Gardening Diary – August 29, 2019

 Sharon weeded the Hydrangea bed. She focused primarily on removing the Bluevine [Cyanchum laeve (sometimes called Ampelamus albidus)] which covered parts of plants in this bed. She also cut back some of the Sweet Potato Vine, Marguerite Ipomoea [Ipomoea batatas] which covered part of the Golden Ninebark [Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Luteus’].

She cut down and removed the Oakleaf Hydrangea [Hydrangea quercifolia] that was planted April 22, 2013 and started to decline last Fall.

Starting from the right corner of the Clematis bed, weeded the area between the right fence and the Hardy Bensonhurst Purple Fig [Ficus carica] which includes the Apple tree bed and Noah’s bed. Focus was on Morning Glories, tall weeds which included Pokeweeds [Phytolacca americana] and Goldenrod [Solidago sp.].
