greendougherty Blog – Dougherty Garden Main Directory

Everything (Dougherty Garden, Yorkville, Life in the U.S. Marines, Oldies (Doo Wop) Music, etc.) is under the greendougherty name and each will have a separate directory under each category. This one will help me out to control all the activity in the Dougherty Garden. Until I get another web site, this will give me a place to control all the activity in the Dougherty Garden with pictures and blogs over the years.

Dougherty Garden – Today in the Garden – Using Grass Runners for Bare Spots – May 23, 2016

Dougherty Garden – Today in the Garden – Using Grass Runners for Bare Spots

Every once in a while I’ll get a chance to do a little grass maintenance and in the process I’ll obtains several grass runners that I use for re sodding an area of the Dougherty Garden grass areas that has dried out. the following is the first step in the process after I have removed several grass runners form an area of the Dougherty garden where I have a small camp fire. It is presently over grown with dollar weeds and grass runners that have run past my edging material.

The top portion of this picture shows the grass area that needs to still be trimmed.

Campfire area where the grass runners were removed form earlier

Typical Grass Runner taken from the campfire area.

Grass Runner cut into small sections and the cutting tool that I used to cut the Grass Runners from

As I cut the grass runner into small pieces I place them in a plastic pot and add water and some liquid fertilizer.

Plastic pail use for soaking the grass runners after I have cut them into small section for later use in bare spot in the Dougherty Garden

A small section of the grass runner that I typically cut into small sections. Note the healthy root system on these runners.

Grass Runner with new grass leaf rowing along the length of the runner with grass leaves cut short and the roots cut back so that I can cut individual grass plants for use in re sodding.

A typical Dollar weeds with its signature round green leaf and a white runner root.

Dollar weeds that were pulled out at the same time I was cutting away all the grass runners near the campfire area.

This dark looking fluid is my pail of liquid fertilizer that is always available for handy application for new plants and projects.

All the necessary garden tools are available in short notice with my handy small pail and seat

In the Dougherty garden I spend a lot of time near the ground when I do grass maintenance and weed pulling. I use the a small plastic container for a seat and my tools.

Washingtonia robusta palm tree dried out inflorence that was blown off by the winds today. The approximate length from the base where it broke of to the tip of the inflorence is about 10 to 12 feet.

The Dougherty Garden on September 22, 2014 – Today in the Garden

It was a bit windy and stormy in the Dougherty Garden today.  here are some of the items that caught my attention with my camera.

02 Reclinata Palm Seedling

This is a Reclinbata Palm Seed that I obtaijned from a series of Reclinata Palm Trees that were in my driving area. I pulled into the area of the Areca Palm Trees and collected a few palm seeds. These Reclinata Palm Seeds are oblong in shape and were littered below the Reclinata Palm Trees.

02 Clustering Reclinata Palm Tree

This is the cluster of the Reclinata Palm Tree that caught my attention while driving by. It was with the stop because some of the fresh seeds were already beginning to drop from the bracts on the palm tree.

02 Clustering Reclinata Palm Tree

As you can see from the above picture, there are numerous clusters of seed bracts on this Reclinata Palm Tree. I’ll visit the site again yo  to collect more seeds as more fall from the Reclinata Palm Tree.

11 Areca Seedling

This is a small Areca Palm Tree seedling that caught my attention while I was gathering Areca Palm Tree seeds. It was just setting out roots and getting comfortable. I put this seed into a larger plastic pot to follow the length of time it takes to germinate. I’m betting on 30 days because of this particular seed germination period. We’ll see. A closer look at the Areca palm seed that put out two roots.

Pot of Areca palm Seeds

The pot of Areca Palm Tree Seeds with my old seedling that just put out roots in the middle of the pot of Areca Palm Tree Seeds.

Dancing Ladies Seed Pods

These are the Dancing Ladies Seed Pods many days after the flowers have bloomed. I’m waiting to see if these pods dry out and drop the small seeds inside. I want to see if I can capture the moment on one of the pods to see if I can get a dancing Lady to germinate in a pot.

Donkey Ears

This is another version of the Sanseria plant called “Donkey Ears”. I’ve been looking at this plant for the last few weeks and knew something had happened but didn’t tale a closer look. I finally picked it up and placed it on the recycle bins and noticed that a new shoot  had emerged from from the base of the plant.

White Orchid

This is my White Orchid which is one of the plants in the Dougherty Garden that keeps on giving. I receive it as a gift from a local friend with another Purpole Orchid. I place both of them on a palm tree that has since died and now have to find a new location for these orchids to continue giving off beautiful bools.

That covers what I discovered in the Dougherty Garden today.

Enjoying growing green,

Marty Dougherty #greendougherty
