GARDENING WORDS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Gardeners have a vocabulary all their own. Would anyone else besides a gardener understand what "dress with dried blood to accelerate" means? It's not a line from a teenage horror flick - just a suggestion of how to make a peony grow faster, taken from an old gardening book.
As an aid to better gardening communication, here is a list of gardening words you might hear - plus a sentence in which you can use it. (Thanks to Pike Nursery for allowing the use of this list.)
- Inch of water
- A measurement of how much water falls into a container; plants need approximately one inch of water per week
"Ronnie, put out a couple of soup cans in the lawn to make sure the sprinkler applies an inch of water before you shut it off!"
