Myth Busters
Myth Buster One:
By adding an acid fertilizer or lowering the pH of the soil to my hydrangea plant, it will have blue flowers. Well, yes and no. You need to know which hydrangea species you have. Hydrangea macrophylla is one species that this will work for. Others such as Hydrangea grandiflora, or Hydrangea quercifolia will not. So, when purchasing an hydrangea, this is just another reason to know it's botanical latin name!
Myth Buster Two:
If a plant is wilted, it needs water. Most of the time yes but if it is correctly planted in the right place and has been well established and well taken care of, wilting shouldn't occur. If the plant was just installed it could be lack of water or just the opposite, lack of good drainage (too much water and no air to the roots). Even watering in the morning at the base is best, making sure to saturate the whole root ball. Extensive wilting will stress the plant to the point of no return. Always know your soil type and the plant's specific needs. Why did your plant die....chances are lack of water, only 3% of plants die from other factors.

TWIG News - March 2013
May Magic!
I love the month of May! I go outside each evening and check out what perennials are coming up, what trees and shrubs have leafed out and what is already blooming. Pruning time is over, but if I could prune all year round I would. I find it very gratifying, with no bugs and cool weather. Next phase is spring clean ups, mulching, edging, plantings for existing clients.
Looking for a CSA? Terra Organics in Henniker! Denise and Monica Rico can provide you with fresh organic produce all season long. Check them out on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/
Unfortunately, the Emerald Ash Borer has invaded NH. I will be attending an informational
meeting on May 2nd and keep you updated on the home page of TWIG's website.
This newsletter will be a short one, but I wanted to thank everyone who wrote testimonials for TWIG. I picked four and each will receive a nice container garden for their stoop!
My new title is going to be ‘landscape mediator and negotiator’. This season I have had three calls for consults for husbands and wives who don’t seem to be on the same page for what they want their yards and gardens to look like. I am now offering gardening counseling for couples!
June 1st - TWIG is offering a free, hands on workshop for installing a sustainable organic landscape in Loudon. This workshop will teach how to come up with a design, use sheet mulching for an installation method, and proper installation of trees and shrubs. This is phase one of the installation. If you would like to attend, email pakovecses@twigthewayitgrows.
So, enjoy May….ask for that TWIG Gift Certificate for Mother's Day! Happy Gardening.
