Lost a clump of Montauk daisies & some ladybells....I hope that's it....the pole looks awful....extremely tall & wide....that's all you see when you look at the front of my house... The person who hit the pole may have been DUI...plus...no license!

That stinks Marilyn Can you plant a vine of some sort on it to help camouflage it?

I don't think so....it's pressure-treated wood....the height really worries me....I'm on top of a hill.... . the pole is a lovely lightning target....I'll try to get clematis to grow on the guide wire...maybe that'll improve the neon yellow paint they have on it now......

At the old place they put a yellow plastic sleeve on the guy wires .. coral honeysuckle fixed that.. Randy's mom dug her azaleas and gave them to us .. Randy was kind enough to dig the grass out of this bed for me

I've seen the poles with the yellow covers When we were n our other house we had a fire hydrant right in front and I hated it. I wanted to paint it black but found out I wasn't allowed. I covered it with a morning glory. I did it again the following summer but someone pulled it out, never knew if a neighbor did or the city There is a pole behind us but not in my yard, there was a tree in front of it for years and the neighbors had to have it cut down, looks kind of crappy now but at least it's brown

Deck is almost down and hopefully the milkweeds and tomatoes will be planted on Friday. Next year I'll try for more veggies and maybe a peach tree. We are going to cover the dirt in plastic in the fall to get rid of the last of the grass and weeds I can't pull.

Thanks for the suggestions...I need to do something when they take the old pole out....whenever that will be! Nice of Randy's Mom to donate the azaleas....hope they take....

Me too.. I hacked them back because they were bare in the middle

Good idea...someone is sending me hyacinth bean seeds to hide the telephone pole guidewire!

Keep the dog away.. think they are poisonous

OK....she only goes into the front yard on a leash, & I won't let her jump into the bed...it's raised with a rock wall around it....she loves the rock wall....lots of chippies & snakes to sniff out....I hate it it when it's dark out & she begins sniffing in the grass....I'm always afraid there will be a snake crawling around!

daylily 'pumpkin time' is in bloom. One flower last year in the drought. This year with the rain quite a few stems are appearing. it was hybridized by a friend in the '70s & will flower through Sept.

Oooh...I love DLs that bloom into Sept! I have Final Touch & one I bought in VT that flower late.....

Yup did it too

Thank you

I want to bring a coleus in a pot in, what do people use to spray for spiders before I bring it in?

How about an insecticidal soap....think they sell organic sprays at the nurseries.....be sure to spray under the leaves.....

Thanks

Besides the soap.. I will put some granular systemic in the soil.. but coming inside is the only time I use it .. will be gone by spring
