Seeking respite from their frenzied life in New York, Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez found the ideal escape: a charmingly rustic house and gardens buried deep in the Massachusetts countryside. Hamish Bowles ventures north.
Jack Frost grows leaves that are perfectly rounded and can easily be seen while facing up and out. The leaves are the perfect background for the brilliantly bright blue flowers that will grow in early spring. Jack Frost will grow between 12 and 15 inches tall and approximately 18 inches wide in a garden that is partially shaded. The plant appears plump due to how dense it is. Each plant should be planted between 18 and 24 inches apart in order to give them the space they need. It is a hearty plant that is able to tolerate cold snaps and soil that is poorly fertilized, but it does prefer soil that is acidic. This plant is a part of the Brunnera family which looks great when planted some of the staples of a shade garden, such as ferns, hostas, hellebores, and pulmonarias. No matter what type of plants you decide to plant in your shade garden, Jack Frost will compliment them.

I am linking up again with Teaching With Nancy's weekly linky - TGIF - Thank Goodness It's Free! Be sure to head over to her blog to pick up some more free stuff! We are finishing up our unit on plants and here are the greenhouses that we made. I have seen similar designs on Pinterest and decided to create one that we could use. Let me pause here to say - SEEDS ARE AMAZING! I forgot to buy bean seeds and remembered that I had pinto beans in my sensory bins! So I just grabbed some from the bins!!! And they grew!!! AMAZING! And did you know that you can use dry bean soup mix from the store to sprout? Here are the seeds on Day 1. And on Day 11. I love planting in plastic bags, because we are able to see all the plant parts! You can grab the Greenhouse pattern and directions below!

Este nuevo tejido empezó cómo una aventura, te confieso que es la primera vez que tejo algo con esta técnica, hacia tiempo que quería experimentarla. Me reservé esta idea para unas vacaciones de hace unos meses. Y decidí empezar esta tarea en un vuelo de 3 horas. Cuando me dispuse a tejer me encontré con que no tenía bien en claro cómo tejer, pensé que lo iba a tejer con la técnica de Tapestry pero al ser un tejido recto, me dificultaba el tema de llevar (por dentro) los hilos, ir y venir ya que en tejido recto, tejemos una vez del derecho y otra vez del revés, peeeero el dibujo debía quedar perfecto en ambos lados. El avión despegó, yo abrí mi bolsa de labores y me dispuse a ver qué hacía, lo único que sabia es que cada cuadrado representaba un medio punto jajaja. Cuando empecé a tejer tuve algunas complicaciones con los hilos, pués tenía solo 3 ovillos, y me di cuenta que si llevaba por dentro todos los hilos (como en la técnica de Tapestry) no me alcanzaría la cantidad de hilo de algodón que tenía, jajaj un detallito, además era raro porque cada cambio de color me quedaba desprolijo. En fin hice unos inventos y mezclé (sin saber!!) la técnica de Tapestry (llevando unos hilos por dentro de cada punto) y la técnica de Intarsia (término que lo descubrí hace poco) consiste en usar un ovillo por cada color (en este caso en el color terracota lo que hice fue sacar la hebra de adentro del ovillo y la de afuera, simulaba tener 2 ovillos, pero fue medio caos, no lo recomiendo. Lo mejor es tener ovillos separados. Me la rebusqué y pude ir logrando el dibujo. Este dibujo tipo pixel que tejí lo encontré en Pinterest y es un patrón gratis de @braceletbook en su cuenta comparten muchísimos otros patrones que podemos usar para tejer! Cuando termine la pieza, inmediatamente me la imagine cómo un sobre o un neceser, así que eso hice, y ahora lo uso para todo! Este no es un paso a paso para hacer el neceser, te comparto mi experiencia, y filmé un video para enseñarte cómo logré tejer. Con esta pieza rectangular que vas a lograr podés armar lo que quieras. En este video anti-tutorial te enseño como fuí tejiendo y formando esta estampa: Tips para tejer este proyecto: Imprimir el patrón, tener a mano un marcador o lápiz, para ir marcando los puntos y filas que vas tejiendo. También tijera, marcador de punto y aguja lanera para esconder algún hilo suelto. Usar una aguja pequeña para que la trama quede bien cerrada,yo usé 4,5 mm pero podes usar un número más pequeño, debe quedar una trama cerrada. Elegir 3 colores de hilados, pero tener 2 ovillos del color del centro de las flores. Comenzar tejiendo las cadenas de base siempre con el hilado de color según el color del primer punto del patrón, en este caso celeste vintage. Para tejer el fondo y pétalos de la flor ir llevando los hilos a medida que vas tejiendo los medios puntos. Los cambios de color se realizan en el último punto del color, y se completa este punto con el color nuevo. Cuando un color no lo vas a necesitar hasta la próxima fila, lo pasas hacia adelante (cómo explico en el video). ¿Qué proyectos podés hacer con esta técnica? Tejer piezas que después se conviertan en objetos como: Un neceser Un sobre. Una funda para el cuaderno. Almohadón. Tapiz de pared. Cuadro tejido decorativo. Individuales Camino de mesa Espero que te diviertas tanto como yo tejiendo esta técnica, que aprendas mucho y lo uses para crear nuevos proyectos! ¡Gracias crochetes! Feliz crocheteo! Si te interesa este tipo de contenido, te gustaría que comparta más tutoriales cómo este y apoyar mi trabajo, podes invitarme un ovillo para que pueda seguir creando (es como una propina o un cafecito). Si sos de Argentina podés invitarme un cafecito aquí Si sos de otro país y queres apoyar mi trabajo te comparto mi link de Paypal para que me invites un ovillo y así poder seguir creando.
Salsa verde, green chiles, leftover rotisserie chicken and Monterey Jack cheese make for the best weeknight enchiladas ever!
Whew, this time of year is sheer madness, garden designs and installs, interior designs and installs, equals one tired gal! Thankfully the shop is in the best of hands with the best of staff. One bit I am focusing on constantly when adding plantings into the designs is my clear focus on foliage shape and color, the two most important elements to an interesting landscape, with impact. It is how to extend a colorful garden Gorgeous? YES! But.....what happens when those flowers are gone? Sure there may be some flowers to follow however it could have season long impact. In this case all green, smallish leaves = b-o-r-i-n-g Same here. It is easy to create a lovely garden in mid-summer, it is the remainder of the year that is important too Uniquely attractive, in a subtle way. Today however it is all about impact created with diverse foliage POW! YES! Virtually few perennials, massive interest with diversity of colored foliage and varying leaf shapes GROUND COVERS Lamium 'White Nancy', sparkles in the evening Ajuga 'Bronze Beauty' with the added bonus of blue flowering spikes in Spring Lysimachia 'Aurea' ORNAMENTAL GRASSES Miscanthus 'Zebra Grass' Festuca 'Elijah Blue; Miscanthus 'Purpurascens ' For shade, 'Hakonechloa 'All Gold' HERBS Purple Sage Purple Basil Variegated Thyme 'Lemon' ANNUALS Caladium 'Ansel Adams'........to die for! Caladium 'Gingerland' Coleus 'Watermelon' Helichrysium 'Icicles' Ornamental Cabbage FERNS Japanese Painted fern HOSTAS Hadspen Blue June 'Coast to Coast' 'Fire and Ice' PERENNIALS Heuchera's......In every imaginable color, well, almost Geranium 'Espresso' Brownish foliage with delicate pink flowers that blooms from late April to late September. I like to underplant it with the ground cover Lysimachia 'Aurea', shown above. This is a real POP, as this beauty can fade into the mulch. You do mulch don't you? Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' Brunnera 'Jack Frost' Actea 'Black Negligee'. Tall with architectural foliage blooms in late Autumn with bottle brush spikes laced with the scent of vanilla Stachys 'Big Ears' VINES Hello Gorgeous! Clematis 'Stolwijk' Hardy Kiwi Vine Only the MALE has this coloration Climbing Hydrangea 'Firefly' SHRUBS Physocarpus 'Amber Jubilee' This is year round, not just Autumn! Pittosporum 'Irene Paterson' Sambucus 'Plumosa Aurea' Fothergilla 'Blue Mist' CONIFERS Again, not a flower in sight False Cypress 'Gold dwarf' Abies 'Silberlocke' TREES Pyrus 'Silver Frost' Cercis 'Forest Pansy' Yes, a burgundy leafed Redbud! White Birch Cornus 'Golden Shadows' And........that is just for starters! Now, how to combine these plants in your borders. This is where the leaf shape takes center stage. The best neighbors are opposites; thick leaf next to thin leaves More of the above Thick and thin Something else to note......if you have a bed that appears to be messy, the cause is often too many small leaves. Large leaves lend order. Imagine if the above tropical was not there, there would be no focal point and the Verbena would appear medowish Let's take a look at great examples of this conversation Hope you found some inspiration, I love this topic! Thank you for reading...... Debra
