Saving Private Garden

Tuesday, October 18, 2005

The mission to save my plants from severe-chilly-weather has been accomplished two days ago. Now all my babies, as what I call them, feel undoubtedly secure, warm and safe inside the house. Most of them are herbs which I can make use of them any time I need for my cooking. I wish I could bring all my plants indoors, unfortunately we have no space enough to put them up concerning we live in a little house.

Sure, some of my flowers outdoors are able to survive and resist through the severe-cold-weather, particularly in snowy winter time. Mine for instance: any color of rose bushes, azalea, forsythia, holly tree, rhododendron, and camellia. In the Fall, the green leaves usually change color and then fall off. The less sunlight is definitely the reason behind this process because the green plants cannot photosynthesize and make their food. The cold temperatures of winter slow them lives down and stops their growth. The bare trees turn to have buds, sort of a miniature branches look alike, that may bear leaves or flowers. These buds produce most of the foliage of trees and are seemly packed away the leaves and the flowers as the tree's hopes for the future. Of course, the process is quite different with perennials and annual plants that usually die above the grounds. Some of them do survive the winter season and start to grow again in the Spring, but I'd rather protect them indoor than to expect them growing back randomly.
