Mid October Landscape Notes

  1. going full speed with planting daffodils (150 and counting)
  2. was not able to find any $1 specials on daylilys this year
  3. will need to start fertilizing soon
  4. hoping the avg height of the burning bush bed is at least 5' next Fall
  5. sedums and burning bushes are a nice color/texture combination
  6. would like to begin installing the planned redbud tree planting area (trees need to be planted before the first frost)
  7. forsythia bed is good on numbers now, will need good Spring growth to fill-in
  8. all of the crocus in the cut flower bed need to be re-located
  9. added some early-blooming daffodils, should extend total time in bloom by 10 to 14 days
  10. Louisiana iris need to be divided
