Though he lived a tragically short life - dying at just twelve days after his 28th birthday - John left behind an extraordinary legacy that bridges East and West through botanical art and discovery. 1877 William Rickatson Dykes [RICK-et-sun DYKES] is born in Bayswater, London. Though he began his career as a classics teacher at Charterhouse School, it was his passion for irises that would ultimately define his legacy. 1884 Harry Ferguson is born near Dromara [droh-MAR-ah] in County Down, Ireland. While we often think of gardening in terms of hand tools and intimate connections with the soil, Ferguson revolutionized how we cultivate the earth on a grand scale.

Once planted the asparagus roots will spread both vertically and horizontally underground You may not get any berries this year. I live in an apartment and I have a small patio. I would love to grow some veggies there. The problem is there is not a lot of sun there. Are there any veggies that don't need a lot of sun? I normally plant my indeterminate tomatoes horizontally in garden bed. i have some determinants, and was wondering if u can plant them horizontal? i was reading u shouldnt trim much off the bottom of them. so thought maybe no i shouldn't plant horizontal, cuz horizontal i trim all off but very top.. PLEASE I NEEDS HELP I have a compost pile of heats up but it smells like ammonia why? A: If your compost smells sour like ammonia, the most common reason is too much green material and/or a lack of brown material. You should use 2 to 3 times as much browns as greens. ..

There's a soldier's prayer that goes,   "Stay with me, God. The night is dark, The night is cold: my little spark Of courage dies. The night is long; Be with me, God, and make me strong.   Dark. Cold. Long.   It's easy to get so excited about the first nice days of spring.   "It was 80 degrees today!"   "It's going to be above 70 all next week!"   Well, hold your horses. You're forgetting about those nights. Remember?   Dark. Cold. Long.   No fun for tender transplants. Over in the FB group for listeners of the show, listener Denise Pugh shared an awesome Facebook Live session put on by one of the best: Lisa Mason Ziegler from The Gardener's Workshop. In the video, Lisa mentions the secret to successful transitioning of transplants from indoors to outdoors - the secret is consistent nighttime temps of 60 degrees or higher.   She's got a ton of other sage pieces of wisdom as well for growing warm weather crops - so head on over to the Daily Gardener Community on Facebook and check out the replay.  In the meantime, remember to curb your enthusiasm about those first lovely warm days of spring. Save the real celebration for the arrival of warm nights.     Brevities   #OTD On this day in 1863, botanist, physician and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, William Darlington died.     Like eminent botanists John Bartram, Humphry Marshall, and William Baldwin, Darlington was born in Pennsylvania as a Quaker.  A native of West Chester, he received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. As a student, Benjamin Barton, the author of the first American botany textbook, encouraged his interest in botany.   After an appointment as a surgeon for an East India merchant, Darlington traveled to Calcutta.  A year later, when he returned from India, he married Catharine Lacey, the daughter of a distinguished Revolutionary War General. An abiding counselor and partner to William, they would be together for forty years; having four sons and four daughters.  Their oldest son Benjamin Smith Barton Darlington and their youngest son William Baldwin Darlington were both named in honor of fellow botanists.   1826 was a big year for Darlington. He organized and presided over the Chester County Cabinet of Natural Sciences and he published his first edition of "Florula Cestrica," his catalogue of plants in West Chester.   An archivist, Darlington worked to preserve correspondence and documents of Humphry Marshall and John Bartram; he compiled them, along with illustrations of their homes, under the title of "Memorials of Bartram and Marshall." In 1853, the botanist John Torrey named a new and remarkable variety of pitcher-plant found in California  for Darlington, calling it  Darlingtonia Californica. He had been similarly honored but Augustin de Candolle who named a genus after him.  Darlington's large herbarium and works were bequeathed to the Chester County Cabinet of Natural Science. He was buried in the Oaklands Cemetery, near West Chester. An epitaph in Latin is inscribed on his stone marker, written by Darlington some twenty years before his death: "Plantae Cestrienses, quas dilexit atque illustravit, super tumulum ejus semper floreant" or May the plants of Chester, which he loved and documented, forever blossom over his grave. And, Darlington's tombstone is crowned with a relief of Darlingtonia californica.   #OTD It's the birthday of Thomas Grant Harbison born in 1862.   Harbison was a self-taught in botanist earning advanced degrees including a PhD by correspondence - a fairly novel concept in the late 1800s.    In 1886, Harbison and a friend created their own version of Survivor. They followed forest and mountain paths through Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Cutting themselves off from civilization, they allowed themselves only five items for daily living: a wool en blanket, a rubber poncho, a tin bucket, a bag of wheat, and a tin of brown sugar. Their only other indulgence was a copy of Alphonso Wood's Manual of Botany to aid their study the plants.   Harbison remembered that, in wartime, Caesar's soldiers ate wheat crushed and turned into a mush. This was their primary source of sustenance - which they would sweeten with the brown sugar and berries picked along the way. It was a formative event for Harbison. This survivalist experience helped Harbison develop his famed skill for finding any particular species in ways few other man could equal.   Harbison was part of a corp of botanists hired by the Biltmore Herbarium - the famous Vanderbilt botanical garden at Asheville, North Carolina.  As a plant collector for Biltmore, Harbison travelled throughout the United States - specifically searching for tree and shrub specimens. After leaving in 1903, Harbison was the only Biltmore collector who went on to work purely as a botanist. He brought attention to over 100 new or little known tree species as a field representative for Charles Sprague Sargent at Harvard's Arnold Arboretum. When Harbison came to Highlands, North Carolina looking for specimens for Harvard, he found such a treasure of botanical specimens that he made the Highlands his home. Harbison said that he regarded the Highlands a botanical paradise of wild plants which he attributed to the fact that the area had escaped the great glacier movements that formed much of the world. Thomas Harbison died in his sleep at the age of 74.  Harvard botany Professor William Chambers Coker said, "Mr. Harbison was a man of the highest character and of warm, human feeling. In his death the University loses notonly a great botanist, but a delightful companion." Today, the Thomas GrantHarbison House is a historic house at 2930 Walhalla Road, just outside Highlands, North Carolina. The trees on the property date back to Harbison and include a grove of hemlock [Tsuga canadensis], white pine [Pinus strobus], and oak [Quercus sp.] trees. Harbison is recorded as planting the group of six Florida nutmeg trees on the east side of the house. It is believed Harbison secured them on one of his collecting expeditions for the Arnold Arboretum. A willow named Falix Har-bisonii (ii = "ee-eye") and a hawthorn named "Crataegus 'Harbosinii (ii = "ee-eye")" native to the country surrounding Nashville, were named to honor Thomas Harbison.   Unearthed Words #OTD Today is the birthday of William Shakespeare.  He was born on this day in 1564.  The Bard's works are loaded with references to plants and gardens. Roses are referred to around a hundred times by Shakespeare, probably influenced to some extent by their link to the Tudor dynasty as well as the flower’s own obvious merits.  Winter's Garden Act 4 Scene 4 “there’s Rosemary and rue: these keep Seeming and savour all winter long”     Ophelia from Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5   'There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember. And there is pansies, that's for thoughts.'    A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene 2 Oberon: I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: There sleeps Titania sometime of the night   The Lenhardt Library at the Chicago Botanic Garden hosts a Shakespeare Day on Oct. 15, featuring Botanical Shakespeare.…     Today's book recommendation  This week in 1984, the New York Times reviewed eight new gardening books and today's book selection was on that list: ''A Wild Flower Alphabet'' by Elizabeth Cameron.  A watercolorist who lives near Moray Firth in Scotland, the author composed this alphabet for her grandchildren. The delightful messages describing the flowers on each page are hand-lettered. The description says it is "just right for a rainy day" and  "a delightful picture-book".   Today's Garden Chore One of my favorite spring chores is something garden writer Barbara Pleasant (The Still Growing Podcast Episode 584) shared with me a few years ago. In one of the first warm spring rains, bring your houseplants outside for a shower. They'll return to the indoors refreshed and energized - complete with that wonderful spring rain scent.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart When I was researching Thomas Harbison, I came across some wonderful newspaper accounts of summer parties held for the staff - including the nurserymen and landscape department - at Biltmore.    Here's one from the 4th of July, 1900. The athletic sports for the employees of the Biltmore estate yesterday afternoon were greatly enjoyed, though the contestants were under a disadvantage owing to the hot weather. The result of the events and the prizes were as follows: 100 yards dash Won by T. G. Harbison, $2; 2d, Hal. Lipe, $1. Tug of war Won by landscape department team, trophy and $1 each man. Broad jump Won by A. T. Davidson, $3, 2d, T. G. Harbison, $1 Running high Jump Won by J. W. Young, $2; 2d, T. G. Harbison, $1. That was a total of $5 in winnings for Thomas Harbison.   Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Lisa Eldred Steinkopf, a.k.a. The Houseplant Guru, is on the show today and guess what we’re talking about?  Ding! Ding! Ding! You’re right! Her new book on houseplants published by Cool Springs Press called Houseplants: The Complete Guide to Choosing, Growing and Caring for Indoor Plants. One of the things I appreciated the most about Lisa’s book, is that she divided the 125 houseplants featured in her book into three helpful categories: Easy to Grow, Moderately Easy-to-Grow, and Don’t-Try-This-at-Home-It’s-A-Waste-of-Money-and-Time-and-You-Really-Need-That-New-Pair-of-Shoes. Just kidding. It’s actually just called Challenging to Grow. (Which actually doesn’t sound so bad now, does it? Still - be careful here.)   Now, guess which one we spent the most time talking about?  You’re right, again - the easy-to-grow category because that’s the sweet spot. These are the plants that are the best investment of your time and money - and the plants that will give you the most personal satisfaction.
