This may turn into more of a gardening blog. I started some seeds by following an instructive article I found in a MHS newsletter. Article and pics to be posted later.
The front hill was off to a great start last summer when, in desperation, I sprayed the front hill with weed killer to stave off a concentrated attack by the weedpeople. It killed the weeds.....and much much more. Almost all of the plants I planted died due to the poison I sprayed. I was not happy. Or proud.
I also lost some astillbe due to the heat and drought. So this year I will try to install a drip irrigation system. Something do-it-yourself. Nothing underground. I think we will have a hot dry summer. Last summer was dry. 22.5" of per. for the year. 27" is the average.
