We have had warm temperatures as of this week 82 degrees and today 75 degrees.
The grass is beginning to green up and when it does and is watered and fertilized it makes a lovely contrast to the flower bed and later blooming flower colors.
Used 10 10 10 granular fertilizer per each plant...and watered in lightly..
Butterfly bushes are pruned as of March lst, daylily trimmed and tidied up,
clematis pruned and new mulch put out on the entire flower bed about 3 inches
deep.
All 8 does and fawns survived hunting season and also the 2 bucks that are in the same family of deer..I have no problem with deer as I used the Repel spray on a few of the plants at the borders to keep them from eating my plants and it works.. Including my bucks photo...and his siblings and some of my flower bed below..
I have a new butterfly bush this year called Miss Ruby.
I also have 2 Miss Molly's and another one that will be
purple.
I am looking for the rudbekia that is upright and has the huge blooms
on it...Someone has those in this site ...not the annual..Let me know
what they are called if you know..
Looking forward to seeing your photos as you progress in your flower garden
or yard.
