Late winter - it's time to prepare the garden for the
coming season. The first chore for us is pruning the roses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our heirloom roses are very vigorous growers, so we need to
match that with vigorous pruning. Since they bloom on old wood, we need to make
sure to leave plenty of the long canes on the climbers to insure plenty of
blooms this year. Modern roses bloom on the wood from this season,
making pruning very different. The plant will begin to fill in once the
weather begins to warm up. <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usually we would have done the pruning in February, between Valentines Day and Presidents Day. But we enjoyed a very wet and cold February this year - pushing our pruning day to the first week in March. I am sure it won't make that much difference to the bloom cycle. The main thing you don't want to do is prune too early. Once you prune a rose it begins to grow, and if we get a hard freeze after pruning you can get some cane dieback, delaying your May/June blooms. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another difference with heirloom roses is the practice of a hard pruning after the plants bloom, in the spring/summer. Generally, we cut back most of the plants at that time, leaving the arbor, the Centifolia roses, and the China Rose until late winter. </div>

As you know, one of our goals for the garden is to produce seeds for sharing with the public, and for planting in next year's garden much as the pioneers would have done.<br />
<br />
We took all our bags of dried seeds, labels and packaging and spent two pleasant hours filling envelopes, and catching up with each other. (The conversation is really the best part!)<br />
<br />
If you are interested in collecting your own seeds take a look at the Clackamas County Master Gardeners 10-Minute University handout - <a href="https://cmastergardeners.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/2014savingseeds.pdf" target="_blank">https://cmastergardeners.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/2014savingseeds.pdf </a> This should give you a good start towards collecting and sharing seeds from your own garden next year!<br />

We arrived in the garden this morning to discover that the irrigation system hasn't been working. Luckily the parks department was there taking care of it and turning the water back on. On the bright side, there wasn't a lot of weeds to pull, and we were able to harvest lots of seeds today. Now we just have to wait and see how the rest of the veggies do over the next month or so.</div>

Today was the Three River's Artist Guild summer art show at the Interpretive Center. We had artists set up all over the grounds and in our little garden. Visitors walked through the gardens taking pictures and asking questions about our little project, and asking advice about their own gardens too. We talked about veggies, fertilizer, pests, roses, herbs, soil .... really about any and all things garden related. If you didn't make it out today we will all be there on Sunday too. </div>

And if you missed it, here are a few photos from the garden today. </div>

It's been a few weeks since our last workday. We arrived to a sunny morning and lots of pretty summer blooms. The work today was a pleasure, gardening in the sunshine and visiting with friends. The veggies are doing well, but today it was the flowers that caught my eye. </div>

Today's garden photos give a peek into the beginning of what we hope is another fantastic growing season. Even though I have been highlighting my posts with mostly flowers, be assured that we have much more than that going on! Today we checked on our potatoes which are beginning to flower, wondered why there is a big gap in the row of corn sprouting, sampled a radish (yum!) and wondered what happened to our pepper plants. It was decided that we will plant that bed with some flowers this year to attract more pollinators to the garden. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some flowers are beginning to bloom, or bud up nicely. The Herb Garden is looking really robust and cheerful with the Feverfew blooming. The Scarlet Runner beans are making their way towards the strings to fill in the teepee, and the Orach is starting to show signs of flowering soon. The roses are on their way out - we have begun the annual pruning of the plants that have completed their bloom cycle. Remember that old garden roses are generally pruned after bloom instead of in the spring. Ours our so vigorous they get pruned in the spring and fall (otherwise they would take over the garden!) </div>

Ladybugs were the star of the show today, and earlier this week with our many garden visitors. They come in the early spring to lay their eggs in the Hop vines. Aphids love the hops, and ladybugs love the aphids! Above is a brand new adult. Below are two of the dozens of Larvae you can find on the leaves. ♥</div>

Orach. This sturdy leafy green is a fave in the garden, both for the color and texture of the leaves and vigorous seed heads it produces. I have some of this in my own garden for the first time this year. </div>

We have several apple trees in the garden along the fence, too. Today Laura spent the morning thinning the fruit to increase the size of the remaining fruit we will harvest. Some of the plants in the garden sustained some damage from a hailstorm that blew through this weekend. You can see the dents in the flesh of the apples, and some of the leaves were pretty shredded. </div>

If you live locally you probably know about the big sale our Master Gardener chapter has each year - the Spring Garden Fair. We had a table at the fair with photos and seeds for sale. Quite a few folks came by to see what we are all about and get some seeds for their garden. If you are in the neighborhood next May check it out! <a href="http://www.springgardenfair.org/">www.springgardenfair.org</a>. </div>

Autumn - like clockwork it arrives, bringing with it the bounty of summer. In our little garden bounty is defined by the many seeds to collect, a bucket full of purple grapes, a large orange squash and hopefully a juicy watermelon to share! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since much of our garden is harvested throughout the year, and the rest is left for seed saving activities, by September there isn't much to do but walk around and admire the flowers, the seedheads and breathe in the fall air. </div>

The summer season is well under way. The gardens are working hard making veggies and blooming in the sunshine. This week we were in the gardens working on a project - we added a border of cedar chips to the top edge of the Kitchen Garden, in an effort to make it easier for the crews to mow around our veggie plot. We put donated burlap down first, then spread about a yard of chips. It was a sunny morning, and we had lots of volunteers, so we were done before you know it! We are caught up on the weeding (for now) and harvesting what we can for donation to area food banks. </div>

Coming in August the 2 Rivers Art Guild will be holding their Festival of the Arts at the center, and I am told that there will be many booths of original artwork on the grounds. We will also be there with an Ask a Master Gardener table to answer any gardening questions. </div>

While we were viewing the herb garden we spotted this little bunny under the Lemon Balm. It's hard to see in this photo, but he was very tiny. Just barely bigger than a mouse! It's clear that he is living in the garden. There are bite marks in the radishes, and some of the herbs are well munched on, too. </div>

And the star of the garden in June, the Rosa Mundi with their unique striping. The hedges are just full of blooms, and spent blooms too. With all the rain they are a bit soggy right now. But it's still worthwhile to stop in and see it all for yourself! </div>

The spicy fragrance drifting on the breeze as you walk along the path. The Rosa Mundi with their stripy blooms have a whiff of cinnamon. If you walk to the back of the garden bury your nose in the prolific old garden Cabbage Roses. The scent can take you back to a much simpler time. But my favorite scented rose in the garden is the lovely Belle Isis. With her button eye and sugar pink petals, she takes a my breath away.</p></div><div align="left"><p dir="ltr">So much to see, touch, smell and hear in the garden in early June. If you have the chance, stop over and take the time to smell those roses while they are still in bloom. <br>

This rose bud is a surprise! It caught my eye as I was walking by a stand of semi-invasive Thunburg Multiflora roses. There are lots of buds peeking through the hedge. I can't wait to see the blooms, which will hopefully help me identify the plant. (my guess is it's our lost Sweebriar rose - stay tuned and I will let you know what I discover)</div>

This is our Old Cardinal rose, all gracefully corralled. The canes are flowing over the support and creating a nice arching effect. I can't wait to see all the buds in full bloom! </div>

I will end this post with the jewels of our spring garden - the columbine. We have multiple color combinations and forms tucked in all over the gardens. We allow these beauties to self-seed for this reason; they looks so sweet among the roses and other plants just when we need them the most. </div>

You can hear just about everyone around here talking/discussing/complaining about the weather we have had this winter & spring. Something like 7/10 days have included some sort of rain since October. Needless to say, it's a bit soggy out there right now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But the plants in our garden seem completely unfazed by it all. They just keep doing what they do best - growing and amazing us with each leaf, bud and bloom! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took the following pictures over the past few weeks. There is nothing like fresh new leaves and the first blooms of the season! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enjoy, and get out in your own garden, rain or shine! You will be glad you did. </div>
