15 Sep 2009Removed dead rhodie Frontyard gardenThe poor thing never did well, and this summer’s heat did it in. When I dug it out, the roots were all bound up, I don’t think there was any soil at all in the root ball. Either some really bad landscapers did the planting, or the last owner had no idea. I suspect the former. Most of ...25°C / 77°F

22 Aug 2009Planted Heuchera Frosted Violet Planting Out and Frontyard gardenFinally decided to plant this Heuchera next to my existing one. But that meant digging out a bunch of columbines and daylilies from that corner of the border. No big loss. Now maybe my campanula will actually thrive now that it doesn’t have so much competition.

11 Apr 2009Blooming Narcissus "Kissproof" Blooming and Frontyard gardenOnly a couple of the bulbs I put in last fall have come up, two are now blooming. Maybe the heavy snow killed them, but I’m more than a little disappointed.10°C / 50°F

11 Apr 2009Dead Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' Dying and Frontyard gardenNo longer holding out any hope that this plant survived the winter. The woody stems are all rotted and detached. I will try again, I think I have a better spot that’s further away from the strangling daylilies.10°C / 50°F

11 Apr 2009Dead Red Hot Poker 'Flamenco' Dying and Frontyard gardenI don’t think this pathetic thing managed to survive the heavy snow this winter. Oh well, it never thrived, don’t think I’ll try again.10°C / 50°F
