Man, it sure felt good to be digging in the dirt! I cleaned out the new bed and the other long bed on the other side of the drive way. I found that Shadow of the night is nearly dead, might still live, but very iffy, then I found a couple that have lost the main rhizome, but have live increases, so they won't bloom this year, but should live to bloom another year, they are Midnight Passion, and Cotillion Gown. One of the two rhizomes of Lunch In Madrid is like that too. The other one seems OK. The older bed had no problems at all at this time. Hopefully the wet weather on the way won't affect it. That makes 7 beds down, and 4 more to go, but they are the bigger beds. It's supposed to be warm tomorrow, but really windy, so we'll see if I can clean out some more. I did poke around a bit in my biggest bed and found that I lost Well Endowed all together. There were several rhizomes of it, and they are all rotted away and soft. I think that bed will have the most losses I'm afraid.
