...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifEarly last spring, I decided to expand my pinetum. The bed was cleared, cleaned, and prepared for planting.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOver several weeks, I planted a variety of different evergreens with interesting growth habits, foliage, and texture.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAfter the area was recently groomed, I noticed more plants were needed to fill in various empty spaces.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI worked with my head gardener, Ryan McCallister, to plan what specimens would make nice additions. These are potted Eastern red cedars.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere's Ryan also positioning some potted pines - the varying colors of the trees and shrubs will look so beautiful together.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAs gardens develop, it's important to watch what does well, note where plants are still needed, and then thoughtfully decide what should be added next.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI always encourage my team to use the right tools for the right jobs. Do you know the difference between a shovel and a spade? A shovel is longer, angled, and its blade is curved into more of a scoop with a pointed tip. Shovels are better for digging up, breaking apart, and lifting soil as well as for scooping and moving loose materials. A spade has a relatively flat blade with straight edges and the blade tends to be in line with the shaft, rather than angled forward. Spades are good for edging and cutting.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNorman uses the spade to cut through the soil and outline the hole which should be at least twice the size of the plant.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThen he uses the shovel to lift the soil out.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNow this hole and its surrounding soil are ready for a sprinkling of fertilizer.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI use the appropriate Scotts fertilizer for evergreens and flowering trees and shrubs.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNorman removes the plant from its pot and teases the roots on the bottom. The root ball is in good condition, so this can easily be done with one's hand. Scarifying the roots helps with nutrient absorption by loosening them and allowing them to expand into the new soil.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNorman places it in the hole and checks to be sure that it is planted at the right depth. It should be at the same level as it was in the pot.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifFinally, he backfills and tamps down lightly to create a good connection between the root ball and the existing soil.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThese weeping willow trees, which I planted here years ago, have done so well. Weeping willows are wide and tall with curtains of drooping branches that sweep the ground.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIt takes a full day to get all the plants in, but they fill the areas nicely. When adding plants to any garden, always consider the planting environment, the plant's growth habit and space needs, and its light requirements.

...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNo alt attribute provided
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifEverything thrives here in part because of the excellent soil which I amend often with nutrient rich compost and organic fertilizer. I am very proud of how it is developing. I'll be sure to share more photos of the pinetum as the newest trees and shrubs grow.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifDavid's exhibit fills the entire building in what is his biggest presentation to date. The display includes works borrowed from institutions all over the world, including London, Oslo, Düsseldorf, Milan, Dallas and Melbourne, as well as works from David's own collection.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe two story Fondation Louis Vuitton structure has 11 galleries of different sizes. It also houses a 350 seat auditorium and a multi-level roof for events and art installations.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe building opened in 2014. It was designed by the well-known architect Frank O. Gehry. The facade is made of 3,600 glass panels and 19,000 concrete panels.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifDavid's works in this display span several decades. This is called David Hockney, "Adhesiveness," 1960. David is one of the leading figures of the pop art movement of this time.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is David Hockney "A Bigger Splash," 1967 which shows how David captured specific moments in time. It is a famous work included in a series of paintings Hockney created featuring the California lifestyle.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere is David Hockney, "A Bigger Grand Canyon," 1998. David uses vibrant colors, varying techniques, and themes inspired by his own personal observations, surroundings, and experiences.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifDavid hockney, "Bigger Trees near Warter," Winter, 2008. The entire work is a landscape painting and depicts trees near Warter, a small village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe oil painting is done on nine canvases each measuring 36-inches by 48-inches.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd this is David Hockney "Bigger Trees Nearer Warter," Summer 2008.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe exhibit separated sections dedicated to David's works on various landscapes and the changing of the seasons.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIt also featured David's pieces showing light variations - both night and day.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifDavid also devotes time to making digital creations on his iPad. These flowers are part of a series of 20 made in 2021.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe arrangements represent floral still life, and his observations of the changing seasons in what is included in the bouquets.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifVarious elements in each work change including the type of flowers, the vase, and the color and shadows in the tablecloth.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIn the larger display of this large-scale photographic drawing, "Looking at the Flowers," 2022, it shows David sitting at both left and right sides, sitting in a chair, looking at the wall of smaller framed works.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is David Hockney, "27 March 2020, No. 1" 2020.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd here is David Hockney, "After Munch: Less is Known than People Think," 2023.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNo alt attribute provided
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is called David Hockney, Giverny by DH, 2023.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIf you have the chance, do visit David Hockney 25 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. I know you'll enjoy this exhibit.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifMy blueberry bushes are laden with delicious fruits - they've never been so full. My blueberries are all from these bushes located between my flower garden and large Equipment Barn, next to a stand of quince trees.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe posts are the same 18th-century Chinese granite uprights I use for the clematis pergola, my apple espaliers, and my raspberry bushes.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifStandard blueberry bushes grow about six to 10-feet tall. New shoots grow from the crown under the soil.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAt the base, blueberry shrubs have multiple canes growing directly out of the earth in clumps. The canes or branches are smooth and thornless. These bushes have done so well here at the farm. I am always so pleased with how prolific they are every year.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifBlueberry bushes have glossy leaves that are green or bluish-green from spring through summer. The leaves are ovate, in an irregular oval or slightly egg shape that is wider at the bottom than the top. Blueberry leaves can also be harvested and dried for teas.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd do you know... blueberries are among the most popular berries for eating? Here in the United States, they are second only to strawberries. There are two types of blueberries, highbush and lowbush. Highbush blueberries are the types you commonly find at grocery stores and farmers’ markets. Lowbush blueberries are smaller, sweeter blueberries often used for making juices, jams, and baked goods.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifBlueberries are pale greenish at first, and then reddish-purple and finally dark purple-blue when ripe for picking.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere, one can see the colors of the berries as they develop – green, then red, then blue.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd blueberries don’t actually reach their full flavor until a few days after they turn blue, so a tip to know which ones are the best – tickle the bunches lightly, and only the truly ripe ones will fall into your hand.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifEach of these fruits is about five to 16 millimeters large with a flared crown at the end. They were once called “star fruits” by North American indigenous peoples because of the five-pointed star shaped crown.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifBlueberries are covered in a protective powdery epicuticular wax known as the “bloom”. Blueberries are high in fiber, high in vitamin-C, and contain one of the highest amounts of antioxidants among all fruits and vegetables.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifMany blueberries also fall to the ground. All those picked are carefully inspected – only the best are saved. The rest are enjoyed by the birds.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere's Enma with a full box of berries - picked in just a few minutes. I grow many blueberry varieties, including ‘Bluegold’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Darrow’, ‘Jersey’, and ‘Patriot’.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThese boxes were all picked in under an hour. Blueberries produce from early summer through late fall – we will pick lots and lots of berries before the end of the season.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNot far from the blueberries is my raspberry patch. I have several rows of raspberry bushes. Summer-bearing raspberry bushes produce one crop each season that lasts about one month.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOne plant can produce several hundred berries in a season. Raspberries are vigorous growers and will produce runners that fill up a bed.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOnce raspberries are picked, they stop ripening, so under-ripe berries that are harvested will never mature to the maximum sweetness. Only ripe raspberries will come right off the stem. The black raspberry plant is a high producing early variety whose upright growth makes it easy for picking.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThese are red raspberries. These must be picked and handled very carefully as they are very delicate.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI also have blackberry bushes. This is one of the fruits. The blackberry is packed with vitamins C, K, and E, rich in dietary fiber, and low in sugar. Blackberries are juicy and delicious eaten raw.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI always grow strawberries. Strawberries are among the easiest berries to grow. They are cold-hardy and adaptable, and can be planted in both garden beds and containers.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifGooseberries are native to Europe, northwest Africa, and all regions of Asia except for the north. Gooseberries grow best in areas with cold, freezing winters and humid summers.
