Subject: RE: BS: Winter in the Garden (keeping busy)
Well, here in Bobert's 5 acres of Wes Ginny almost heaven it has been a beutiful fall and unseasonably warm with tempd in the 50's (40's next week). We've only had two hard frosts which is unusaul for this time of year.
All or camillia's are in their cylindrical tents made from wire fence and white microfoam for the winter so we will have flowers in the spring. The heeling bed if full with a lyer of straw and leaf muclh over it for plants that will get perminent planting next spring. The basement is full of stuff, including about 100 azalea rootings, that are under flourescent lights and not yet ready to slug it out with their first winters...
So things are pretty much put to bed, no pun intended... After the hoilday season, it will be back to planning for spring...
BTW, out oak leak hydranga has the the deepest matoon leaves that anyone could imagine... I can see that when it gets older that I'll be doing some selective cuttings on it for Christmas decorating...
BTW, Part 2..... Those folks who asked for hyacinth beans should be getting them this week... I just did the envelopes this evenin' and will put in the mail on Monday...
