#ClimateResilient #Gardening: How to Adapt Your Garden to #ExtremeWeather

ECO gardener, Nov 14, 2024

Excerpt: "Gardening in Extreme Weather

Gardening in extreme weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect plants and maintain a healthy garden:

Choose Weather-Resistant Plants
Opt for #DroughtTolerant, heat-resistant plants in hot climates (like succulents or lavender) and hardy, cold-resistant species in colder climates (like kale or coneflowers).

Use #Mulch to Retain Moisture and Insulate
Applying a thick layer of organic mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture, making it essential in both hot and cold conditions.

Install #ShadeCloth or Row Covers
In intense heat, a shade cloth can protect plants from direct sun, while row covers offer frost protection during cold spells.

Water Smartly
For hot weather, water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and avoid wetting foliage. In winter, water during the day when temperatures are above freezing to help roots absorb moisture before the ground freezes.

Consider #RaisedBeds
Raised beds help with drainage in #WetClimates and can warm up faster in colder weather, giving plants a more stable growing environment.

Wind Protection Strategies
Use windbreaks like shrubs, fencing, or netting to shield plants from damaging winds that can dry out or freeze foliage.

Invest in Hardy #ContainerGardens
For extreme weather, container gardens are versatile—easily moved to sunny spots, shady areas, or even indoors as needed. [I do this with tomatoes and other plants]

Optimize Soil Health
Healthy, well-drained soil holds moisture better in heat and protects roots from frost damage in winter. Regularly add compost to enrich soil.

Use #ColdFrames or #Greenhouses
These structures create a controlled environment, extending the growing season and protecting plants from temperature extremes.

Keep an Eye on Weather Patterns
Staying informed about sudden temperature changes can help you take timely action, like covering plants or adjusting watering schedules.

With these tips, you can create a resilient garden that adapts to extreme weather challenges while keeping your plants thriving."

Just been making Mrs Mottistone a replacement planter for the front garden, to replace the existing one which has succumbed to time and the elements. At 180 x 30 x 60 cm, this will be seriously heavy (~ 150 kg) when filled and has got some heavy duty supports and wheels underneath. Now ready for painting. #Planters #Gardens #ContainerGardens

Small space gardening - go vertical! Turning a drab wall into a cozy botanical vignette.

3/5 Lenten Rose (Hellebore) - winter blooms in pink, maroon, or white, sometimes yellow and black. The foliage is evergreen, tolerates full shade and some have stunning foliage.

Depending on the cultivar, Lenten Roses start blooming in December, while others bloom in February - but the flowers last for weeks and WEEKS in the dead of winter. Pest and disease free.

2/5 Heuchera - an evergreen perennial with scalloped leaves, small bloom stalks in early summer, and an enormous foliage range to choose from: red, caramel or green, many with variegation and contrasting veins. They tolerate part-sun to full shade and can live in container gardens for years. This plant combines beautifully with some of the plants I mention next.

Double pink tulips are having their say this week. These are a few of the survivors from the devastating Christmas Freeze last year that killed so many plants here in Georgia.

This is one of those years when I did a lot of the Lemonade & Grape Garden Theme. Those Woodstock Hyacinths are so dreamy - and fragrant. The bulbs are planted in October with the other plant materials... and then we wait for the spring show.

Planning for an upcoming project: these large, green steel planters will need to be completely emptied before I can refill them. No drainage holes were ever placed in them and you can only imagine what's happened here after a year.... whew! Stinky, standing water and dead plants in sludge. But no worries. I'm already working on replacement options.
