The drought has mostly killed one of our Golden Rain Trees and one of our Sourwood trees is utterly dead, 2 of the 3 Burning Bushes seem mostly dead, and Poison Ivy is erupting all over the place<br /><br />This year is going to be one of pruning and hoping. And possibly replanting, though TBT says it may be a flowerbed year of dividing and spreading. The perennials that survived well are more respected and valued now. He's not sure about the shrubs. Maybe it is time to choose more native ones.<br /><br />In that regard, the Black-Eyed-Susans are fine flowers that bloom decently all Summer and there are suddenly 10 times the number of them growing all over right now. Maybe they were just waiting for a "bad year" that actually suited them quite well. It looks like the Purple Coneflowers are growing well do, though the don't seem to spread naturally like the Black-Eyed-Susans, so TBT will "divide and conquer". <br /><br />Same with the Autumn Joy Sedums. They seem unbothered by drought or rain and barely spread. TBT has 6 divided roots in pots, (some almost 2 years old) so will will empty spots with those.<br /><br />Meanwhile, we have some self-sowing annuals and some hardy perennials grown from seeds to plant. And tomatoes and other veggies. It will be a busy weekend!Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11135668126649348317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628349.post-73119003696507162582020-05-28T19:13:06.531-05:002020-05-28T19:13:06.531-05:00Your flowers are wonderful!

We try to go in as little as possible to not disturb her and now we see 4 wide open beaks if we go in.<br />The sparrow that made her nest in the garage in the wood pile must have hatched her eggs too because there is poop all over the treadmill!Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628349.post-51892961744410401132020-05-28T13:41:40.119-05:002020-05-28T13:41:40.119-05:00hay ewe gals....de bleedin heart ree minded de gur...hay ewe gals....de bleedin heart ree minded de gurl her plant hasn't even showed it self....:( <br /><br />her kneadz ta pull bak sum dirt N see what thatz all a bout...<br /><br />we hope mumz communatee gardin goez as planned later on; thoz were all wayz grate postz !! ☺☺♥♥da tabbies o trout townehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716543768517442543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628349.post-36505023498421406022020-05-28T07:20:27.834-05:002020-05-28T07:20:27.834-05:00Birdies like to nest on top of porch lights!
