Vines - Part 4
I grow several vines on purpose and a few unwelcome ones bestowed by Mother Nature. One species starts out very shrub-like, another twines, some are annuals. Some thrive and bloom in shade and some will grow but not flower. There are also vines in my past and some that I hope will be in my future. My garden would be incomplete without the soft high notes of vines.

Plant Families: Anacardiaceae and Apiaceae
Next up on our quick fly by of plant families are the Cashew (or Sumac) family (Anacardiaceae) and the Carrot (or Parsley) family (Apiaceae or Umbelliferae). The Cashew family is one I try to steer clear of while the Parsley family is one of my favorites.

Plant Families: Bignoniaceae and Boraginaceae
Bright colors, aggressive vines and five o’clock shadows hold sway this week. Reds, oranges, yellows, blues and purples all blossom and bloom, decorating the landscape with festive abandon. Coiled tendrils unwind, grasping onto absolutely everything they fall across. Plants, hairier than my Uncle Paul, wear their flowers like gaudy costume jewelry. Many of these wildflowers, if not well known, are certainly recognizable by sight. Some even turn up in the garden. So what are these, these hirsute plants, these plants that won’t let go, these plants that flash us with bold colors, bugger the trench coat?

Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.

Autumn Crescendo
The music of autumn is played in a different key than that of spring. Although both begin softly and build to a crescendo, spring's song is sweet and high, while autumn's is a more complex ballad, changing key and rhythm as the music builds. Autumn includes the mellow minor keys, totally absent in spring, as well as a touch of melancholy among the brassy highs. It's a subtle season and spring is not. Spring's changes burst upon us; autumn's are wrought more slowly as our plants descend into winter's sleep. Lot's of images, so please be patient while the page loads for you.

Essential Identity
I don't know about you, but I'm a mystery fiction fan. Nothing (except a new plant or seed catalog) is more soul comforting to curl up with, on a dreary winter day, than a good who dunnit. Whether you actually like mystery fiction or not, you embark on solving mysteries as soon as you fall in love with gardening. The biggest continuing mystery in gardening is identity. I've been musing on this recently.

Why Grow Groundcovers?
Too often soil in the garden is degraded and washed away because it has no protection. Plants struggle to grow because moisture evaporated from the soil too quickly.

Early Weeds
Part of gardening is dealing with "weeds". A weed, by definition is "a plant growing where it is not wanted". However, there are certain plants that few want to have around. In my USDA zone 7 Maryland garden, I consider some of these bad guys "early" or cool season weeds. Maybe you have some of these, too.

Vines - Part 2
Vines come in all sorts of types, sizes and vigor. There are annual vines that you plant each year from seed and woody vines, some of whom make a statement all year around. Some vines have Attila The Hun tendencies and will take over the world (or at least your patch of it) if not watched and some require no end of coaxing to keep alive and flourishing. Some vines do very well in shade; some require sun to thrive and some will grow in shade, but not flower well. The variety is almost endless; here are a few more that you may know and grow or that may tempt you.
