thank you for sharing your bloom season with us, jan. thank you for posting the lovely vistas around your home, i enjoyed "being" there with you.
happy to report that 'mayfair melody' and 'centerline'. are chugging along in my pink bed. have to ammend the bed heavily soon, and take care of the gopher holes that seem to drain away the water. i've found that if i sprinkle a commercially made garlic/castor oil granule around the perimeter of the bed, it seems to help keep them at bay. for how long i'm not sure, but. plan to sprinkle 2-3 x a year.
hope the gophers don't get use to the pellets.
