In the Garden . . . Starting with a Rough Schematic
Between our Canada Day (July 1st) long weekend, and the "bridge" weekend my readers across the border are making of their Independence Day tomorrow, as well as whatever summer activities are taking the rest of you outside (pardon me if it's so difficult for me, at the moment, to imagine the winter activities of those of you in the Southern Hemisphere) . . . between all those factors, I'm not sure anyone's still popping in here. And there's no denying I've been spending less time myself, wanting to get out in the sunshine while we still have it.
But some of that time in the sunshine includes puttering and planning in the garden of container plants on our condo terrace, and since I can't seem to resist photographing the blooms and the foliage and the light. . . . and since I have to share those with someone. . . .
The top and the bottom photos are of the scarlet runner bean plants that are twining their way up toward the wisteria-covered frame above the doorway from our living area; we look through/past them to the fountain beyond, whose base you see doing a chiaroscuro thing in the early evening sunlight, above.
The photo just below is the "rough schematic" that Lisa asked for, back in this post, the one in which I began working towards an inventory of what we started with in the garden, with the idea of keeping a loose journal of our horticultural efforts here on an urban rooftop terrace.
I know that the lettering is difficult to read, but I'll follow up very soon with a post that "unpacks" what the schematic is illustrating. . . . (but didn't Pater do a good job of sketching out the pot placement? I'm very grateful, because I would probably never have got 'round to this myself -- have never done such a schematic before for other gardens, and I can see that this could be quite useful)
and there will be garden photos in that post. . . Oh yes, there will be photos. . .
I'm curious. Having gardened for decades already without ever making a schematic, and now flirting with the notion of being more organised, I'd love to know how my gardening readers plan, if you do. . . .Is it intuitive? Research-informed--and do you research online, in books, through your friends' gardens, by visiting public gardens? Do you keep a journal of what grows well where and what needs to be moved or shovel-pruned? Do you track blooms from season to season? Do you have a rough schematic or an elaborate professional one to remind you of what you have and what you need? Lots of other questions to ask you later, but for now, the planning aspect intrigues. Oh, and one last question -- have you ever planned out the transition from an established (or partly so) garden to your own, or have you been able to plan from bare ground?
