Rose Garden Cleanup

Final cleanup, fertilizing, and planting, ready to show off in 2023.

It only took about two hours this time and some back breaking arranging of the farm rock I use for steppingstones. Everything is looking good, just need some sunshine and rain to make it grow and look good. Some perennials didn’t do as well as expected due to the hot-cold-hot-freezing weather changes but I’m hopeful for good summer growth and probably a fall layer of leaves to protect everything. Moving the leaves out is a pain but so worth the effort.

The bell garden got the same treatment but mostly weeding and working in some Epsom salt into the soil and a good wetting. I do have to water this bed more due to the wonderful maple shade tree zapping up all the moisture but it’s working as well.
The large stone garden in the big yard is awesome this year with added butterfly bush, money plant and more delphinium.
Peony
Peonies have been beautiful and lasted a little longer with no hard rains to make them droop and lose their bloom.

I’m a happy camper!!!
