Cody's Picture Thread

As some of you know, I pretty much only grow Sarracenia in outside in-ground bogs. I decided to divide all of my plants down to a manageable size and put in new peat. I finally got one bog done before I ran out of time and peat. This is my leucophylla and purpurea bed.

HOLY CRAP! So when can you come down for show & tell, dinner, and yard inspection?!?! Dinner's on us of course. We can grill something up..
 
pretty awesome dude!
 
:0o: Love it! Can't wait to see the other bogs and pics later in the season :-D
 
Snazzy lookin bog!
 
How do they survive the Michigan winter? I have tried Leucophylla, but they are always goners :(

Nice looking bogs, I am hoping to get one at least started this summer at my lakehouse :)
 
i haven't lost one over the winter in three years. this bog is about 18 inches deep and i mulch about an inch and a half with pine needles. that spot gets a lot of snow drifts, so they're pretty well insulated.
 
Okay, that helps. I mulched mine, but it was on the lakeshore, so I think the roots may have completely frozen, as the lake did. I might try again this year, then.

How do you get the mulch and stuff off? And also, have you tried loading the bog with some Live Sphagnum Moss? That's what I am hoping to do this summer :)
 
what lake? i'm by lake michigan so we get a lot of snow. i don't take the mulch off. i haven't put any sphagnum in. i didn't want to take the chance of it over whelming some of the smaller sarr divisions.

I have a lakehouse near Base Line Lake in Dexter, MI. Thanks for the help on the mulch and stuff, I just didn't know if I should take mulch off or not.

That's one heck of a yard you've got there. THINK of all the bogs you could fit in there.. haha.
