Mozart's "Magic Flute" Overture This Video Garden Tour of our street-side cottage gardens was "shot" using drive-by videography on a hazy, windy late morning. This video shows the majority of over three hundred different varieties/cultivars of trees, shrubs, flowers, ornamentals, vegetables and herbs that we have planted in our front yard, backyard, alley, street-side, and two rock gardens with water-features. Most of the 2, 000+ flowering annuals are in hundreds of different kinds and sizes of mobile planters/containers such as window boxes, hanging baskets, tubs and pots. We make our own soil-less potting mix using the following recipe: 1 moistened, crumbled-up 2.2 cubic foot bale of sphagnum peat moss; 2 gallons of perlite (or vermiculite); 2 gallons of very fine bark and 2 gallons of compost/humus. When thoroughly mixed together, this 75% peat moss mixture will yield over 27 gallons (or about 6 five-gallon bucketfuls) of pro-grade potting mix -- which we recycle from year to year. When we plant our home-grown seedlings in the various containers, we liberally sprinkle the top surface of the potting "soil" with Osmocote (14-14-14) slow-release plant food/fertilizer. Then on a weekly basis, we fertilize the containers with an aqueous solution (1 tablespoon per gallon) of a 15-30-15 water-soluble fertilizer. On every hot, windy day, we MUST water the hanging baskets and smaller containers. Those's are our primary secrets for a very floriferous paradise or "Garden of Eden." This may seem like a lot of "work" to you, but for us, it's playful fun, and therapeutic exercise. Plus! -- gardening keeps us out of gambling halls, saloons, and doctor's offices!!
