Mid May Landscape Notes

1. was able to establish a good start of ground cover (ajuga & creeping jenny) in the side front bed
2. front yard grass is better than last year, but still too many weeds
3. debating on whether to move last large daylily in the farm bed, or, wait till the fall
4. May 9 thru May 24 is not an ideal time to be away for annual training (missing too many cool weather gardening days)
5. the river birch that was moved out of the front bed is about 75% when compared to its siblings...did some vertical fertilizing...hope it helps
6. crepe myrtles look good...anxious for more height and fullness
7. front bed lirope looks good...cut it back at just the right time (early february)
8. not sure if california poppies are worth the effort
9. would be nice if dwarf burning bushes could average 5' next spring
10. clematis growing and blooming within the azeala bush is a nice effect
