Gardening Diary – February 6, 2023

 With warm weather for the few days of the week, we went out to work in the garden. I took the wagon, that was filled up back in last November, over to Dave’s gulley and emptied the limbs from our pruning.

Then Sharon and I partially cleaned up the back patio. Took 2 large bags, wood from some shelves, and a water ??? over to the Knox county dump.

Took a picture of the Sango Kaku Japanese Green Maple [Acer palmatum ‘Sango kaku’], which we planted in 2022, and posted to our blog on Facebook as an example of a plant that provides color during the winter months.

Daffodils are starting to break the ground in both the Daffodil bed and the front bulb bed:

Noticed that the “deep freeze” that we experienced in December had taken a toll on 3 evergreen plants:
