Testing your soil Testing your soil
Testing your soil ofTesting your soil Were your flowers and vegetables as lush and healthy as you'd hoped this year? If not, consider testing your soil for its nutrient content and pH (whether it's alkaline or acidic) to determine if it needs amending. Some experts recommend checking soil every three to five years, since rainfall and plants deplete it. Fall is the best time to test soil; it's after the growing season, but before the ground freezes. Contact a local soil-testing laboratory for more information about what it tests for (some include soil type, such as clay, muck, sand or the ideal, loam), what the analysis costs, if it includes recommendations in view of the results as well as what you want to grow, and how to take a soil sample.

Fast forward to spring Fast forward to spring
Fast forward to spring of"Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn"; "Canadian Gardener with David Tarrant"; Across the country, green thumbs are twiddling. The fact that each day is actually—though imperceptibly—getting longer comes as cold comfort. For instant relief from this seemingly endless freeze-thaw cycle, check out gardening videos from your local library. Tour gardens of the world with your feet up on the couch; learn new techniques or design an awe-inspiring garden; or just be awed. Library collections can be searched online, ordered and enjoyed at home along with hot cider and popcorn.Below is a selection of videos to start you on your way. So put your green thumb on the remote and feed your dreams.Garden toursGardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn is a wonderful eight-part series, originally broadcast on PBS. Hepburn herself was an enthusiastic gardener, pottering about La Paisible (the peaceful place)—her home near Tolochenaz, Switzerland. Six of these half-hour episodes, entitled Roses and Rose Gardens, Tulips and Spring Bulbs, Formal Gardens, Flower Gardens, Country Gardens, and Public Gardens and Trees, are available separately or in the Collectors Edition; the two remaining episodes are on one 60-minute video called Tropical Gardens and Japanese Gardens.Lushly photographed and well researched, each video takes us to at least four famous public gardens. Formal Gardens, for example, traces the history of pleasure gardens back to the Egyptians and Persians, then sets us on a journey through Spain (the Alhambra), Italy (Villa Gamberaia, Villa Lante and Villa La Pietra), France (Château de Courances and Versailles), the U.S. (Mt. Vernon) and England (Hidcote Manor and Tintinhull House).American rose expert and San Francisco Chronicle columnist Rayford Reddell takes us on an infomative ramble through his gorgeous 3.6-hectare rose ranch in Petaluma, California, in his video Growing Good Roses (56 minutes). Budding rosarian or not, consider this video as winter soul food.For Canadian content, visit Fantasy Garden World in Richmond, British Columbia, with the former B.C. premier in Gardening with Bill Vander Zalm.How-tosWith the University of British Columbia's Botanical Garden as its backdrop, Canadian Gardener with David Tarrant is an excellent four-volume series, compiled from seven years of CBC's television series Canadian Gardener. Each volume runs 60 minutes. Topics covered are container gardening, perennials, roses, and trees, shrubs and climbers.Despite his sprightly enthusiasm for British Columbia's lengthy growing season and plant wealth, host David Tarrant never gloats. He adjusts his advice to suit the rest of Canada and compares notes with correspondents across the country in a segment called Grapevine. In the “Hey, I could do that” department, Tarrant builds a patio pond and a hypertufa trough for alpine planting in volume 1. In each video, the subject matter is broad and well paced; each segment is punctuated with Garden Clippings, a collection of hints specific to the topic.Brian Minter, B.C. columnist, broadcaster and president of the 11-hectare Minter Gardens near Chilliwack, shares his expertise on hanging moss flower baskets in The Hanging Baskets of Victoria and How to Make Them.Two highly approachable series for beginners are Gardening Naturally with Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman and Mark Cullen's Complete Gardener. "The Art and Practice of Gardening"; "Wisely Through the Seasons" Sheer beautyWisley Through the Seasons (a four-part series) documents a year in the life of the Royal Horticultural Society's garden in Surrey, England, established in 1904. A grand garden hosting 600,000 visitors per year, Wisley has the added attraction of its herbarium, international plant trials and seed identification, registration and collection functions. The Members' Advisory Service receives over 4,000 parcels of ravaged foliage annually for identification (live pests included). Each season presents us with a different set of spectacular vistas to behold as well as a new cast of highly trained staff to share their expertise. While each video can stand alone, you might want to start with spring.Botanist and horticulturist David E. Benner's Made in the Shade, with its moss lawns and philosophy of low maintenance, demonstrates the rich possibilities of the shade garden on his Pennsylvania property, which is included among 33 top private gardens in the world in Architectural Digest's book, Gardens.In Creating the Romantic Garden, Ryan Gainey, who is an award-winning garden designer, author of The Well-Placed Weed and host of the PBS series of the same name, takes us on a contemplative stroll through his delightful cottage garden in Atlanta, Georgia.It may be too early to unwind in your garden, but at least you can rewind to the garden of your dreams-again and again. Planning and designWhether your garden is the size of a postage stamp or a football field, The Art and Practice of Gardening (a six-volume series hosted by British garden designer, plantswoman and author Penelope Hobhouse) provides grist for your aesthetic mill. Hobhouse visits with fellow luminaries, including Rosemary Verey (the late garden designer and writer) and rosarian Graham Thomas, and travels to English, Irish and American gardens to demonstrate specific design principles. The six volumes (42 minutes each) are entitled Structural Elements / Visions of Nature; Color in the Garden / Flower Gardens; Country Garden / The Useful Garden; Planting the Bones of a Garden / The Summer Garden; Roses for the Garden / The Smaller Garden; and New Garden Ideas / Nurseries and Plant Collections.The “bones” segment in volume 4 uses the topiary garden at Pierre S. du Pont's Longwood, near Wilmington, Delaware, to show “living architecture”-strong, vertical plantings framing archways, flanking stairways and creating garden rooms. The pyramidal yews and weeping butterfly bush (Buddleja alternifolia) are especially effective. The walled kitchen garden at Forde Abbey (volume 3) features a glorious bounty of vegetables and sweet peas. In addition to Hobhouse's new gravel garden, volume 6 explores the meadow-scape designs of Wolfgang Oehme and Jim van Sweden, landscape architects based in Washington, D.C., whose firm has pioneered the movement toward naturalistic, informal design in American gardening. Famous meadowscapes include Oprah Winfrey's farm in La Porte County, Indiana.- Credit
