the HERALD Community Wednesday October 1991 Town Gardener Time to collect garden valuables ByTOMCAVAN Herald Special Now that frost has taken its toll it is time to go out into the garden and collect your perennial and annual valuables Mother Nature has delivered her Fall message to all plants to prepare for winter Some of your peren root systems are tender to our climate and must be brought inside for the winter gladioli tuberous begonias dahlias carina lilies calla acidenthra montbnettia etc etc The proper tools would be a clean digging fork and spade Taking into consideration how large and vigorous your plants were place your spade away from the crown all visible stems coming from the ground and cut down as vertical as ble giving only a slight tug sideways once the spade is Now take your digging fork loosen and remove the root ball with soil intact If your clumps are large enough you can divide these food stores as you loosen the earth off Any soil that does not come off easily should remain on the roots and can be brushed off later Place your col lectibles on newspaper in your garden and air dry for or days Once the soil is dry gently brush off all soil and clean any loose dry deteriorated parts leaving only firm fleshly roots bulbs corns modified stems get the picture Allow to air dry for another 2 days to be sure no ex cess moisture is trapped in some of those unusual looking root systems Now storing for the winter is the key to next years success Place in dry peat moss or wood shavings and hang them in per bags e onion sacs potato burlap bags or an even more resourceful used nylon Tag your plants with as much in formation as you can muster name colour and date Approximately mid Jan to you should check them to be sure of no potential problems If any roots appear to shrivel or dry soak for 1015 minutes in water with a couple drops of to every gallon of solution Remove from the water and air dry for a couple of days This will prevent desiccation and keep molds and mildew in check Once dry place back in clean dry peat moss or wood shavings Community Service Bulletins A The Newf ie Store LIVE LOBSTER Or Try Some Fish The Healthy Choice MOORE PARK PLAZA
