<p>www.orserlandscaping.com 215-249-1236 Do you need any landscaping or hardscaping done at your home? Chris Orser Landscaping has been awarded &#8220;The Best in Bucks County&#8221; three years in a row. A lot of thought goes into planting a flower bed. Our designers look into what types of plants will be healthy in which type of area, etc. In this case the customer wanted to hide from view those big green cable boxes that become eye sores on many people&#8217;s lawns. So our designers designed a bed around them and planted bushes and shrubs that will both look great and grow larger in time to block out the green boxes from view. Give us a call so we can help you out with your landscaping needs.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by silly willy</i>: Zone 7 landscaping ideas needed for bushes and shrubs can you help ?</strong><br />
I live in So Or in zone 7 where it gets 2 105 in the summer&#8217;s hottest &#038;10 degrees-20 as average lowest.  I am retired &#038;have decided   2 make my flower beds into bark &#038; shrubs.  I am not an artist, have no idea 4 color&#038; detail.  I am the farmer part of the flowers.  I have it ready 2 get bushes &#038; shrubs, I am on a very tight, fixed budget, &#038; I would like to get Evergreen, non-deciduous for shrubs &#038; plants. I guess I want it all, cheap, pretty, all year,&#038; I can do lots with seeds, but shrubs&#038; bushes cost so much.   I do need to at least get started with a plan that  includes heighth, color etc.  I live in the city on a city lot where my flower beds which are on average about 4 ft. wide, great soil, and across the front by sidewalk and in front of house.  By sidewalk they get hot full sun in summer and in front of house, hard spot, they get hot full AFTERNOON SUN (west facing).  I also realized today I want something that grows fast Anything average is fine, I dont like them but easier</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by schazjmd</i><br/>I&#8217;ve got a great shrub for you &#8212; Mexican Orange Blossom, or Choisya ternata. It&#8217;s evergreen, grows quickly, flowers from spring through fall, and is pretty. One of mine, which I&#8217;ve let do what it wants, is about 5&#8242; high and 6&#8242; spread. Here&#8217;s a good photo of it: http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/shrubs/choisya-shrub-white-flower.html</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take the time to prepare the spot, condition the soil and support them. Doing so will help the plants for time to come. </p>
<p>Before you stand your new bushes, find out the pH rank of your soil. Soil suffering kits are swiftly available at most greenhouses and nurseries. With some exceptions, most plants will bloom when the pH degree is wherever between 5.8 and 6.5. It&#8217;s tough for plants to get the nutrients the hardship if the degree is too high or too low. To adjust a pH point which is too high, worth the soil is alkaline, add aluminum sulfate. If the soil is acidic and the pH turn too low adding emerald will start more kind planting conditions. </p>
<p>Soil composition is also important to lodge evolution. Most plants will not do well in exceedingly grimy soil or in poorly drained dirt soil. Before planting, prepare the place to guarantee adequate drainage. If your soil is poorly drained, figure up the planting beds by about 6 inches. While bayou bushes, such as summersweet, can tolerate some durable water, most bushes cannot. Adding composted bark or other course textured organic pertinent to the unfilled earth will help perfect drainage. Be surely the veneer grade of your plot slopes away from the planting beds and forestall low spots as water may not drain for numerous days. </p>
<p>When planting a distinct workshop in poorly drained or trodden soil, set it about 2&#8243; to 4&#8243; higher than its previous planting extent and physique the soil up to the station of its stalk. This will tolerate oxygen to reach the roots and start spare water to drain away from the hide pretty than horde beneath it. The top of the rummage globe may dry out briefly in the summer, so be organized to water frequently during hot climate. </p>
<p>Because they are so well drained, grimy soils don&#8217;t conduct water or nutrients well. Sandy soils, as disparate to dirt soils, necessary the addition of water retentive organic important such as manure, muck and peat moss. When adding your soil amendments avoid uncomposted bark or copse chips as they tend to rob planting of nitrogen. Use well composted organic crop with a precious, crude smell and murky russet appearance. </p>
<p>Once the soil is well conditioned and you&#8217;re game to workshop, respect these common guidelines. Dig a puncture at slightest double, but preferably 3 to 5 time, the diameter of the core sphere and just as rich. Digging any deeper and backdrop the stand on troubled soil can result settling. The wider the unravel the easier it will be for new roots to grow and paste. If the lodge comes balled in burlap then just eradicate the nylon yarn from around the case of the shrub. There&#8217;s no hardship to subtract the burlap completely; removing it can sometimes affect the soil to collapse from the roots. If it&#8217;s fixed around the truck minimally undo it and tuck in down along the plane of the basis globe. Make persuaded the burlap is valid, fake burlap doesn&#8217;t fester and will need to be detached or at slightest pulled away from the rootball. </p>
<p>Container matured plants are installed just as the balled and burlaped are. Before removing the yard from the container curb the underside of the container; roots regularly will open mounting out of the drainage holes, if they are cut them. If the factory has become ransack border loosen the roots before planting. </p>
<p>Next, place the yard in the fault making surely that the top of the nose ball meets the presented grade of the plot. Never deposit new or transplanted shrubs too low in the ground as it&#8217;s a chief root of premature plant decline. Backfill around the rootball with a mix of open soil, peat moss and compost. Be effective to occasion distant any clumps of soil since they can cause troublesome air pockets beneath the face. About middle, fill the soil down lightly, water and let the soil resolve. Finish backfilling, create a bowl around the trunk of the hierarchy and water again. Staking may be required if the plant is tall and exposed to curl. </p>
<p>Apply 2 to 3 inches of bark mulch over the planted zone. Mulching helps to condense tidying swelling, hold wetness in the soil and will eventually break down adding organic material to the soil. </p>
<p>Planting shrubs in the spring gives them an entire upward season confirm themselves in the plot. While it&#8217;s a great time of year to plant, you&#8217;ll need to nurture them through the summer months. Hot dry withstand can stress newly planted shrubs so screen them and irrigate as needed. In universal, shrubs are very low maintenance and with apposite site preparation they can last a time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji berries are wild berries from the hills in the Ningxia Region of China. Also known as Wolfberries, Lycium berries and Gou Ji Zi berries, they have been used in Traditional Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese medicine for centuries to nourish yin and improve the functioning of the &#8216;water element&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The plants grow like bushes with vines that reach over 15 feet. The berries are never touched by hand as they will oxidize and turn black if touched while fresh. They are shaken onto mats, and then dried in the shade. These berries are grown without pesticides or other chemicals in one of the purest places on earth. Of the many varieties of Lycium, the Tibetan Lycium berry has earned the respect of the great Physicians of Tibet over these many centuries. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Tibetan variety of Lycium now known as &#8216;Goji&#8217; is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Tibetan Goji berries are not Chinese wolfberries and it is not correct to call the Chinese wolfberry &#8216;Goji&#8217;. The ancient Tibetan Lycium berry is a different plant then the Chinese wolfberry and grown in a different country. The nutrient dense energy of the Goji berry has been recognized as having the highest in nutrient content of all the 80 plus varieties of Lycium berries on Earth. Many marketers, both Chinese and Western now often call there wolfberries &#8216;Goji&#8217; to give them special market importance.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Goji berry grows in profusion in remote wild areas with vines reaching over twenty feet. The small round red berries are harvested in the late summer by being shaken onto collection trays, then washed, inspected and oven dried at controlled low temperature, then inspected and tested again before packaging. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Every year they are tested for purity and that they are free of any chemical pesticides, sulfur or heavy metals. A handful a day is said to provide the energy to overcome difficult obstacles in healing, promote cheerfulness and brighten the spirit.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
They have strong antioxidant, anti-ageing and anticancer properties and are used to boost the immune system, improve hearing, eye-sight, and liver function, maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, strengthen bones and tendons, burn fat, build muscle, increase libido, enhance fertility and reduce morning sickness. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
They are a delicious, gentle and soothing tonic fruit that is loaded with available vitality. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries have the highest content of carotenoids, including beta carotene among all known foods on earth, and can contain up to 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. The fruits also have significant amounts of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin E. They are rich in amino acids and trace 21 trace minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, and selenium and phosphorous.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Mature fruits contain about 11 mg or iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine (0.1%).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries contain polysaccharides which fortify the immune system. A polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful secretagogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Goji berry has traditionally been utilized to nurture the heart, strengthen the immune system, facilitate optimal liver function and treat insomnia. It also increases visual perspicacity and, as a <br />&#13;<br />
traditional blood tonic, it has a proud heritage in the treatment of forgetfulness, lethargy and anxiety related to blood and chi deficiencies. Recently the subject of various scientific studies <br />&#13;<br />
throughout the world, Goji berries have been found to be effective in increasing white blood cells and depressing the activity of cancer cells. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In studies conducted in countries such as Mongolia, Japan, China and Switzerland, researchers have determined that the Goji berry fruit (as well as an extract from the leaves of the plant) is capable of killing some kinds of cancer cells under laboratory conditions. This is thought to be primarily due to the presence of 124ppm of organic Germanium contained within the berries. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
According to Japanese studies, organic Germanium may be useful in the treatment of liver, lung, and uterine, cervical and testicular cancer in combination with other drugs. It would appear that Goji berries, as a consequence of the Germanium as well as other constituents of the plant, are capable of inhibiting the hydrogen ion in the cancer cells, thereby depressing the synthesis of cancerous DNA. Many more studies are yet to be conducted and scrutinized by the medical and scientific communities, but it would appear that in essence the Goji berries might be helping to lower the reproductive capacity of cancerous cells.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It is said in Tibet that eating these &#8216;Goji&#8217; berries in the morning will make you happy the entire day, with such a practice, eventually you can&#8217;t stop smiling.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The taste is not too difficult to describe, some say between a cranberry and a cherry, others say they taste of raspberry and plum, you will have to decide for yourself!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Savior each berry individually or add to hot and cold cereals, blend fruit juice drinks, add a handful to your water bottle and eat them as you drink, use in trail mix, soups, whole fruit and nut bars, baked goods, tea and fruit juice blends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are close to a half of a million different species of plants around the world. Plants are amazing organisms which can live both underwater and on land. All plants have to survive some sort of harsh conditions in their environments to grow and thrive. The plant family encompasses trees, flowers, bushes, shrubs, vines, herbs, moss, seaweeds and green algae. If you are interested in gardening or any other plant related activities, it is wise to learn how plants grow. Every different species of plant will have different requirements for its care. Some plants will require less sunlight, some will require more, some plants will have different water requirements than others and so on. </p>
<p>If you are interested in knowing how plants grow, you will have to first look at propagation. Certain plants will have both male and female parts and others will not. However, they will all depend on wind, bees and other insects to help them with both pollination and fertilization. Some plants propagate by sending out runner shoots from the main plant. Other plants will create bulbs, buds or suckers to propagate new plants through the soil to other locations. Some pine trees will only release their seeds after a large fire. These pine trees require the heat to open their cones and seeds. Humans, of course, also help with the propagation of plants by splicing for cress breeding new growths on older plants. </p>
<p>Plants depend on the nature of their environment to survive. They also depend on other living things to survive. All of them need sunlight except for the plants that live in the deep parts of oceans and seas. Many underwater plants get the nutrients that they need from the water. A plant&#8217;s food comes from water and soil. It will also create food and energy through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs from the intake of sunlight. Soil will provide plants with the minerals that they need. Plants require a stable balance of natural processes to grow properly.</p>
