January Garden update
This is the time to start thinking about all the planting that needs to be done once it gets warmer, dividing Bamboo (as usual) as well as trim some of the storm damage we have had in the garden. Seeing that it is only January, there are a few more storms to come, I just hope they will be milder ones that one the ones we have had.

Wrapping my Musa Basjoo for the winter, with either bags full of Leaves or stuffed car tyres

Preparing my Canna Lilies to go into the basement for the winter.
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
It is the same every year, digging up my Cannas, drying them off for about 1 week and then dumping them in a box with wood shavings (the kind you use for pets) and then leave them in the basement. Another way to keep your cannas is through seed propagation ua-cam.com/video/Cjy36cq98wY/v-deo.html

Controlling running bamboo with a Spade & Rhizome Trench

This is an amazing place, while it is still being build, you can see what it will be in a few years. It already offers a lot to do, from chilling at the Lake / Lagoon, the beach bar or the Restaurant.

Taming a bushy bamboo

I am so glad that you liked the video 😂, Once the garden season starts again there will be more Bamboo videos. Let me know how you are getting on with your neighbours bamboo.

And honestly, I know your red banana's tall, but mine is big around and compact. Wait, what? I digress here. The winter vaca is booked and after that, it's indoor planting time. Can't wait.

About the Banana, the one in the Video is the bigger one, the other one is more like yours 😂. have a super time on your Vacation, I cannot wait for all the indoor planting to start. As well as to kick my Colius out of the house I have so many now it is ridicules. Lake Huron looks amazing btw. all the best to you guys. Jochen

    Do you know how to differentiate it from the Heteroclada ? My neighbourg has a "mud" bamboo along the river, it has a hole in the rizhomes so i know it's a "mud" bamboo but i'm still not sure what specie. I'm thinking of Atrovaginata or Heteroclada. It's dark green so i think it's an Heteroclada but i'm not sure, the Atrovaginata seem more like clear green. The first year the culms feel like sand paper when you touch them from bottom to top.

    • @jochen.allardice-grein
      @jochen.allardice-grein 2 місяці тому

      Hi, to your question, It is difficult because both are part of the "Heterocladae" section with in Phyllostachys “family”. An Idea would be to have a look at the Artovaginata. The first year culms have the white “powdery” line on the node. That would be the only way I can think of just now. have a look and let me know.

    Hello J!!!! Sorry not to have been around for a bit. Been crazy busy. I couldn't miss this one though. One of my favorite plants. I've harvested (aka stolen) lots of seeds this fall. All kinds of colors!! The are so easy and so beautiful to grow. I'm gonna put them everywhere next year. For now...I gotta run. Hope you two are well. Take care of each other and enjoy every day! T

      Hi T, all good, I totally get it, I have been so busy as week with spending 2 weeks a month in Istanbul really cuts into any Gardening or other work 🙂, But I am glad I got my Cannas out of the ground because I don't want to lose them again. I haven't stolen and canna seeds so far, but I did bring a few Coleus cuttings back from Spain and they are doing so well, my next obsession. all is good with us and I hope you guys are well too. Jochen 🙂

      @@jochen.allardice-grein Busy time of year for us. We get the cottage closed up and winterized and then have to get everything winterized at the house before the snow hits. We didn't have a lot last year at all but they say we'll make up for it this year. 😮‍💨 We're already planning a sunny getaway this winter. It's all so fricken expensive!! It must be a little crazy having to spend so much time away from home for work. What do you do anyway?? I retired from the automotive business a few years ago and Chris is still working in it. That's how we met many moons ago. 🥰

    I will have to be making a decision on what to do with my cannas pretty soon, last year we left half in the ground which all came back but really late in the year and half we dug up and put into dry compost pots, which froze in the poly and lost all but one! So maybe its time to do what Jochen does. Thanks for the advice!

    • @jochen.allardice-grein

      @mrchuffy6535 I lost all of mine 2 years ago because i moved the pots into the shed, and I was going to take the cannas out but forgot about them and by the time I remembered they all died. About the late growing, it is the same if you put the stored rhizomes straight I to the ground after the last frost, they take ages to get going, this is why I start them off in the house about 4 - 6 weeks before they go out to give them a head start. Pain in the arse to have them all in the house but wilorth when you see them in their pots. Let me know how you are getting on
