      @manitobamastergardenerassoc 2 місяці тому

      Thank you for your question regarding dividing lilies. If the leaves have shrivelled up and the stems are beginning to dry up, it is fine to dig the bulbs up and divide them. It may be harder to twist the stem out from the bulb when it is not dry so just cut it close to the top of the bulb with a clean knife or shears. Regarding the timing, it always depends on how the weather is since you want enough time for the bulbs to settle into their spot. Usually beginning to mid Oct. in Zone 3 to 4 is good. If you are in a warmer Zone, maybe wait past mid Oct.

      Thank you for watching the video! I have used the powdered sulphur in its dry form being careful not to breathe it or get it on bare skin. It can be mixed as a spray, but it is hard to dissolve and then you would be wetting the roots which is something you want to avoid. There are sulphur granules, but I have not used them and they would be more for amending soil than acting as a fungicide.

    • @manitobamastergardenerassoc
      @manitobamastergardenerassoc 8 місяців тому

      If your plants have started to show signs of new growth, it is best to let them grow and bloom and once the blooms are finished, you could divide them at that time. Unfortunately, that is often when hot weather starts and that can stress the plants. You could move them in April, but you may lose this years blooms and those rhizomes would not develop. Plant about three rhizomes together to have better success if transplanting in April. Thank you for watching and we appreciate questions.

      @manitobamastergardenerassoc Рік тому

      If you have the Red Lily Beetle on your lilies the adult stage can be in the soil anywhere near where your lilies are. Dividing and digging will disturb them and you will get some or most of them. However, you should be vigilant come spring and disturb the soil in and around where you have replanted the lilies and if you have planted in a different spot, check the previous spot. If you see any adult red beetles, capture and squash them before they have a chance to lay eggs. Once your lilies are up several inches, check the undersides of the leaves for any egg clusters and remove those. If you go to the MMGA website, www.mgmanitoba.com click on Resources and look under Pests and Diseases for a thorough description for dealing with this pest.

    I have 2 queries re protecting Hybrid T Roses in zone 3. First, can I use regular straw? Secondly, what if I planted the rose bush such that the T graft is 8 to 10 inches below the surface of the soil and then after the ground freezes, I applied a rose collar and filled it with about 6 to 8 inches of a mixture of soil & straw? I would be interested in our expert thoughts. If this works, I am planning to grow floribunda & polyantha roses the same way. Thanks

  • @vicmurai1033
    @vicmurai1033 Рік тому

    Can Hybrid T roses actually be grown in zone 3? I live in zone 3 in rural Manitoba, having moved from Toronto, Ontario, grow zone 5, where I grew only Hybrid T roses. In Toronto, the T Roses bloomed all summer non stop.I attempted to grow T Roses in Manitoba without success. I now grow only Morden Roses which were developed for the Prairies. Unfortunately, Morden Roses simply do not compare to the Hybrid T Roses for beauty; additionally, they only flower once in the early summer and no further blooms. I've tried using rose collars, mounding them, nothing worked. I finally gave up growing T Roses in Manitoba. Don't waste your money on them. They will not survive the harsh prairies winters.

    • @manitobamastergardenerassoc
      @manitobamastergardenerassoc Рік тому

      Thank you for watching our How-to video! Hybrid tea roses in Manitoba are usually treated as annuals, although many rose growers have had them in their gardens for a number of years and including David Austin roses. But they do require winter covering with flax straw/oak leaves along with an initial mounding of new soil around the base. Starting in early August do not fertilize them anymore and in late August do not remove the spent flowers. This will initiate preparing them for winter preparation. There are many new varieties of roses being developed for our winters, for example the 49th Parallel Collection. Enjoy your roses!

    Why don't you plant them at angles to each other? Planting then all facing the same direction you get one flush and it's over. If you plant them at angles it delays their bloom as they heat up at different times and the bloom is spread out over a longer period of time. Also, why make the little mounds? Why not just plant them straight into the soil?

      Good Citizen, Thank you for your comments regarding the Manitoba Master Gardener Association video "How to transplant Iris - Part 2". About plnating the rhizomes at an angle to get a longer bloom time. I have not tried that and in my research and discussions with other Iris gardeners in my area did not have that method discussed. I found that the clumps would spread out and usually provided several weeks of blooms depending on the type of weather that was experienced. Hot weather usually reduced the bloom period.

Not seasonal flood areas, but true and permanent swamps.

      Regarding Iris growing in wet swamp conditions. Our video is specific to Iris germanica or Bearded Iris which do not like wet conditions and will easily develop root rot if planted in wet conditions. The Iris that you have seen out in the wild growing in swamp areas are most likely the Iris versicolour or Northern Blue Flag Iris which are a native plant. There are also other species that grow in the wild in southern regions. These Iris have a fibrous root system that allows them to grow in these wet conditions. They are beautiful plants, but not readily available for domestic gardens. Iris sibirica or Siberian Iris is readily available and used by many gardeners in wetter locations in their gardens.

    I found goldenrod this year and its amazing! Its scent is beautiful! I have changed the way i do gardening as well, including the way i clean up, so i cut plants off a few inches above ground leaving root in ground, to keep soil loose and it will rot to improve soil. Next year, plant inbetween, No till. Just take a garden edger to get in beside the weed, so you can easily pull it out once you loosen the soil. No dig, no till, so less disturbance to the soil and organisms. I threw a few log piles here and there, as well as a small standing pond, and ive noticed dragon flies this year as well as a few monarchs, so i know i am making headway. I planted sunflowers which will all stay intact over winter. I had aphids last year, but this year the hover flies moved in to help look after those, and i did notice the odd bird co ing in to eat the aphids as well, so we just have to be patient, but its worth the waiting, watching and learning. I grow a vegetable garden, so this year i planted cosmos in the garden, wether its the deep root, or shade that benefited the garden, the garden produce was good, large and really tasty! So i can actually taste the difference as well. You also do t have to weed as much, as there isnt as much bare soil, so added bonus. Im going to experiment with a weed patch in the back and plant legumes, sunflowers and cosmos and see if i can fix that soil abit to make it less weed prone. Happy gardening everyone, and hope you enjoy the pollinator activity in the yard. Oh, last but not least, i have not yet experienced an aggressive bee or wasp this year, which is unusual, but they have so much to eat, they dont have to be.
