Laurel Statz of Cross Plains , WI showcases last summer prolific bloomers .
" We used to hold up in a big old farm home with much shade around . I was quite well-heeled with shade horticulture . Then we establish a logarithm home and move there to bareness . I ’ve had to learn a novel kind of gardening with sun and I ’ve been work on growing some ghost . There ’s always the Second Earl of Guilford side of the house , right .
This past summertime I got quite serious about adding organic material and rock inorganic phosphate to the beds . I was very rewarded for my efforts . The natural soil is clay and crushed rock and this year I kept a bag of compost with me wherever I worked in the gardens . "
