10 Parallel Thinking not Adversarial Thinking to find the ‘Way Forward’

Important way of communicating and deciding on the way forward

Professor Edward de Bono states that there should be equal emphasis on constructive thinking, on creative thinking and on design thinking. Knowledge is not enough. Value creation needs a different sort of thinking. So, Edward de Bono’s book ‘Why so Stupid? How the human race has never really learned to think’, needs to be read not in a defensive, adversarial or critical frame of mind but in an effort to get something from it.

Poem

43 If you have a gas-fired boiler in your house there are 1 or 2 details you need to know

Some of the gas engineers who service and fit gas boilers in the homes within the South-East of England are quite happy to rip you off and leave you in an explosive situation for years.

You are more likely to get an engineer from China who would do the job properly. Although he may not read English, he/she can read diagrams and so fit a replacement boiler the correct way round and follow the diagrams on how to fit a Grundfos pump. He might also know what to do with the pipework, so that once installed you are not left with either one of 2 radiators getting hot but not both at the same time.

50 FORCED INDOOR BULBS in Window Box Gardens.

Re-use forced indoor bulbs

Once these have flowered don't throw them out. Cut off the heads (unless you want seed) then put them somewhere that the leaves can get the sun. This will feed the bulb for the next year. Once the leaves have died you can plant the bulbs outside and they will flower at the normal (unforced) time next year. The narcissus Tete-a-tete is particularly good, and provides early colour and a delicate fragrance too.
In the table within the linked page, I have listed groups of plants. I have tried to include at least 4 plants in each list as you may not be able to find all of them, although, unless you have a very large windowbox, I would recommend that you have just 3 in each box.

Perennials to accompany bulbs

Here is a list of the perennials shown by research to be the best plants to accompany various flower bulbs. The flower bulbs were tested over a period of years in several perennial borders that had been established for at least three years.

60 Gardeners who really pay attention to the bloom sequence in their spring beds have probably noticed there’s a long lull, usually in mid- to late May, between the colorful riot of spring bulbs and the launch of the first summer bloomers.

61 Before reaching for the pesticides, here are a few alternative natural, non-toxic methods of slug control

Non-toxic methods of slug control

One method is seaweed - If you have access to seaweed, it's well worth the effort to gather. Seaweed is not only a good soil amendment for the garden, it's a natural repellent for slugs.

62 On average, two gardeners a year die in the UK as a result of poisonous plants.

Poisonous plants can kill gardeners

There are poisonous plants lurking in almost every garden, dangerous to humans and animals alike. Many poisonous plants are far from obvious except to the expert. Those discussed in this blog are by no means exhaustive, but illustrate a range of concerns that should be foremost in the designer’s mind." from A garden Designer's Guide to Poisonous Plants by Oxford College of Garden Design.

65 A cold frame given over to Crocuses

Grow Crocuses in a cold frame

A cold frame given over to Crocuses is a very desirable form of luxury, and the winter-flowering and extreme Southern species can be grown thus to greater perfection - Crocus hyemalis, Crocus tournefortii, Crocus cambessedesii and Crocus cyprius need protection, and most of those that flower in November, December and January produce more perfect blossoms under cover than in the open during spells of bad weather.

66 Crocus and Colchicum (Hardcover) by Edward A. Bowles writen in 1924 is as complete about these bulbs as could be desired

Grow Crocus

The genus crocus deserves more attention than it has hitherto received in British Gardens.
Three only of its spring-flowering species have become general favourites, and there are still many good gardens in which autumnal and winter-flowering species have never been planted. Yet no other genus of hardy plants contains so many species and varieties that will flower in the open ground during the dullest months of the year.
By planting those now offered by nurserymen an unbroken succession of flowers may be obtained from mid-September until April.

74 Food for thought

Letter asking for advice in how to follow statements from the Bible in current times

The letter shows the problem with religion - it is impossible for people who have a different social grouping and a different time on this earth to follow the tenets of the people who wrote Leviticus 2000 years ago in a different society with different morals, mores and ways of life. The Old Testament for Jews was written by different people in different societies spread over a 1000 year period and their tenets do not agree with some of the ones in the New Testament written for Christians after the Old Testament.

78 Aberdeen Gardening

Profile of plants that grow well in North East Scotland

"I am Alistair and have been gardening in Aberdeen with my wife Myra for forty years. I suppose it would be quite true to say that we are rather fanatical about our garden.

Neither of us are professional gardeners, however over the years we have built up a great deal of knowledge as to how garden plants perform in the cooler climate of Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland.

My posts are to provide information to the amateur gardener. I am not infallible, however I will let you know exactly how the plants which I feature performed in this part of the country"

79 All lilies are potentially lethal to cats.

Lilies toxic to cats

As little as one leaf can kill a cat if they eat it, and any part of the plant is dangerous, including the pollen, flowers and leaves.

80 Low maintenance garden for rabbits to eat the plants.

Gardens for Rabbits

Now, if you want a low maintenance garden, where you could relax with a cup of Green Tea without the harmful effects of caffeine, whilst cavorting with your pet rabbits, then:-

• Put a rabbit proof fence round your garden, and divide your garden into 4 areas using the same rabbitproof fencing.
• Plant your garden with the plants that these rabbits like to eat and
• Rotate the rabbit hutches to each of the 4 areas as they consume that area.

81 Visitors like me like to know what the name of a plant is that they see when visiting a garden and I have come up with an idea

Provide a ringbinder showing what plants are where in a garden bed.

I visited The Salutation - The Secret Gardens of Sandwich in April 2018.
Some of the plants were labelled, some had the nursery/retailers white thin labels on and others with no label. When I suggested to the reception/ticket office staff about having the above ring-binder book idea, they suggested I talk to the gardeners. When I talked to the gardeners, they did point out that a visitor had tramped over a bed to its back, taken off a label and then asked them if they had that plant for sale. It was pointed out to me that they were very busy at maintaining and improving the garden, providing day-long courses including lunch to the public and attending Chelsea, so they would be too busy to create such a document - besides which some of the beds could be completely changed each year.
It is a shame that gardens open to the public fail to link with the education system to aid the learning for tomorrow's students, or to help the older generation in creating their own gardens.

82 Sissinghurst Castle Garden was shut due to rain. If Grass Reinforcement Plastic Mesh was used on their grass paths, then they would not have to stop the 200,000 people from walking on it.

Rain should not be an excuse to stop visitors to Sissinghurst Castle Garden

The orchard was still shut down to visitors due to the effects of rain. The daffodil season is not long. Knowing that the visitor numbers of 2 a day might do too much damage to the ryegrass in that orchard and the turf elsewhere, perhaps the National Trust could put out another appeal to bolster their miniscule budget to use Grass Reinforement Plastic Mesh on all their turfed areas - the following is one company:-

"Suregreen Ltd provide a range of GR11 and GR14 grass reinforcement plastic mesh. Plastic mesh is ideal to reinforce grass as it can be fixed to the ground, and when the grass grows, the roots and sward of the grass intertwine with the mesh filaments to create a strong, stable, protected and reinforced grass surface. Suitable for areas that get worn, rutted and become muddy by excess traffic (cars, vans, people, trucks). Suregreen off two products, a turf reinforcement mesh for occasional frequent traffic and grass reinforcement mesh for more regular and heavier traffic".
Then, providing it was a tornado with 4 inches of rain falling per hour, the visitors could either walk or swim along the draining streams to see the plants.

83 A ringbinder book to show what plants are where is required at Sissinghurst Castle Gardens for up to 200,000 of its visitors to buy and use.

Identification of plants system required for Sissinhurst Castle Garden

Now, this is a famous GARDEN with PLANTS in it that visitors come to see and you have a plant shop that sells plants grown and shown in the garden. IF you have no labels on the plants in the garden, how do you expect your visitors to know what to ask for when they do not know the name?

A possible solution is that you replace all the plant labels with a label with a bed identity followed by a plant number starting with 1.
There will also be 1 notice per bed stating the following - If a plant label is missing, then this complete section will become unavailable for visitors for a week.

A ringbinder book with 2 pages facing each other will be produced for sale to the public. The plan of a bed with the permanent planting will be on the left and the bedding or changed permanent planting will be on the right. The Book will be updated to the next version in October each year. An Appendix with the Bedding and changed permanent planting will be produced in June for buyers of the ring-binder to change the relevant pages.

88 The Urbalive Worm Composter is a kit that can be used indoors or outdoors for composting kitchen waste with the red worms. Perfect for households, classrooms or offices. Worms work best in sheltered conditions so if possible the best places to site the kit are garden shed, garage or greenhouse, or in a sheltered location near the kitchen door - if you wish to leave your Urbalive outside please cover with a Tarpaulin or similar.

Worm Composting

Instead of sending your kitchen waste to the dump, compost it and use it in your indoor or outdoor garden.

These are the 12 flower colours for Flower in Month and Bee-Pollinated Plants:-
red, pink, white, cream, mauve, purple, blue, yellow, brown, green, orange and unusual or multi-coloured.

Foliage Colour:-
I have created a Foliage Colour Wheel - All Foliage 212 - using 212 web-safe colours. My 212 web-safe colours just do not cut the mustard.
This is instead of using the best Colour Wheel of 2058 colours in the Pantone Goe System, but this link no longer connects to Pantone. So perhaps the Pantone Goe System is no longer sold or maintained.

So as from 18 January 2021, I have decided to use the 53 colours of All Flowers Colour Wheel and Rock Plant Flowers above for the flowers and the foliage in the future combined with the 14 Flower Colours for the UK Native Wildflowers Wild Flower for the UK Wildflowers. I also intend to put the required plant into the respective pages of the Plant Colour Wheel Uses Gallery.
This makes for a practical number of flower and foliage colours for use in the horticultural environment.
