Continued to weed the second bulb bed. Cut back the dead stems of the other Penstemon [Penstemon sp.] and some of the stems of the Threadleaf Blue Star [Amsonia hubrichtii] so that it was easier to weed near the Threadleaf Blue Star.
Continued to weed the second bulb bed. Cut back the dead stems of one of the Penstemon [Penstemon sp.] and the stems of the Threadleaf Blue Star [Amsonia hubrichtii] which was outside the support provided for the main part of the Threadleaf Blue Star.
Yesterday, took 3 bags of garden refuse to the Knox County dump.
Went over to Home Depot to purchase more mulch. They only had 4 2 ft3 bags of pine bark mini nuggets which we purchased.
Started to weed the second bulb bed.
Spread a 2 ft3 bag of pine bark mini nuggets between the Sunny Anniversary Glossy Abelia [Abelia x grandiflora] and the Coral Beauty Cotoneaster [Cotoneaster dammeri ‘Coral Beauty’] and spread another bag of pine bark mini nuggets behind the Autumn Fire Sedum [Sedum spectabile ‘Autumn Fire’ (Hylotelephium spectabile)].
The ground of the Rose bed became covered by many tiny weeds. Sharon and I spent the rest of today in the Rose bed to remove these weeds.
Spread 3 2 ft3 bags of pine bark mini-nuggets mulch around the Sunny Anniversary Glossy Abelia.
Took 3 bags of garden refuse to the Knox County dump.
Purchased 10 more bags of pine bark mini-nuggets mulch from Home Depot.
Noticed that the cold weather last night had affected the Lantana and the Coleus plants.
Took the wagon with the refuse from the pruning of the Deutzia Magician [Deutzia x hybrida ‘MAGICIEN’] and the Coral Beauty Cotoneaster [Cotoneaster dammeri ‘Coral Beauty’] and dumped the refuse in the ditch in Dave’s yard.
Since there were predictions of low temperatures in the 30’s, shut down the water into the backyard. Removed the backflow and the manifold used in distributing the water.
Weeded around the Sunny Anniversary Glossy Abelia [Abelia x grandiflora] and behind the Coral Beauty Cotoneaster.
Tied twine around 6 of the posts to provide some support of the Autumn Fire Sedum so I could walk around this plant without stepping on it.
Cleaned and weeded the original bed from the house up to and including around the Autumn Fire Sedum.
For the second day in a row, continued with weeding and spreading black mulch on the front bulb bed and it started to rain! Additional phot...
