\nWhen I first started this blogging project back in 2006, there
\nwere few bloggers to compete with, but today you readers have a lot of options.  With more than 10,000 gardening blogs, it’s a
\ncompletely different world online, so trying to remain relevant and fresh is even more difficult. As this blog gains more popularity and a broader audience, I don’t want the content to become to repetitive or diluted. I am trying to keep my content a little unique, so there are just some things that I don’t bother to blog about –  I would rather cover something more interesting, say….my adventures with mastering how to germinate Convolvulus species or as I am documenting more recently, how to achieve amazing success with what was once America’s most popular cut flower (in 1910) – Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI\u2019ve had to think a lot lately, about what makes my
\nblog different that the others \u2013 I suppose that one of those differentiating aspects is my history and experience –  having gardening for a lifetime \u2013 or, more accurately, since I was about 9 years old in the same garden that my parents and grandparents gardened in. I never really think of this fact as anything to brag about, but I think the real value here isn’t that specific fact, but rather that I’ve grown everything that I write about, so generally, I’ve experienced both success and failure, and believe me, I rarely give up easily. All plants have different cultural techniques depending on where you live and garden, so although a British gardener may have very strong opinions about growing one sort of plant, the same method may not work in California, or in New England.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MY SWEET PEA TRIALS ARE UNDER WAY!~ THE BAMBOO CANES ARRIVED BY FREIGHT LAST WEEK, AND THE FIRST CROP IS BEING TRANSFERRED FROM THE ‘ROOTRAINERS’ POTS ( WHICH WORK SO WELL) INTO THE GARDEN. THE PLANTS HAVE BEEN PINCHED BACK TO PROMOTE SIDE GROWTH, AND FED WITH A LIQUID FEED TO PROMOTE MORE ROOTS. I USE A 2.10.8 ANALYSIS.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn an effort to stay competitive, yet highly interesting and
\nunique, I\u2019ve decided to take on a more focused venture \u2013 or shall I say formalize a few series of postings, a bit \u2013
\nI am going to try start more specific projects, a sort-of 101 method of instruction for plants and craft for the garden ( like my poppy post), where I can show the plants, progress, successes or failures of a focused series of projects.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI am selecting a half-dozen
\nor so projects which in which I will delve in deeply, to share my research, my trials
\nand tribulations, and most importantly, share my results, and progress, hopefully in multiple posts \u2013 I
\nthink this will be more demonstrable and authentic. Besides offering you a more
\nin-depth review,  these posts should prove to me more informative, and
\ninspirational. I will continue to still post more garden datebook material – seasonal posts, what’s in bloom today, etc. You seem to like those too.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHere are my current 2012 Projects  ( you may have guessed some of these since I hinted about them in an earlier post).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n1. The Growing With Plants Sweet Pea Trials<\/b> \u2013  With 30+
\nvarieties of heirloom and modern English Sweet Peas, I will share my process,
\nprogress, failures and successes in cultivating exhibition sweet peas. Focusing on tried and true traditional cultural practices established by British growers a century ago, I will show how to grow sweet peas on everything from brush and wire, to growing them on cordons and Bush methods ( which yes, my readers have pointed out is not new, but they are for me,) as well as newer methods such as
\nbush training<\/strike>, and integration into annual and perennial borders. (Always share your thoughts please!).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n2. The Great American Annual Border<\/b> \u2013 We all want the perfect cottage
\ngarden, right? But real gardeners know that what is often the perfection in the eye, is far from that in the garden. Most often, the ideal cottage garden only exists in fantasy paintings, calendars, puzzles and
\nperhaps at a couple of the great British estates, but the lost art of growing
\nannuals in a border needs some serious rediscovery. That’s right – I Mr. Garden Snob said ‘annuals’.  We know there are lovely ones, and we know that the best seem to be hard to find today, and we may even know that they look best planted in huge drifts, but who really does that any more? I intend to try it.  A hundred and fifty years
\nago, annuals borders were magnificent, and grand \u2013 so in an effort to
\nrevitalize the lost art or mastering annual flowers \u2013 I am converting a 60 foot perennial border in our
\ngarden over to the greatest annuals in the world. Many, lost or heirloom
\nvarieties, but also using newer strains. Wish me luck!<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n3. The 1805 Tuberose Project<\/b> \u2013 It\u2019s official, I am growing a
\ncollection of potted tuberoses in the methods described in that 1805 gardening
\nbook that I shared with you all last Christmas. From making my own long-toms
\nand firing them, to getting the rootstock to sprout and grow, these challenging
\nplants will hopefully scent the evening parties in September, if I can get all
\nof my pots made in time, and the proper vintage roots ordered.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n4. Chrysanthemum Show<\/b> \u2013 That\u2019s right, I said chrysanthemum not the new name which no one really uses unless they are a botanist.
\nI happen to have a fondness for the old ( and new) exhibition varities of mums,
\nwhich I dabbled in a few years ago. With 40 varieties ordered, I will be
\nsharing with you all how to pot cutting, how to train and care for plants for
\nexhibition, and how I will be staging them in our greenhouse for a private
\nparting in October \u2013 maybe you can come and visit too if I hold a drawing for a
\nticket! Another 19th<\/sup> century treasure needs to be rediscovered, and
\nexhibition mums just may be the plant.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n5. Greenhouse Cucumbers<\/b> \u2013 Yes, you guessed it \u2013 not only
\njust growing seedless, Japanese cucumbers, but I will be sharing my adventured
\nwith training the cucumbers to grow in heart shapes and stars \u2013 since my most
\npopular post has been the Tranined Japanese Cucumber Post. Who know\u2019s how this
\none will turn out, but last years melon experiment worked so well in using the
\nwasted greenhouse space in our hobby greenhouse, that I think I am ready for
\ntaking on cukes.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n6. Pop goes Poppies<\/b> \u2013 This might be wrapped into the Annual
\nBorder test, but seeing that I am growing many annual and biennial poppies this
\nyear, I will be sharing these poppy-posts with you as they succeed or fail,
\nthis project also ties in with my next project, called\u2026.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n7. The California Coastal Garden Project<\/b> \u2013 In my gut, I know
\nthat I have probably chosen the worst year ever for attempting this venture \u2013
\nsince even the UN has announced that we should expect the hottest and driest summer
\never, but since I have already started, I might as well carry this one through \u2013
\nThe California Coastal Garden Project of Massachusetts might be a more
\nappropriate name, yet as strange as this sounds, I am using good judgement as
\nfor the site, and for the reasons why. 
\nAlong the western side of my greenhouse runs a raised stone retaining
\nwall designed to grow and display high elevation alpine plants. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nRather than replant the wall after a few severe winters, I
\nthought that I might use this fast draining uniquely sited location to try
\ngrowing some cool-loving, northern California annuals and perennials if for no
\nother reason, than to see if I can re-create a spread from Annies Annuals!. It\u2019s
\na touch and go project, with lots of sown-in-location annuals the hate any
\ndisturbance, and an unusually hot and then frosty spring, so this may already
\nbe a disaster\u2026.stay tuned.<\/span><\/div>\n
