C olor all year ‘round, a play area for small kids, plenty of edibles, as well as the protection of the towering

oaks — these were the challenges of land-scape designer Betty Lee of Topiary Design, Palo Alto.

Lee’s solutions for the pie-shaped, corner lot in Crescent Park — dubbed “Cape Cod Corner” — can be viewed on the Gamble Garden Spring Tour on April 27 and 28. With a theme of “Gardens Full of Life!,” the tour will include five homes in Palo Alto, along with the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden Center itself.

At the core of this year’s theme is an em-phasis on edible gardens, Lee said. Delec-table treats appear throughout the landscape — from the Fukushu kumquat in front to the Calamondin orange tree in back.

The actual vegetable garden was set in a circle at the point of the triangular space,

with various herbs, three kinds of apple trees, a pear tree, tomatoes and sugar snap peas growing up trellises, five kinds of mint (including pineapple and apple), blueberries, strawberries, kiwi and a “gi-normous arti-choke,” Lee pointed out.

A small amount of meadow rue was added to discourage neighborhood cats from using the spot as kitty litter, she laughed.

Very little of the original landscape re-mains, other than the large oaks, wild plums and the brick walkway leading up to the front door. Lee added a modern version of a white picket fence to the front, with plantings that can be viewed from the street and from the living room and kitchen. The owners empha-sized a few key things: The yard had to be safe for the children, they wanted the plants to go with the New England feel of the house

Clockwise, from above: “Cape Cod Corner,” designed by Betty Lee of Topiary Design, Palo Alto, incorporates a modern take on the white picket fence, with plantings seen both from the street and inside the house; colorful pansies, carnations and tulips bloom just in time for the Gamble Garden Spring Tour; white clematis are also in bloom.

and they wanted easy-care plants.“They aren’t avid gardeners, but

they appreciate flowers,” Lee said, so she offered a sophisticated pal-ette of roses, penstemon, clematis, lamb’s ears and variegated-leaf iris-es in front — mostly perennials that will bloom throughout the year.

Close to the house the planting is more formal, with a variety of

white-bloomers: dogwood, lilac, roses, Shasta daisies and Japanese anemone. At the front door are a pair of whimsical urns filled with succulents — what Lee calls a “punctuation of California.”

Special care was taken to add de-composed-granite, permeable hard-scape under the oaks. On one side is a modified bocce-ball court, with a granite bench for watching.

Through a gate one continues to the main part of the landscape, which maximizes use of the corner

lot with a curved grassy area for child’s play, the vegetable garden, a re-used brick patio set in sand and a seating area off the family room/kitchen.

“This is an updated version of a traditional garden,” Lee said, point-ing to the quatrefoil-shaped ceramic planters next to the curved wicker sofa.

A high fence lined with pittospo-rum on one side and roses, hydran-geas, day lilies and red maple trees on the other screens the yard from

the street.Walking along the fence one en-

counters wire for training grapes.Under another large oak in back is

more permeable hardscape, with an eating area on one side, and a sand-box lined with stones on the other. A few oak-friendly plants such as Western ferns and flowering currant line the perimeter.

“It’s hard to plant under an oak,” Lee said, noting that it’s important not to overwater the nearby area.

Across the driveway, made of pav-ers set in sand, is a cottage that’s at-tached to the garage. The yard also features a triangle with a variegated-leaf dogwood as its focal point that contrasts with the forest-green ivy along the fence. Lee chose a French blue metal café table and chairs, which pops from the landscaping, she said.

The garden is lush with foxgloves, hydrangeas, columbines, violets and azaleas, as well as a Santa Rosa plum.

Everywhere one walks in this garden there’s a touch of color, no matter what time of year. While the bulbs are finished, there’s still plen-ty to see of the red, white and pink camellias or even the bluebells.

The corner lot has two distinct planting areas between sidewalk and streets. The wider one features chartreuse flowers, a grouping of grasses and dwarf shrub pittospo-rum, while the narrow one is full of Santa Barbara daisies that bloom 10 months of the year, Lee said. A drip irrigation system offers the little wa-

ter they need.Four other gardens will be includ-

ed on the tour, including:

I attended and spoke at the San Francisco Flower and Garden show last month and what a great show it was. My talk was on

the basics of pruning and the audience had several questions that might seem obvious but for many are not that clear.

Here are some of the questions and my an-swers. I will also give you some heads ups about what I saw at the show that is refresh-ing.

1. When is the best time to prune? When the plant needs pruning, prune it. Prune dead, dying and diseased branches any time of the year. The reason this is important is that dead, dying and diseased branches compro-mise the health and the appearance of your plants. There is no particular season that is best for being healthy or beautiful. Like us, all-year-around is the right time to give the best show.

2. Should I paint the cuts on a tree after I prune it? What arborists have learned is that the tree (or shrub) when it is cut will shrink the cells where the wound took place. In some trees like conifers and Japanese maples there may be some leaking of sap for a while but this is actually good because it flushes the

wound of spores and bac-teria that may compromise it. Leave fresh cuts to dry without painting them and they will heal better than if they have a moisture-retaining paint job allow-ing fungus and bacterial growth under the wound.

3. How do I know when to stop pruning? Make a pile of the branches and leaves you remove while pruning and when you have removed 25 to 30 percent of the plant mate-rial, it is time to stop pruning. This reduces shock and sucker growth. If it takes two or three years to get the final shape you want, don’t worry about it. You are still young, and there is plenty of time to do it over two or three years.

4. How do I sharpen my pruning shears and saw? For the most part, unless you are doing a lot of pruning you don’t need to sharpen your shears more than once a year. I use a di-amond sharpener made by Eze-lap (Eze-lap.com), but you can use a diamond nail file just as well. If you want to get persnickety about it then get a good ceramic stone to finish polish

after using the diamond sharpener. The test for a sharp shear is by cutting a leaf. If it cuts clean, stop sharpening. As for sharpening saws, I don’t bother any more. A pruning saw with Japanese-style teeth (I like Fiskars and Corona saws) doesn’t need sharpening. I have been using the same ones for 10 years and aside from bending them (not recommended) I haven’t had to do any maintenance at all.

5. What about pruning fruit trees and roses? Fruit trees and roses are pruned differently than ornamentals. This requires demonstra-tion and practice. It is not difficult, but one can really mess it up if you don’t know what you are doing.

6. I met a blacksmith who makes hand tools at the show and bought a dibble (for planting bulbs) from him. It is made out of black walnut and is a work of art. What a great line of tools. He makes trowels, culti-vating rakes, diggers, a weeder and various hand plows with turned handles and forged blades. They look rough but will last and do a good job. Check out Fisher Blacksmithing at www.FisherBlacksmithing.com.

7. What people can do with plants is truly amazing. The bonsai display was incredible at the Garden Show this year. To be able to take a small tree and keep it small all the while shaping it, trimming it, re-potting and carefully nurturing it for 10, 20, 30 or more years is truly a high art. It combines patience, craft, skill and knowledge in a living art form that can give enormous pleasure in a very

small space. I have one Japanese maple that I attempt to make beautiful each year when the leaves come out. I don’t know why it hasn’t given up on me yet (it has been more than 10 years) but the relationship continues and I am a better person for it.

8. There were more succulents used in this year’s show gardens and in the sales hall than I have ever seen before. Vertical walls of suc-culents demonstrated a painting-like effect in living, drought-tolerant and low-maintenance form and function. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues and where it will go.

9. Growing your own food is taking on new and different forms. One demonstration of hydroponic vertical gardening was presented by Gwen O’Neill. Her blog is http://gweno-neillgarden.com and has her pretty amaz-ing story of growing vegetables in a water tower.

10. Edibles are being included in land-scape design more and more. Good design makes us happy when we come home from work or when we have guests over, but there is nothing like going out into your front yard, picking a salad and serving it to your family for freshness you can seldom find in even the best restaurants.

Good gardening. Garden coach Jack McKinnon can be

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-cally entitle you to free and clear owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insur-ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort-gage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The

sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this case CA-11-487376-AB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme-diately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common desig-nation is shown, directions to the loca-tion of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the ben-eficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee's Attorney.
