2A Daily News – Thursday, May 26, 2011 Ashworth-Waddell Community Try miniatures people&events By KATHY BRAMHALL Short on space in the garden? I recommend you try miniatures. Almost every favorite has miniature cultivars. Miniatures not only take less space, they take less mainte- nance. Think about feeding, prun- ing, protecting, and watering a miniature versus a full-size plant— all important considerations when selecting plants. Look for miniature varieties at local nurseries, if they don’t have them search catalogs or on-line. Fruit and citrus trees, as well as decorative evergreens, of all types come in miniature and dwarf vari- eties. Be sure to select varieties suited to our area. Most are suited for containers when garden space is at a premium. Shrubs—now I get to talk about roses! Remember miniature roses does not necessarily mean minia- ture shrubs—you’ll still need to prune. I have several miniature roses in containers and the most important considerations are prun- ing and regular watering. Try ‘Gourmet Popcorn’, a pretty little white with yellow "eyes". Try Brass Ring’ or ‘Coral Treasure’ both Courtesy photo Cindy Hampton of Red Bluff announces the engagement of her daughter Sarah Lacey Ashworth of Red Bluff to Andrew James “Butch”Waddell of Red Bluff.

Swimming Club Organized El Camino Ranch The management of the El Camino Rancho is concluding arrangements for the installation of a big swimming tank at the headquarters, the Elder Creek ranch, and expect to have it ready for the use of a select club of men of Red Bluff. —Daily News, May 26, 1921 California Rainbow spent the year raising Salad greens grow in compact places—try a variety. Peppers award winning miniatures. Perennials—Try tiny and tough Muscari Grape Hyacinths—the deer don’t seem to bother them. Ditto any Dwarf Iris and Narcissus. For shade try some of the new mini hostas—"Mighty Mouse’ up to 8" tall or "Fire & Ice" 8-10". For dif- ferent texture and color try Black Mondo Grass. Annuals—Violas in many varia- tions, Calibrachoa which look like tiny petunias or try common little Zinnias in dwarf varieties. There are many new Coleus, lots of color and leaf shape, stems are tender and easy to keep pinched back for com- pact plants. For extra color try some of the new Impatiens. Vegetables—all sorts of tomato varieties—in reds, orange, yellow and "black". Herbs are a nice addi- tion to any miniature collection— thyme, oregano, parsley, sage. come in all sizes—be careful of the hot ones—the rule is the smaller the hotter. Try ‘Gypsy Hybrid’ yellow, to orange to red 2 to 4" fruits. Pep- pers are attractive grown in pots on sunny porches or balconies with tomatoes. Try squash, like Straight- neck ‘Saffron’ and Patty Pan ‘Peter Pan Hybrid’, both grow on compact plants. Small gardens are no place for winter squashes or corn—sorry. There are miniature watermelons too, but the vines still take space. If you are downsizing, and/or getting older and can’t handle that huge garden anymore, don’t give up gardening—use miniatures! Have fun and try something new. We welcome anyone interested in coming to our garden club meet- ings. For more information please see our website at redbluffgarden- club.net or call 384/1913.
