There was an old Sedum who lived in a shoe....

Color is coming back to the sedum planted in Clyde Hinkle's work boots!

I can't believe my mums want to come up already. My mother always told me to keep them trimmed to four inches until the 4th of July. This would make a compact, fuller display. At this rate, I will be trimming my mums every week in May and June! Notice that the daffodils are pointed straight to the sun.

My honeysuckle pulled down its trellis last fall. All winter it rested on the ground. Yesterday Denny dug a deeper hole for the base and piled up surrounding dirt around the trellis to anchor it. And I mean A LOT of dirt! Like, even too much? There must be some guidelines on how much above the base of a plant dirt should be...will have to check this out.
Yeah! A vertical trellis again! (on a mountain of dirt)

  1. Bert, the Landscaping 106 instructor at Columbus State, said never to put soil above the crown of the plants. Oops....
