Even small leaves used as winter soil protection don’t completely disintegrate into the soil by planting time in the spring.
Dear Helen: I’ve noticed, with increasing frequency, the admonition to protect the soil in our garden plots, especially over the winter, by keeping it covered. Leaves are usually recommended. My question: Do all leaves decompose completely over the course of the winter season?Not in my experience. Even the small, cut-leaf Japanese maple leaves I sometimes gather from a garden across the street don’t completely disintegrate into the soil by planting time in the spring.
Dear Helen: Late last fall was the first time for me to unpot my begonia tubers and store them in a frost-free place for the winter. Now I’m wondering when and how they should be started back into growth again.I usually aim for the first week in March, because that’s almost always when the first tiny nubs of pink growth begin to appear at the tubers’ upper surfaces. I’d check your tubers now, and consider bringing them into the house to begin re-growing.
Dear Helen: Why do my amaryllis bulbs, in their post-bloom phase, always produce big leaves that flop over?You are wise to be concerned. A decent amount of strong foliage on post-bloom amaryllis bulbs works to help nourish and mature the bulb for another round of flowers. Seaweed fertilizer is rich in trace minerals and most seaweed products are well balanced among the major nutrients. They help to keep amaryllis foliage sturdy, dark green, and attractive.
