Noah and I took down the Halloween decorations (September 22, 2021) in the front lawn and transported the 3 straw bales and pots containing the Chrysanthemums to the backyard. There were some leaves and flowers on these Chrysanthemums; so, we shall plant them in the garden to see if they will continue to grow.
The 4 pumpkins were placed in the compost bin.
Planted 44 Darwin hybrid Tulips [Tulipa sp. (Darwin Hybrid Tulip)] starting on the right side of Southern Living Arborvitae O. Pancake [Thuja Concesarini PP24013] and finished a couple of feet from the black fence. Again, used a hand drill with a special bit to dig the holes in the ground in which to place the bulbs.
The Tulips were obtained from Breck’s.
Installed a vinyl fence panel in front of the front fence next to a previously installed vinyl fence panel. The panel was used originally in the Lenten rose bed to hide a trash can.
Weeded the part of the right garden bed from the black fence to its frontend.
Planted 16 Darwin hybrid Tulips [Tulipa sp. (Darwin Hybrid Tulip)] starting at the frontend of the right fence bed. Used a hand drill with a special bit to dig the holes in the ground in which to place the bulbs.
The Tulips were obtained from Breck’s.
Completed weeding of the walkway which is on the right side of the 2nd bulb bed.
Set up new supports for the Threadleaf Blue Star [Amsonia hubrichtii] which will replace the white fencing shown above.
Noticed that there were many blooms on the tall standing branch of the Ackerman Hybrid Camellia [Camilla Ackerman Hybrid].
Finished weeding of the 2nd bulb bed and proceeded to start weeding the walkway on the right side of the latter bed.
Planted 2 Grateful Red Bearded Irises in a pot and placed the pot on the porch. American Iris Society [1] indicated that Irises should be planted in July, August or September. They recommend
It is important that the roots of newly planted irises be well established before the end of the growing season. Plant your iris at least four to six weeks before your first hard freeze or killing frost.
The 2 Grateful Red Bearded Irises is a Christmas present from LoriAnne and Michael. They were purchased from an Etsy seller.
Continued weeding the second bulb bed; Sharon helped with the weeding.
To make the weeding easier, decided to cut almost to the ground the leaves of the Ground Orchids [Bletilla striata ‘Alba’].
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...
