Wondering who has ordered their seeds already
Comments (52)rlembke, Yep lawn is killed. Tooks two weeks,I just have a couple of clover sprouts shooting up here and there. I've read that it is actually good to let any weed seeds, left in the soil germinate before areating or slitseeding becuase it will kill em..I agree that a dying lawn gives off a rather interesting odor. I'm thinking the longer u leave it laying there the more beneficial microbes you get and you get some free aeration. Anyway I was supposed to start my raking of the grass last weekend but I stood up in my brother in laws wedding and the whole weekend was booked. Today we are getting about a foot of rain here in Michigan so I'm thinking tomorrow I will cut it short and start raking. I would like to rent a power rake but money's tight and I still need to rent Areator and get a yard of compost :( So I'm thinking my planting will take place this coming weekend. Can't wait! I too have pictures of before and after that I plan on posting one day. Good Luck! BTW..If anyone calls Williams Lawn Seed ask for Dennis!...See MoreBlack or dark foliage/flowers plant list
Comments (35)Thank you Peren.all. You're right!!! NOW I remember. It was labeled Cimicifuga Atropurpurea. It's been driving me crazy the past few days because I am such a stickler for remembering my plants names and it kept escaping me! Thank you!...See MoreHelp!

Comments (8)Just my opinion, but I would keep the flower stalk. That rhizome will not produce another flower stalk anyway, next year's flowers will depend on the offset rhizomes & whether they are mature enough to bloom. Perhaps the mother rhizome could put more energy into their growth rather than the bloom, but I'm not convinced it would be enough to make a difference. I'm certainly no expert, it was only 3 or 4 years ago I learned that rhizomes only bloomed once....See Morequestion-newly cut branch has an inflow
Comments (1)I know that many say to remove the inflo but I have successfully rooted cuttings that arrived with a very immature inflo. The flowers really weren't that nice and many buds dropped before they opened. You will want to remove the foliage. Cut off the leaves but leave the stems. They will yellow and drop on their own. It's your call on cutting the inflo. I'd probably leave it and if the cutting is slow to root go ahead and remove it. If it's a well developed inflo with large buds I'd consider cutting it and seeing if the blooms would open in a vase. Good luck with the cuttings. Karyn...See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
