How To Convert An Sdhc To Sd

Decor

This morning it froze really hard (almost -4 °), it is not unusual for the season and the gardener providing who is still considering the weather forecast was not caught short, chilly plants of temperate garden were returned on time or left in place with good winter protection.

Submitted frost many plants were covered a new dress , they are more Deep reds and brilliant golds of autumn that are available but under the thin ice covering foliage and inflorescences wilted. The show does not last long, he must hurry to capture the scene before the thaw that has taken place since long time when I write these lines.

Frost transforms parts of the garden that have yet much more attractive this season, all is bare and vegetation that remains is rather sad. The cloudy weather of recent days does not help. Yet there was enough of a good freeze and a thinning morning to brighten any. Proof, if needed, should not be any cut before winter if you wants to enjoy the beauty created by the frost.

Inflorescences panicle hydrangea's past and seem to have been crystallized Sedums:

The foliage of roses that after this to be early fall, that of Helleborus Orient, miscanthus and heather seemed covered with a thin icing or lace :

leaves bear's ear (Stachys byzantina), usually blue-gray, have become all white and really noticed:

In flowering hedge, so dull now, only a wort which still bears all its leaves and fruit, still provides the setting:

Fall is definitely a season of many facets.

Prune perennials in autumn foliage

In mid-November it is time to cut or fold the most summer flowering perennial or fall, just take a quick glance eye in the massive offering a sad spectacle: All flower stems and much of the foliage yellowed or worse, they withered away.

This indicates that the perennials have completed their growing cycle for the current year and become dormant (Term for dormancy). The sap is concentrated in the roots, aerial part dies, leaves the base, it can remain persistent for some species. This distinction is important to operate the cleaning. It's a big job but it is essential to the sustainability of the perennial garden, also all very robust.

today looks like a solid corner that I failed to clean, it is understandable that the transaction size, it also frees space for 'years following the shoots also obeys an aesthetic concern, the vacuum is ultimately preferable:

Depending on the species, so I flap my perennial vegetation more or less severely.

Asters, solidagos, helenium, large yarrow, fennel, sun perennial gardens and chrysanthemums are folded at the strain level, just cut all stems at soil. The leaves, deciduous, does not reappear until the following spring .

I eliminate the foliage of daylilies which often collapses and rots due to moisture being careful not to damage the new shoots which emerge already :

gaur with woody stems are difficult to cut, are cut severely, I do not let that young green shoots.

I do not touch the evergreen and fulgida Rudbeckia nitida deamii, I cut at the stump all stems floral

I save the deciduous anemones of Japan, it is still green. It does grate that later, often in December. That of COQUELOURDE, silver, still beautiful all winter and requires no care:

For sedum, I do nothing until March, I leave stems and flowers in place, they will dry and be very decorative in winter frost or snow

I cut the foliage of herbaceous peonies, leaving only 10 cm of stem, it is often the vector of fungal diseases .

I leave intact the foliage of spring flowering perennials such as peach-leaved bellflower or julienned ladies, is to deprive the elimination of the spring bloom .

For lady's mantle, I am content to remove from time to time during the winter dry leaves, the foliage is more or less persistent depending on the severity of the winter:

There would also be much to say about how I treat the less hardy perennials. I will come back probably.

Precious

Winter is not here yet, although it has been in doubt yesterday as the temperature was not exceed 4 ° and it rained all day. Time to clean the garden, raking leaves and perennial fold (I will return soon), then follow the planting biennials and bulbs that I'm still pretty late in November when the soil is moist.

So yesterday, the time was badly chosen to engage in contemplation, however, between showers I could do a little inventory and see the garden which still has some ornamental value in this period where everything is so stripped and where are empty.

Passed mid-November, the stars are of course the leaves, deciduous or persistent, and I do not pay attention during the summer because my preference is to plants flowering. However, seeing the presence of those beautiful leaves, I got the idea to create a solid consisting only of persistent plant, to associate for example, autumn olive, photinia, charcoal, sage, santolina and conifers.

Trees and Shrubs Deciduous all lost their leaves, except that seem birch covered with gold, like chimonanthe, they will remain beautiful until the end of the month and maybe even a little Beyond:

I find any foliage of rhododendrons, but I really like the foliage of glossy camellia that is already many buttons, or that of daphne odora odoratissimum viburnum that was probably too young, no flowers this summer:

Camelia 11/2010 Daphne Odora, 11/2010 Viburnum odoratissimum, 11/2010

This makes the gardener forget that November is the month that offers the least amount of blooms. Winter jasmine, Bodnant viburnum or Mahonia Charity are not yet fulfilled.

as to indicate that winter waits, some rosebuds trying to hatch, especially on roses Ulrich Brunner:

Aperçu

Quelques fleurs de rudbeckia nitida font de la résistance, ce qui en dit long sur le caractère florifère de cette vivace mais ne désirant plus voir ces pauvres fleurs portées par des tiges entièrement grillées, je les ai sacrifiées:

Overview

One of my Darley heath (Erica Darleyensis), with pink flowers bloom is well while the others, white or red 's flourish only in a month and a half

Decidedly November is not as sad as this, you just know how to look.
