Mid June Landscape Notes

  1. no periods of extended drought, so far
  2. attempt to grow orange phlox from bagged rootings hasn't worked
  3. California poppies don't like extended and prolonged periods of rainfall (yet 3 have survived)
  4. dallis grass continues to be a problem in the front/back yards
  5. wine colored Japanese iris were a big success in the front bed
  6. need to mark Peruvian daffodils (so they can be dug-up this fall)
  7. no annuals were planted this year
  8. a few burning bushes are looking weak
  9. need to move 1 azalea bush this fall (others are spaced ok)
  10. need to make a trellis for the clematis vine in the farm bed
