Verticillium Wilt: The Soilborne Disease Claiming Victim(s)

May 7, 2020 By Heather Blackmore 7 Comments

Hi there!

I'm Heather and I love to grow stuff. LOTS of stuff. Most importantly, a healthy family. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a passion for playing in the dirt. Read More…

This combo is giving me all the feels today. Wench is the only bearded iris I grow and I love how she looks paired with Wildberry heuchera, Mini Saffron barberry in the foreground and Seducer hosta bringing up the rear. I love how they grow into each other and the way the chartreuse color of the barberry makes everything around it pop. @provenwinners @pwcolorchoice #plantcombinations #smallspacegarden #beardediris #purpleandyellow #perennialgarden #inmygardentoday #gardening #zone5b #chicagogarden #heuchera #irises #hosta #barberry #hereshegrows

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” My Scarlet O’Hara peony opened today and unlike Rhett Butler, I DO give a damn. She’s a beauty. #peonies #scarletohara #peonyseason #gonewiththewind #garden #inmygarden #zone5b #chicagogardening #hereshegrows #smallspacegarden

The wren is singing his little heart out while the hummingbird takes advantage of my fountain I scrubbed and plugged in yesterday. I start every day during the garden season sipping coffee and enjoying this space. What’s the point of having a garden if you don’t take time to absorb all the beauty it invites? #myhappyplace #inmygarden #hummingbirdsofinstagram #rubythroatedhummingbird #gardenfountain #birdbath #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorgardens #smallspacegarden #waterfeature #birds #zone5bgardening #chicagogarden #hereshegrows #backyardgardener #fountain

Some of my favorite things this morning…🌱Dolce Wildberry heuchera is all about the foliage and I’m here for it…🌱I can’t remember the name of this monarda (it was a trial sent a few years ago) but it blooms in May every year and Peter Rabbit wants nothing to do with it…🌱And while I’m on the fence about whether or not the Sicilian Honey Garlic will be around much longer (they flop and grow in all sorts of weird contorted ways) I love the bell flowers. What are you loving in your garden right now?

If you need me, I’ll be in the veg garden. The soil in my @vego_garden raised beds is 70 degrees and ready for the climbing zucchini, baby butternut squash, salad slicer cucumbers and nasturtium I started from seed in late April. What are you planting in your veg garden?

Just a few moments from my garden this morning…

Just a few moments from my garden this morning…

🌱The Musa basjoo banana is leafing out following winter storage in my basement. A good feed and plenty of 💦 woke him up! I love the alliums surrounding it right now.

🌱Can’t beat the purpley goodness of Cat’s Pajamas nepeta in the foreground. The yellow on the Autumn Frost hostas in the background just pops next to the grey Adirondack chairs.

🌱The most recent addition to the shade garden, Fun and Games ‘Eye Spy’ heucherella, has fabulous foliage and brightens up the space.

🌱And last but not least, the Salvia argentea is about to pop any day now! I grow it from seed and the foliage was gorgeous last year. It’s biennial and will peter out once it completes flowering. But I have a tray of fresh starts waiting in the wings to replant. 😉

How are things coming along in your garden?

🐰Rabbits and voles, no matter how cute, can ruin your hard work in a blink 👀! I’ve experimented with a lot of stuff but have had great results with @plantskyddrepellents and it’s not just effective for small nuisances. I’m fortunate to not have deer pressure, but it works on them too. It’s 💯% organic, won’t harm your pets or the little critters you’re trying to keep out. In my experience, I’ve only had to reapply it after a heavy rainfall. It also comes with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re having critter issues, give it a go and let me know what you think! #plantskydd #rabbitrepellant #gardenpests #rabbits #gardenissues #gardentip #rabbitinthegarden #rabbitproblems #rabbitskeepout #freeloaders #inmygarden #chicagogarden #zone5b #hereshegrows #smallspacegarden

🌽There’s nothing like homegrown sweet corn and it’s so easy to grow in raised beds.

🤙 I space my corn 8” apart and my “hang loose” sign is exactly that distance 🤙 I scratch in some @espomaorganic Garden-tone fertilizer before planting and then use my hand to space the holes. It’s fast and super easy!

💜 I edged my @vego_garden with borage. It’s a great companion plant and helps to repel worms that attack corn as well as attract beneficial insects to the garden. The purple flowers are edible, adding a crisp cucumber flavor to salads 🥗 and drinks.

Bear in mind, once you plant borage, you ALWAYS have borage! It’s a strong self sower! 🌱🌱🌱
