CG has noticed several 'way too early' daffodils pushing-up. With some consistent cold weather and an extra layer of protective mulch, all should be well.

Mid December Landscape Notes

1. weather has been very mild with above average rainfall
2. began pruning burning bushes
3. will have a good amount of 'canna mulch' ready for the planting beds
4. still need to transplant the crocus
5. the semi-dormant dallis grass is easier to pull-up this time of year (beginning early Nov.) after a soaking rain
6. azaleas that were moved to the farm bed are doing well
7. did not do any fertilizing this Fall
8. had at least 2 small bag worm infestations in the river birch trees
9. nandina bushes are about 80% filled-in as a naturalized mass planting
10. pondering whether or not to attempt the Calif. poppies from seeds again
