Plant care comes in many forms. For some of us it’s enough to keep a few potted plants hanging on for dear life on a windowsill, while others indulge in the joy of pushing lawnmower around every few weeks, or maybe even keeping a garden. But John Brooker of Norfolk had a horticultural vision unlike the rest of us. For the past 13 years he’s hacked and trimmed and molded the 150ft-long (45.7m) hedge outside his Frizzleton Farm property into a massive dragon complete with flowing tail and wings. More

Annual. Perennial zones 7-11. Full sun preferred. Most economic way of growing dahlias is to start them from seed! Excellent cut flower over a long bloom time. If timing and your region allows they can bloom from July through to falls first frost. This mix will produce a vibrant array of single petaled blooms from 3"-4" atop rich dark bronze almost black foliage. Color palette includes tones in dark reds, oranges, deep pinks and apricot. Growing: starting the seed indoors (recommended) up to 4-6 weeks before your regions last frost date. Cover seed with growing medium and keep moist until germination approximately 3-5 days under optimal conditions. Requires soil temperatures of 65°-70°. Do not start too early as root bound plants will have trouble during transition. Root disturbance can impact plant health. Harden off plants before transplanting outdoors. Direct seeding can be done once all danger of frost has passed and soil temps have warmed to at least 65°. If this method is chosen you may get later blooms than if started indoors/transplanted. From seed to maturity is around 90 days. Plants will produce tubers which can be dug and saved to plant out again the following spring. In fall once plants have started to die back but before any major frost cut plants stems back to about 2" above soil line. Gently dig up tubers and remove as much soil as possible. Before final winter storage let them dry out up to 4 days in a warm location without direct sunlight and sufficient airflow. There are a few different storage methods.

Fuchsia likes humidity, so using a pebble tray under the plant will help to maintain a cloud of humidity around the plant. Indoors in the winter the air is usually very dry because of the heating system in your home, a pebble tray will really help the plants. A pebble tray is just a shallow dish full of pebbles and water that the plant sits on (not in the water). High light is good, essential for good growth over the winter, but avoid a hot dry window where the plant cooks during the winter. In general the brighter the better for most windows just check to make sure it is not burning the plant. Keep an eye out for spider mites, they are going to be your biggest problem. You can see them forming webs between the leaves and the leaves themselves will get a silvery look to them as the infestation gets worse. You can prevent them with frequent washing of the plant (put the plant in the shower under a gentle mist about every third watering), misting the plant will also help, but you may need to resort to some kind of organic insecticide to keep the worst infestations under control. Over the winter keep removing any stems that start to die and remove all those berries once they begin to wither as they are actually stealing nutrients from the plant, but you can leave them on for awhile if you like them. On watering and fertilizing: Generally fuchsia likes to be moist at all times but not soggy, so watch to make sure the plant does not dry out too much. Fertilizing every 6-8 weeks with half strength fertilizer should be fine to keep the plant healthy. Your local state extension service will likely have a lot of good information on over-wintering houseplants as well, so check their website to see if they can answer questions that are local to your garden!

Yup, it's a romper. A wool one. Oh, and it's strapless! This is what fall 2013 looks like through the eyes of J.W. Anderson. James Long's knits were tame by comparison, but still--is this Phyllis Diller reincarnated? With leather sleeves!? Well isn't this just the perfect thing for him to wear while rooting for RG-III next season! Shaun Samson's burgundy "jersey" shows Redskins pride, while the furry earmuffs will keep him warm during tailgaiting. Call me crazy, but if it's chilly enough for a snood, a hat, and gigantor mittens, you might want to cover your neck, no? The designers behind Sibling didn't think so. "There's something on my face? Where? I can't see a thing with this gargantuan driftwood mask covering my eyes!" This is the future of menswear, if newcomer Craig Green has his way. Move over, David Gandy! It takes a more, um, mature man to pull off Agi & Sam's country-inspired basics.
