My front garden in the spring (it's early spring here). Pics
Comments (7)Thanks, Phil and Anita. Can you believe, it's actually zone 4 here, bordering on 5 (most z5 plants will grow fine due to the heavy snow cover in the winter) but there's that much difference in the seasons! And thank you too, Ken. I think you're right. Would you be more likely to believe it's montana Aureomarginata rather than Paradigm? Somehow, I think the tags may have gotten mixed....See MoreAnother North Carolina Hosta garden in early spring and a question
Comments (15)It’s amazing how sharing thoughts with people who care about the subject matter can make a difference. All of a sudden I knew what I wanted to do. I got my sharp shovel and dug up a chunk of the crown, a cube about 6 inches on each side. I hosed the dirt off and pulled a bazillion little roots from the ivy out of the crown. Then I took it inside and worked on it with a tweezer to get every little piece of alien root off of it. After about an hour I was left with this. I soaked it in a mild bleach solution while I took an extensive shower because I’m sure some of those roots were poison ivy to which I’m very sensitive. I rinsed the crowns well and put them in some potting soil. Good luck Winter Snow, you have a nice barrel home awaiting if you survive. And by the way at one point when I was hosing off dirt I think I saw two little sclerotia (the fruiting bodies of Southern Blight) in between two roots close to the crown. So I don’t think a Hosta can be “infected” with Southern Blight. It might just be living in a contaminated bed....See MoreAn unusual early spring
Comments (7)It was a beautiful day here--in the mid 70's--and the daylilies are really jumping out of the ground. I noticed today when we were out that the magnolias are in bloom. That means in our neck of the woods that it's time for a frost. It's a rare year here when they don't get frosted. Indeed, the low for Sunday night is 30 and it gets worse later in the week when the low is predicted to be 25. I hope the daylilies are not hurt by that. I am not so afraid for the named varieties but the frosts last spring hurt the first year seedlings and we didn't get the bloom we usually do. Spring weather is always so unpredictable here!

Comments (2)Thank you Bradon, for braving those prickly, huge "briar patches"! I don't know much about species roses, and it was wonderful to see so many of them. Your daughters comments about what they smell like were a great addition to the film. Jackie...See More- 4 years agoMelissa Northern Italy zone 8 thanked Sheila z8a Rogue Valley OR
