Tarragon, rosemary, and thyme are among the most ancient of seasonings, yet there are few culinary achievements that can top good poultry roasted with these three herbs.</p> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:00:00 -0500 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-420/426-420.html Fruits & Vegetables Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/450/450-613/450-613.html Rust, caused by the fungus, Puccinia malvacearum, is the most common disease of hollyhock.

The disease is caused by the fungus Botrytis tulipae.

Trees and shrubs are perennial. Most garden flowers are herbaceous perennials. This means the tops of the plants (the leaves, stems, and flowers) die back to the ground each fall with the first frost or freeze. The roots persist through the winter, and every spring new plant tops arise. Any plant that lives through the winter is said to be hard</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-203/426-203.html Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-202/426-202.html <p>Much of the excitement of creating an herbaceous border lies in its great flexibility of design. In form, placement, and selection of plants, the contemporary border follows few rigid rules and allows fullest expression of the gardener's taste.</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-202/426-202.html Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs Garden & Landscape Design http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-201/426-201.html <p>"Bulbs" is a term loosely used to include corms, tubers, tuberous roots, and rhizomes as well as true bulbs. This publication will refer to all of the above as bulbs. Many vegetables are propagated from or produce edible organs of these types (e.g., tuber, Irish potato; tuberous root, sweet potato; rhizome, Jerusalem artichoke; bulb, onion).</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-201/426-201.html Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-200/426-200.html <p>Annual flowers live only for one growing season, during which they grow, flower, and produce seed, thereby completing their life cycle. Annuals must be set out or seeded every year since they don't persist. Some varieties will self-sow, or naturally reseed themselves. This may be undesirable in many flowers because the parents of this seed are unknown and hybrid characteristics will be lost. Plants will scatter everywhere instead of growing in their designated spot. Examples are alyssum, petunias, and impatiens. Some perennials, which are plants that live from year to year, are classed with annuals because they are not winter-hardy and must be set out every year; begonias and snapdragons are examples.</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-200/426-200.html Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-030/426-030.html <p>Daylilies are good plants for the beginning gardener because they are relatively maintenance free. Daylilies are not true lilies (genus Lilium). They belong to the genus Hemerocallis, from the Greek words meaning "day" and "beauty" or "beautiful for a day." This is appropriate because each blossom typically lasts no more than a day. Each plant produces an abundance of buds, however, so the total blooming time of a wellestablished clump may be 30 to 40 days.</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-030/426-030.html Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/452/452-719/452-719.html Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/452/452-719/452-719.html Soils Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs
