Saxifraga squarrosa Slo.: nasršeni kreč Dat.: Aug. 5. 2013 Lat.: 46.43865 Long.: 13.64407 Code: Bot_739/2013_IMG3883 Habitat: Stony alpine pasture, modestly south inclined mountain slope, growing on large calcareous boulders scattered around, full sun, wind swept terrain, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 1-3 deg C, elevation 1.975 m (6.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices of stony faces and large boulders. Place: Mt. Mangart flats, ~100 m north of Mangart alpine road when it passes Red rock region, Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC Comment: Saxifraga squarrosa is endemic to southeast Alps and one of the most beautiful, high-elevation, late-summer flowering plants in Julian Alps. It is quite a common species on Mangart flats. One can find it almost on every big enough calcareous boulder, which are abundantly laying at the foot of Mt.Mangart's west face. A single small and dense cushion can often have more than hundred relatively to the leaves quite large flowers. Sometimes, like miracle, a cushion apparently grows right from solid rock. Indeed, very small rock crevices suffice to this plant to thrive successfully under harsh high-mountain sun rays and on the most exposed and wind and rain swept places. A very similar close-relative, Saxifraga caesia, also grows in the same region and on similar places. It differs from S. squarrosa mostly in details of very tiny leaves and flower steam hairs. Reliably distinguishing between both species without a good hand magnifier is sometimes quite a challenge. Ref.: (1) M. A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

New Dawn Climbing Rose is a classic favorite that bloomed on the scene in 1930. A free-flowering climbing rose, New Dawn reaches a height of 18 to 20 feet, with a width of 7 to 10 feet at maturity. The blooms repeat throughout the season, from late spring to late fall. Borne in abundant clusters, the pretty pink, fully double blooms are ruffled and softly scented with a light, sweet fragrance. They measure 3 to 4 inches wide, display a pearlescent blush, and make excellent cuts for the vase. Just a single snip makes a big-clustered bouquet for the perfect centerpiece. New Dawn is easy to grow, disease resistant, and a little shade tolerant. This highly versatile rose can be grown on trellises, poles, arches, and pillars, trained along fences or walls, or allowed to fountain on its own.

Upon hearing that my New Perennial pond garden just won a 2020 Honour Award in Landscape Design, the highest such honour from the US-based Perennial Plant Association, I find myself lost for words. I will instead let the garden speak for itself.

Coffee Grounds are a common additive to compost. http://www.childrenshospital.vanderbilt.org/blogs/CHAMPSGardens/wp-content/uploads/Coffee-Grounds-3.jpg What is it? Coffee Grounds are what is left over after making coffee. Coffee beans are ground and then steeped in water to make coffee. Old coffee seeds or ground coffee that has not been steeped can be used as well. What is the primary benefit? Coffee Grounds are a good source of nitrogen. It is not amazing, but with the ready supply that most people in the U.S. have to coffee grounds, it is a good way to recycle/repurpose with a great benefit. Remember, Permaculture Principle Six tells us to Produce No Waste! If we can't find a use for the things that others would call "waste", then maybe we need to rethink our use of that item. Composting Coffee Grounds is a great way to "produce no waste". http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cbu0jiyJiHI/TQ9MOye-y3I/AAAAAAAACjE/3ybgNG5rL3c/coffee%20grinds.JPG How is it used? The primary use of Coffee Grounds is as an additive to compost. If you use a lot of it in your compost, be forewarned. Coffee Grounds are acidic. The way to combat acidifying your compost is by adding lime or limestone to your compost. This is a tricky thing. How acidic is your compost? How much compost do you have? If you have a whole lot of Coffee Grounds (your friend works at Starbucks or Caribou Coffee), and you don't want to worry too much about it, then let your compost age for 1-2 years before you use it. That seems like a long time, but if you have a steady supply, setting up some piles in an out of the way place is fairly easy. The time will go by faster than you know it. Sadly, it always does. Application: Added to the compost and not typically directly to the soil. If you add it to the soil directly, then do so in moderation around acid loving, high nitrogen-utilizing plants such as fruit trees and fruiting shrubs (blueberries come quickly to mind). Composition: NPK Ratio: 2-0.3-0.2 Dried Coffee Grounds have an NPK Ratio of 2-0.3-0.7. Not drastically different, but interesting nonetheless. A GENERAL NOTE ABOUT FERTILIZERS: Always test your soil before adding any fertilizers. We can easily damage our plants and the soil by indiscriminately adding soil amendments.
