Leonardslee Gardens, West Sussex, UK | Multi-colored flowering azaleas under tree near lake (3 of 19)
Image by ukgardenphotos Leonardslee Gardens: Landscape Garden and lake views For a few weeks in May of each year, Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex, UK, erupt into a spectacular display of the most amazing color combinations of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The green, wooded valley gardens then turn into a place of vibrant colors and breathtaking beauty. Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its awesome colors and tranquility as being like heaven on earth. This photograph includes a wide spectrum of stunning colors from beautiful azaleas in full bloom in May. For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the picture postcard qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman. Details: Leonardslee Gardens is a truly outstanding English landscape garden having a Grade 1 Historic Garden status (English Heritage Register). It covers about 240 acres (97 Hectares) in a wooded valley, contains seven lakes and is extensively planted with azaleas, ancient rhododendrons (some well over 100 years old), acers and camellias all with a delightful under planting of bluebells in spring. The great Victorian plant collector, Sir Edmund Loder (who gave his name to the large flowered and scented Loderi Rhododendron Hybrids) purchased the estate in 1889 and planted large numbers of Rhododendrons there. Sir Giles Loder later planted an extensive collection of camellias at Leonardslee. The estate remained in the hands of five generations of the Loder family until 2010 when it was sold to an international
businessman. However, the Loder Rhododendron nursery was not sold and is still in business. Location: Leonardslee Gardens, Lower Beeding, Horsham, West Sussex, England, RH13 6PP, UK. UK Map references: OSGB36 Grid ref:: TQ220259: Map tile ref: TQ22NW40 Links: A more detailed history of Leonardslee Gardens is available on Wikipedia. Leonardslee nursery is still run by Chris Loder and his website contains useful information on Rhododendron Loderi, its varieties and hybrids. 2011 ukgardenphotos Question by the truht: did the garden of eden have landscaping? who put the f***** snake in there? Best answer: Answer by Cat Since landscaping means to improve the appearance of an area by people manipulating it, I would suggest that 1) before Adam and Eve arrived, by definition no people have manipulated it, and 2) since its appearance probably didnt NEED improving the answer would be no.

Question by mcg: Is there any way to neutralize the effect of black walnuts on surrounding garden plants? One of our neighbors has a black walnut tree in his yard. the nuts fall into our garden the roots are likely traveling under it too. It seems that no matter how much I adjust the soil with compost and rotted manure nothing much wants to grow there. It is unfortunate as that is the best place in our yard for a garden. I think I may have to lay down a plastic sheet, build up a raised bed on top of it, and put a netting net overhead to block the falling nuts and roots of that black walnut tree. Any other suggestions? Best answer: Answer by nighthawk Find another spot for your garden because nothing will grow near a black walnut tree, or at least, not do well. I have a tree in my yard and anything within a radius of 30-40 feet is stunted by exposure. I cant wait to get rid of it. Unfortunately, we like the shade it provides and the trees we planted near it havent matured yet. Its days are numbered. Would your neighbor consider replacing it if you offered to buy him another tree? Just a thought. Good luck. Give your answer to this question below!

Question by nalittlechevy98: Fish varieties that can be put in a water garden? Someone out there has got to know and have more experience with this than I do. Ive looked all over the net and keep coming up with the same answer. Yeah, I know, Koi. Were kind of bored with the same old look though. Wed like to know what fish we can add to our fish/garden pond. Fish that can live outdoors and with Koi. Fish with color. Not plane old pond fish. Something with yellow would be great. Please Help! Best answer: Answer by stillnocouch Goldfish and Orfe are excelent .. hearty and can take the cold nights. DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON GOLDEN ORFE I think youll like them. The following is shamelessly cut-n-pasted (but its rather to the point and informative): The humble Goldfish, bred by Chinese and Japanese fish-keepers from a dull brown wild species, is the most common fish kept in garden ponds. The Goldfish family now has more than 100 varieties, including the Common Goldfish, the Comet with its long tail, the multi-coloured Shubunkins, the oval bodied Fantails and the Veiltails with their flowing fins. Other species to look out for include the Oranda and the Lionhead. Not all these are hardy enough to survive harsh winter conditions, the best survivors are the Common Goldfish, the Comet and the London Shubunkin. Other species you could consider include Tench and Golden Orfe. The former is a useful bottom feeder, scavenging food wasted by the other fish and so helping to keep the pond clean*. The Golden Orfe with its gold and black markings, is by contrast, an active surface feeder and an excellent display fish. However, it grows quite large so is not suitable for small ponds. I hope this helps ! Give your answer to this question below!

Question by : Any advice for building a garden using only large pots, planters? Should I put gravel in the bottom and then dirt. these pots will be close to 24 across/wide. Best answer: Answer by dubious You could use either gravel or just clay pot shards.break up a couple of clay pots and lay a few pieces in the bottom of each to prevent the dirt from running out when the water drains. I have grown everything from herbs, tomatoes and peppers, to flowers in my pots! Works great!! Just remember, if you are doing anything viny like a tomato, you need to put
something in the pot for it to climb, like a stake of some sort, or they will fall over the sides. Good luck! Hope this helps. What do you think? Answer below!

Weve got a whole range of plants including spring onions, daffodils, hyacinths, Sweet Woodruff, Clematis, Winter Jasmine and others I cants remember. Really enjoying it!! Question by karkee07: Best way to plant an herb garden with limited space.? My roommate and I would like to start an herb garden and plant some other flowers around our property. We live in a rental duplex and there isnt much room to plant. Any tips or good sites for planting in smaller spaces. Can we plant four or five diffrent herbs in a big pot? How can I keep everthing as organic as possible? thanks Best answer: Answer by elfin420 use the long window planter boxes, they work well for planting 2 or 3 different types of herbs in each one, you can also use larger pots for plating such tings as tomatoes, peppers, and peas, oh yeah you can plant lettuce in those long planter boxes too, but they will need lots of TLC, feed them often, lettuce needs lots of nutrients to grow What do you think?

Any secret fishing ponds pool water or lakes with bass in them. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Best answer: Answer by Artie Dude, all the water impoundments have bass in them its just that the techniques you might have used in the past that were unproductive just dont work. Do you have any idea how many books have been written about how to catch bass? How many have you read? start right here. these few tips I am taking the time to assist you in this quest to catch them. The rest will be up to you. Type bass fishing techniques, Bass fishing secrets and or best bass baits in the little white window about four inches above this answer. yep! thats the one. Right there in the green box next too and to the right of search for
questions, then click on the button search. cake huh? read them all, write down what you want to remember and ignore what you dont. Start your bass fishing quest for knowledge right here on answers. I have caught over a thousand largemouth bass in little dinky city park lakes all over L A and Orange Counties and I am not counting the multiple thousands caught in the state and county park lakes either. they (bass) are in all waters, they are just better at eating, than you are at feeding them. becoming an angler that can walk up and catch in every type of conditions comes from research, trial and error, practice and perfection it can not be absorbed through osmosis. Thats why so many books are written about bass fishing. Somebody somewhere figured out this secret and that method and decided to share them with readers.

The right place for garden earth tools Harvesting Earth Education Farm in Flint Michigan
Harvesting Earth Education Farm in Flint Michigan
Image by Michigan Municipal League (MML) Jacky and Dora King are karate instructors near Flint, Michigan, whove started up several urban gardens as a way to help revitalize the Flint area community and also teach their students about healthy living and eating. The Michigan Municipal League is so impressed with what the Kings are doing that the League is having them share their story during our 2010 Convention Sept. 21-24 in Dearborn. The Kings, along with Erin Caudell of the Ruth Mott Foundation, will talk about urban gardening and how communities throughout Michigan and nation can use it as a tool to make vacant lots and run-down neighborhoods vital once again. The Kings and their Harvesting Earth rake hoe Educational Farm also will be the focus of a documentary film, called The Kings of Flint, being made by Michigan State Universitys College of Communication Arts and Sciences that officials hope to air on PBS later this year. You can view an excerpt of this outstanding documentary on YouTube here:www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWls9b0rpk. For details about the Leagues Convention go toconvention.mml.org. For details about the League go to www.mml.org/home.html. Pictured in these photos by the Michigan Municipal League are Jacky King, Dora King, and student workers, Hakim Gillard, 17; Cody Houston, 17; Zachary Shutes, 17; Shaquita Morris, 17; Mallory Horton, 18; and Samantha Freeman, 18. In six years, the Kings have grown their urban gardening program from nothing to a program that now encompasses 16 former vacant city lots in
Mt. Morris Township and Genesee Township and last year involved more than 900 volunteers and paid workers. Question by azn boy: how is this? The Key to Extinction On night, after eating chocolate ice cream, God had a horrible nightmare. He envisioned His mom yelling and scolding at Him, for having such a messy room. After finally waking up from his boundless tormenting dream, He got up and searched his computer for the greatest cleaner on earth. It took him a flash of light for His 1997 Dell computer to jump start and go onto the internet to search up the cleanest person living in the world. On Godgle list, the fastest search engine ever to be built, the name Jesus Cortez was on the top, with the record holding The Earths Best Cleaner. A light bulb went on, above Gods head, and he said, Ive got it. With a wave of his fingers, He summons Death to bring up Mr. Cortez from Earth. After an hour past, Death comes back to God and behind him was scared little Jesus. What took you so long? God said to Death. The drunk driver pulled over for some coffee, Death said. With great confusion, Jesus finally said out load, Hrare am I? Last thing I remember was that I saw a flash of light and now I am here. I demand an explanation. You are in heaven my son, God said, I have brought you here to help me do something. Heaven, but I never went to church except the time I went to paint the walls. Aye, my son, for I have brought u here to ask you to help me clean thy room. It is a mess! with those words God puts His hand on Jesus shoulders and leads him to His room. After a short walk, passing the Garden of Eden, they stop in front of a pair of massive door. Aye, braise yourself my son and He opens the doors. With a great shock, Jesus jaws dropped as similar as the apple when Newton found gravity. Oh my, Jesus mumbled. Aye, it was this way since man was around. You see, my son, men always have a handful of problems they want me to solve, and I try to do my best, so I dont have time to fix anything in my room. That is why I brought you here. This is my one job for you, Jesus. Can you help me? Yes Sir, Jesus said and went straight to work. God suddenly stopped him and walked him straight to a little hole with purple light and a sign, saying Warning Do not put the Key in the Hole. What is this? asked Jesus. God pointed to a black key to the left and said, This, my son is The Key to Extinction. Dont ever put the key in this hole! and with out saying another word God left to finish
off His work. Jesus worked quickly to clean Gods sloppy room. It tool him a long time, but after six hours of hard and exhausting cleaning Jesus finally finished. He started walking toward the doors but accidentally bumped into the table with made a rumble and shook off the two signs and key of the table. The signs slipped into the back of the garbage can and the key fell on Jesus shoe. Not noticing the signs in the wastes he picked up the key and looked around. He spotted a little key hole on the wall and he tried to remember what God had said before about some sort of key. The key looked as if it was suppose to belong within the hole, so he stuck the key into the hole and walked out of the room. Are you finished with cleaning the room God asked. Yes sir, Jesus replied. Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the computer, which Jesus recognized. The sound made him remember the time when he was talking to his seven kids about the internet, when suddenly a weird noise came on from the computer. Sir, I think you have an I.M., Jesus said. When God walked over to his computer he was shocked. His eyes almost jumped out of its socket. He quickly went to his room and left Jesus standing there. Since Jesus was tired from the cleaning he slipped onto Gods computer chair, which had a label from Ikea. He then heard the same familiar Boink sound coming from the computer. It caught his attention and the information from the computer caused him to fall onto the ground. The message read Warning, the world is in trouble. There is a Green House Effect in the atmosphere causing global warming. The carbon, created from the factories and cars, have tripled the oxygen. There is also an imbalance of salt and fresh water within the ocean cause from the melting of the polar ice caps and creating much more violent storms all across the world. Suddenly another Boink came up and this message said, Warning, killer comet from space is going to collide with earth. Warning, new influenza found flying with birds. Suddenly God comes back into the room furiously, What on Gods World did you do!! Jesus replies, Clean your room? yea i no its a essay u no a pic promp Best answer: Answer by janine longest joke ever. in the history of jokes.. I couldnt even finish it.

{ Comments on this entry are closed } Harvesting Earth Education Farm in Flint Michigan
Image by Michigan Municipal League (MML) Jacky and Dora King are karate instructors near Flint, Michigan, whove started up several urban gardens as a way to help revitalize the Flint area community and also teach their students about healthy living and eating. The Michigan Municipal League is so impressed with what the Kings are doing that the League is having them share their story during our 2010 Convention Sept. 21-24 in Dearborn. The Kings, along with Erin Caudell of the Ruth Mott Foundation, will talk about urban gardening and how communities throughout Michigan and nation can use it as a tool to make vacant lots and run-down neighborhoods vital once again. The Kings and their Harvesting Earth Educational Farm also will be the focus of a documentary film, called The Kings of Flint, being made by Michigan State Universitys College of Communication Arts and Sciences that officials hope to air on PBS later this year. You can view an excerpt of this outstanding documentary on YouTube here:www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWls9b0rpk. For details about the Leagues Convention go toconvention.mml.org. For details about the League go to www.mml.org/home.html. Pictured in these photos by the Michigan Municipal League are Jacky King, Dora King, and student workers, Hakim Gillard, 17; Cody Houston, 17; Zachary Shutes, 17; Shaquita Morris, 17; Mallory Horton, 18; and Samantha Freeman, 18. In six years, the Kings have grown their urban gardening program from nothing to a program that now encompasses 16 former vacant city lots in Mt. Morris Township and Genesee Township and last year involved more than 900 volunteers and paid workers. Question by BlackSunshine84: When will we have had enough? S 510 1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency. It resembles the Kissinger Plan. 2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection. Instead, S 510 says: COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other
treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party. 3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into the United States. Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, entry of food into the US covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and entering into it by virtue of being produced. 4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food. It allows the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of every food on earth and remove access to natural food supplements. Its bizarre history and its expected impact in limiting access to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food, GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all safe and organic food and health itself, since the world knows now it needs vitamins to survive, not just to treat illnesses. 5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds How to criminalize them, for more details. 6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease. Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents. Animal diseases can be falsely declared. S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations. Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad) 7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety. 8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer. The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated. 9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate
local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe. The five items listed the Five Pillars of Food Safety are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger. 10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied. It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the US. Are we really going to sit back and allow the federal government to take away our right to purchase seeds and grow our own food? Best answer: Answer by John Boehner Republican Devil No, because people like me are going to fight for people like me and of higher class statuses. Forget you people of middle class and lower.

Image by Nics events Trillium and Bloodroot in bloom at Morning Sky Greenery This is my first batch of 2009 photos from Morning Sky Greenery. Sally called to say that the Trillium and Bloodroot were in bloom and wouldnt last long, so I ran out and spent about an hour shooting in the early morning. I then went back that evening to try to catch some outdoor shots, but some clouds had come in and the light was really flat. I did get a lot of equipment shots in the second greenhouse, however, with an emphasis on empty pots. I probably spent half an hour on those. After removing the obviously broken photos, Ive divided them into two groups: The "better" shots (in my opinion) (this set) and the rest. Sally, et al, should go through these and identify photos that they like/think they can use. Please also tell me when there are gaps or styles that you need and which are missing. I tend to shoot a very particular way when left to my own devices (lots of close-ups, for example), and if you need something else definitely speak up! Ive spent most of two hours moving todays photos to the computer, filtering out the obviously broken shots, and uploading the rest to Flickr for Sally to look at.
