebright sunny weather. Dare it be mentioned that petuniasalsoperformedwellthissummer.

Annuals weren t the only plants that attracted attention: the carpets of naturalized wildflowers (some might call them

weeds) that have appeared in unmowed areas along roadways have been picturesque. Inparticulartheunplannedcombinations of Queen Anne s lace, chicory, bird s-foot trefoil, goldenrod and clover were wonderful. Weed police beware, two of the Weed Control Act s noxious weeds, chicory and wild carrot (Queen Anne s lace), are almostasprolific as dandelions.

Also the insects:

The relatively mild winter caused an influx of insects during the summer months. To start the season, aphids of all colours, shapes and sizes congregated on tender new stems and leaves. Making appearances were the green peach aphid, wooly aphid, pink rose aphid and black ivyaphid. Thehoneydewsecretionsfrom themillionsofaphidsattackingplantsthis summercouldbearenewablecommercial product ifsomeone could find a use for it. Withtheproliferationofaphidsandthe reluctancetouseharshchemicals,gardenershavetriggeredanacceptanceofbeneficial insects to attract bad bugs.

Spider mites proved to be a challenge during the hot dry days of late summer. Largecaterpillars alsomadeappearances. The largest one was the caterpillar of the cecropiamoth. Itmeasuredinat12cmand hadorangeladybug-likeprotrusionsalong its side. Second largest at 10 cm were the Trellis, October 1995

tomatoandtobaccohornwormsthatfeasted on tomatoes and relatives. Much more colourful and not as voracious were the swallowtail caterpillars. They are green andblack striped with white dots and had anappetitefordill,parsleyandcarrottops.

Gardening the community way:

An exciting spotlight was focused on community-basedgardeningthissummer.

First, Lorraine Johnson and Barbara Muirhead published their report on Metro Toronto sCommunityGardens. Secondly, Kate Middleton organized an open house at the Leslie Street Allotment Garden, Toronto s largest, in late August. Lorraine and Barbara s report focused on 41 community gardens and the nearly 2,000 people of all ages who are gardening in them, why they garden, where the gardens were located, how they are managed and how long have they been in operation.

Some surprising information was summarized in the report: 43% of the gardens are very young (1 to 5 years) suggesting that community gardening is a new passion. Half the gardeners surveyed stated thattheir gardens were organic; 61% ofthe sites had some composting facility. To fill thewaitinglistforallotmentgardens,their numbers would have to increase by 20% (nearly400 new plots). The most common need of community gardeners was not equipment or resources but better soil or compost.

Gardening on the Internet:

Cyberspace seems anunlikely place for gardeners to congregate, but more people aregoingon-lineandcanbefoundhanging out on theNet. Canadian Gardeningmagazine offered a list of discussion groups, databases, information sheets and worldwide web sites. Visit the Virtual Garden from Time Life, the GardenNet with more than400catalogues,TheSpider sWebwith a hot list ofvirtual garden tours, The Mis-

Course comments

By Ada Brzeski, course co-ordinator

Most of us are visual learners. We learn best by seeing a demonstration of how something is done. A perfect example of this is trying to put together a piece of furnitureorelectronic equipmentwith the writteninstructionsprovidedbythemanufacturer. I can t think of anything more frustrating.

Ontheotherhand,whensomeoneshows us how, thejob becomes much easier. Not only do we retain more when we see and hear,butwegaingreatsatisfactiontohave completed the project.

Plants each month: the year in review

By Anna Leggatt

Thistime ofyear, you should gobackover your records and consider which plants worked well for you and which did not. If you have already done this, skim over the rest of the article! If you do not keep records,trytoremember.Resolvenextyear tokeepa gardenjournal. Thereareseveral bookswithhintsthatcouldhelp. (Mynote taking is lamentably intermittent!)

January:

The early form of the Christmas rose (Helleborus niger var. Primavera) still bloomed underthesnow. Frostgottheold flowersbut newbuds seemed very hardy. WehadflowersonourtableforChristmas! I must divide cautiously and increase my stock. Ineedmorecolourinthelatefalland early winter.

February:

Snow drops are wonderful. They start blooming for me at the end of February rightthroughtillApril. Imustdividethem next year after flowering as I only have a few drifts. The witch hazel, Hamamelis Arnold s Promise starts producing gold threads. I wonder if I've got the correct background; it would be better nearer the house so we could enjoy it more.

March:

I need more flowers in March. Cornus mas has tiny flowers but looks yellow as there are so many. It does well in Edwards Gardens. I must get one. The ericas (winter heaths) are doing well they seem to tolerate slightly alkaline soil. Several people stopped and admired the best one. I must get more.

April:

Crocus chrysanthus in the different forms didnotdoaswell. Imustgetmore Cream Beauty and BluePearl andtrytheotherC. tommassinianus cultivars. Do I get more daffodils? I hate their foliage in July, but they and English primroses remind me of the springs of my childhood. I must mark spots with a yellow stake so I can remember where to find gaps that need filling.

May:

The fritillarias were wonderful, especially the variegated crown imperial. I must get all thenew ones I can afford. Tulipa Apricot Beauty and Angelique did verywell, providing good patches of colour. The rock garden and the rhododendrons are reallylookingwell. Theredbuds,both red and white, flowered spectacularly, but the
