Mid February Landscape Notes


  1. should have divided more iris last fall

  2. iris that were divided have multiple new shoots coming-up

  3. thinking it would have been ok to fertilize the 'new born' forsythia last fall (fertilized the mature plants after they dropped leaves)

  4. had more wild temperature swings -highs ranging from the 40's to the 70's

  5. will have plenty of cannas (50+) to trade and/or giveaway

  6. crepe myrtle pruning completed this month

  7. low-growing crepe myrtles have spread-out nicely

  8. finally had some good rain last week

  9. burning bush bed looks good, has been low maintenance

  10. decided to remove all of the cannas from the cut flower bed
