2A Daily News – Thursday, January 26, 2012 Community people&events Corning Senior Center installs board members Beware of winter dreaming By CATHY WILSON The holidays are now over and the winter chill has taken its toll on our garden beds.

We can only imag- ine how beautiful they could look in our yards.

It is so tempting to turn the pages of these catalogs and ran- domly select beautiful new speci- mens for planting in these areas. But first we must stop and re-evalu- ate our landscape. This is an impor- tant step and might save us money and aggravation later. Keeping an updated flower journal and map is the solution. It reminds us exactly of what was blooming during the previous seasons. Too many times when the warm weather finally arrives, we wonder just what we were thinking on that cold miserable day in January when we did our order. Our previous bare areas become alive in a jungle of emerging plants. Everything now looks entirely different. So instead of snuggling by a cozy fire in the winter being tempted by all the new introductions, we need to take stock of just what we have and what we you do need to check their policy to be sure. need. It is best to bundle up now and actually stroll through our gardens taking note of the "garden bones" left in the wake of the dormant sea- son. Notice the height and width of the structures, evergreens, trees and shrubs to see if they are harmonious within their spaces. What is pleas- ing to your eye and what is not. Note the bare areas and remember the perennials that are waiting to awaken again. What worked well last year and what didn't work? Transplanting a plant to another space can sometimes easily remedy the problem. Or maybe, just maybe, one of those wonderful new selec- tions in the catalogs will be perfect. Remember to check with your local nursery first before ordering, since they might have the same plant. You will pay less as you will not have to pay shipping costs. There will be some new introduc- tions, however, that are only avail- able through catalogs. Most of these catalogs guarantee their plants but Before you are overwhelmed with choices, find out what zone you live in. No matter how pretty a plant looks in a catalog, it won't survive in the wrong zone. Next you need to consider where you are going to put the plant. Will it be in the sun or shade? How tall and wide will it become? When will it bloom? It is also a good idea to test the company before placing a large order. Some companies might not pack their plants properly and they might arrive in poor condition. Oth- ers ship beautifully and are always reliable. When plants arrive always unpack them immediately. They need to be watered well and placed in a window with good light but out of direct sun for a day or two to acclimate before planting outdoors. Follow these simple instructions and you will be guaranteed success and satisfaction. Have fun shop- ping.
