Landscape Notes

  • has been an extremely dry month
  • forsythia bed only lacks ~24 daffodil bulbs
  • ~40 cannas will need to be transplanted 
  • burning bush bed has a nice branch-architecture appearance
  • will consider installing the foundation for the north side planting area this Spring

done.

For the 2010 Fall planting season.
The last 16 daffodils were planted this afternoon (temp in the low 50's).
Hopefully, conditions will be adequate for this last batch to bloom 4 months from now.
While the final tally of daffodils planted this Fall is being calculated, CG believes that he is approaching 75% capacity.

Front Bed Make-over

The front bed has received a make-over with rocks imported from Eureka Springs.

CG likes the more natural appearance.

early?

CG just happened to notice these daffodil shoots yesterday.
They're located in the sidewalk bed, amongst the hostas that are still green.
(checking the dates of first daffodil shoots of years past)
