Actually -- there are TWO CG forums... the other cubit is by the British Neil.
yesterday was a busy day... I came in exhausted, thinking it was about 4:30, but it was only 3pm.
I cleaned up the north bed [hostas] ... did my "slug pre-emergent" ... pulled some ferns [have WAY too any of those]
moved on to the east bed... not much to do that. Cut back my huge jackmanii clematis to where i saw growth.... and I have decided to cut it back in the Fall instead of Spring as it makes such a mess and harder to clean up when all dead and crunchy.
Put a small fence around a small 'cottagy' bed ... in hopes of keeping the neighbors dog from peeing there.... I did notice that 2 of my Purple Knockout Salvias did not survive ... as that is where he pees ... I'm just about reading to get a huge water cannon to shoot at him when he's out there.
after that... i headed way out back to deal with some weeds, then on to a newer bed, where i have my Black Knight Butterfly Bush... and as i'm digging and breaking up the soil to get the weeds out... i can hear Karen asking me why I just dont lasagna garden. [it's really good soil back there, just weedy]
I"ll be heading aback out there today... i was hoping my kid - who refuses to get a job, would be home today as i was gonna put him to work digging and turning soil in a bed that has no perennials... but it looks like he's gonna be gone for the day.
this image isn't the best as it's 2 yrs old... but this is the general area, plus to the left .. but it pretty much looks the same... the BF bush would be in the middle of this image... I'll take the camera out today.
