March: Cut clematis back to about 2', cut off as many dead lilac heads as I could comfortably reach, snapped off dead stems of phlox, sedum, and peony. Weeded and cleaned up the south half of the bed until the sun went behind the house. Cut back the geranium and lambs' ears to about 6" from sidewalk, trimmed rupture wort in sidewalk expansion joints. Pruned barberry for shape. I'm still pulling out that dang decorative allium that never did much for me to begin with, curly hair or something like that, wasn't very impressive but sure regenerates itself at will. I guess I never quite get it all, I don't think it goes to seed, must just multiply like a bulb.
