I mixed up a big bucket of Malathion. and dosed the area good, letting it all soak the plants and ground. I left it for 2 days, then flushed the area with clear water. What wasn't destroyed by the borers, came back and is doing great!Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-81901296654650258802010-10-21T15:32:13.885-05:002010-10-21T15:32:13.885-05:00Your lawn edges still look so nice and crisp?

Jamie loves it so much we are prepared to accept the consequences of our action. I do wish though, we had planted it about two more feet to the right of where it is now.<br /> <br />Les, <br />Right now we just have four very small camellias and another that I dug up from my grand mother’s house. Actually I think I’ll tell you more about that one later on in a blog post. You do have a good point though; there is something to look forward to. :-)--RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-4777520529718281832010-10-20T06:26:55.595-05:002010-10-20T06:26:55.595-05:00Winding down?

Be careful of the curly willow, it will grow to be a monster quickly. We had to cut the two down that flank the knot garden, they were shading it too much. But I couldn't bear to cut the whole thing down so it resprouts about five feet up the trunk and those stems are used for arrangements. <br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-90983976905633479012010-10-19T11:57:26.406-05:002010-10-19T11:57:26.406-05:00It is as beautiful as always.

I planted 8 crape myrtles in my yard, 3/4ths from the little babies they have all the time in my yard. One I had to take somewhere else, they need lots of water to do best ( in the beginning ). Love them, thanks for the tour, GinaAntique ART Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674268803389194210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-12041220713517551482010-10-19T10:14:08.874-05:002010-10-19T10:14:08.874-05:00Ah yes, time to stop and savor these last few days...Ah yes, time to stop and savor these last few days of beauty before closing out another gardening season...looks lovely!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-87284831883768768212010-10-19T09:53:56.471-05:002010-10-19T09:53:56.471-05:00It's all so beautifully neat and tidy.

I'd suggest replanting in a different area if you're able.

I wanted some of the shorter ones that only get 3 feet and then cascade to the ground, but Jamey isn't a big fan of them. Plus, we are running out of room.--RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-46007799452448699182010-10-19T08:12:22.269-05:002010-10-19T08:12:22.269-05:00I love seeing the overall photos of your garden Ra...I love seeing the overall photos of your garden Randy. It looks so inviting and has so many interesting plants. My Crepe Myrtle is more of a shrub. I wonder if it is a different plant than what you grow. Maybe our winters keep them from forming into trees. I love the bark of those southern crepes. I shudder at the thought of iris boreres. The only way I am aware of to get rid of them is to dig up your irises and get rid of all signs of them.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
