Rosa Alberic Barbier. This is one of my favorite roses is beautiful and fragrant, is almost always green if it is on terms satisfactory to him. It will flower from summer through fall.

Passiflora caerulea. Better known as passion flowers (there are many varieties in fact) have beautifully exotic flowers and fruits yellow birds can enjoy throughout the winter.

Honeysuckle, Lonicera henryi. Definitely my favorite if I’m forced to choose only one climber. Vigorous, semi-evergreen or deciduous, can grow to about 9 meters. Its flowers are not spectacular in both its delicate beauty and in its aroma.

Vine Vitis or coignetiae. Able to grow even 15 meters is simply stunning fall foliage, carrying shades of orange, mahogany and red! It also blooms in early to midsummer, followed by black berries with a purple flower.

Heart of Gold, Ivy Hedera. Characterized by bright pink stalks, which turn brown with age. Its leaves are dark green with irregular yellow touches in the middle. Delay in getting started, but worth it.

garden tips and infoBut contradictory to what may seem, it is usually temporary change of residence, trips … in short, not being home much time and neglecting some of our plants and garden. This is no excuse to know there is a garden in August schedule to be met. Our plants do not take vacations.

In Spain, August is a little less warm than July and the days begin to be shorter. With this, we see that the plants begin to vegetate better and some fruits like orange have a second re-sprouting.

In the garden:

It is the ideal time to harvest vegetables such as melons and watermelons.
As temperatures remain high, we can make watering basins around to help pick fruit and make better use of irrigation water.

Irrigation a few days elapsed, remove the topsoil to prevent water loss by perspiration and thus risks alienating.

Go preparing the ground for planting vegetables for the fall.

Rather than sowing, transplanting some vegetables can even as lettuce, peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes and cucumbers to accelerate their culture and get to collect them before they get cold.

We damaged branches from trees and branches to be forming as we have them in the form of glass, cane, lace, etc…

Collect those seeds and aromatic vegetables as possible for planting next year.

Tomatoes on the vine

Varieties that blight this season begin to sprout.
Drizzle with some frequency in the early hours of the day or late afternoon, but never get the plants wet at night.

Control pests such as caterpillars or diseases such as rust.

Mowing with a cut half each week to promote perspiration lawn.

If you have to replant areas, we think that time is running good, do it now.

In the garden:

If we can, “green pruning” trees, removing those branches still young but we do not like where or how they grow. This will eliminate harsh winter pruning.

Clean the dried flowers and plants to reduce emissions further promote.

Clear seasonal plants will be very sure to make the most hit, although we have to be thinking about the fall season plants.

Keep watering regularly.

Collect seeds from those plants as possible for planting next year.

In houseplants:

Continue to pay at each watering but at the recommended dose rates.
Humidity control as you will need to be increased, particularly large-leaved plants.

If we want a transplant to a slightly larger pot, we must do this month.

Preventive treatment of triple action will be sufficient to avoid pests and diseases. Watch out for mites.

If we housekeeper, make sure to leave water reserves available to plants.

On the terrace:

Continue watering almost daily.

Pests, spider mites and caterpillars are the most common.

Pay with every watering but lower recommended doses, and if these are very common … alternating irrigation with and without fertilizer.

Making the most of seasonal plants we have and start thinking about replacing over the next month by the autumn.
