以花会友
虽然父母早就从农村走进城市，但农民基因很显然隔代遗传到我身上。从小我就对花花草草有浓厚的兴趣，有了自己的院子之后更是一发而不可收

（一）病虫害
首先看看是否有害虫。如果叶片粗糙干黄，那是有红蜘蛛；如果叶子出现黄点，则是介壳虫为害。防治可用70%敌百虫1000倍液或40%乐果加水2000倍喷洒。
如果是病毒引起的，则叶片发黄并会迅速蔓延成片，应及时摘除烧掉，再喷多菌灵或波尔多液加以防治。[阅读全文]

所有照片都是在我家院子里拍的。两瓶插花的原料也都来自院子里。有的照片太暗，我的摄影技术还有待提高：-）

这是我参照一个网址上的设计，稍做修改弄出来的。http://www.highcountrygardens.com/99518.html照片是两年前拍的。两张都是后院，只不过拍摄角度不同。现在长得更大了，且连成片，看上去比图上的更好看些。图中空缺地方已由类似植物填满。这种类型的花园应该是属于cottagegarden，以多年生草本植物为主。对我先生来讲，稍嫌乱了些。他喜欢整整齐齐的类型，被我嘲笑为typicalengin[阅读全文]

不过一般来说，一个院子不要多于10种植物，不然看着很乱。
可以有一两颗落叶树，1两棵长青树，另外灌木，ornamentalgrass,perennial,annual等等。
数目以1，3，5，7为好。比如1棵mediumsizetree,3shrubs,5irises,7snapdragons.小的花要多种，连成片，不然没有impact.

牡丹（Paeoniasuffruticosa,treepeony）是芍药科芍药属的落叶灌木。牡丹有木质的枝干，冬天叶子枯掉，但枝干不死，来春枝上发新叶出来。牡丹较芍药早两三个星期开花，而且花也稍大一些。牡丹可长到两米高，四月下旬至五月开花，花大而美丽。但花期不长，两三星期左右。花期虽短，花谢之后仍绿叶葱葱，值得在花园里占据一席之地。牡丹因为价格较贵，而且在我住的地方太冷[阅读全文]
