Irrigation

Had sprinklers added to the right boundary and drip in front of the turret. Also moved heads in the front right and added drip to the side of the garage. Finished on Wednesday, June 20th.

Planting and transplanting

I moved the 3 Nandinas from one diagonal of the croquet lawn to the other so that I could plant the 3 Buzz butterfly bushes on the long diagonal. I moved one Harbour Dwarf Nandina to the Camellias and More garden and potted up the other. I potted up the variegated Althea by the golf course because it was having an ant problem. I planted Siloam Double Classic Daylily, Pow Wow Wild Berry and Magnus Coneflowers in the Daylily Fountain Garden. I planted Voodoo Sedum in the One of Everything garden and Spirit Sedum in the Five Trees Garden, and Tricolor Sage in the Octagonal Perennial Garden. I planted Stella and Pardon Me Daylilies that I took out of the daylily garden in the Abelias and More garden. Also Hosta Tropical Storm in the courtyard and Geranium Rozanne under the bamboo. I moved the green crinum to the In Between Garden and planted Gaillardia Coral Spark in the Berm.

Mowing and edging

Mowed and edged all lawns - just the new path for the bermuda.

Planting and transplanting

In preparation for the drip being put in the turret front I moved the Pygmaea Thuja from the perennial bed to the front along with the Curly Red Leucothoe, and the Nana Gracilis Chamaecyparis. I put a half pot in the ground and planted the Tom Thumb Cotoneaster in it. I moved the Metallicum Japanese Painted Fern and the Ground Orchids under the Jade Snowflake. I moved the Princess Nandina to the Mail Box Garden and planted the Vintage Jade Distylium in the Hide The Hydrant bed.

Hardscaping

Set up the edges of the grass path through the golf course bermuda. Cut the edges and sprayed the rest of the bermuda with roundup. I also created a raised bed by the Rivieriorum Bamboo and made a bamboo fence to keep the bamboo plant off the path.

Transplanting

Moved the two remaining Rose Creek Abelias and the Fred's Upright Boxwood and put them around the turret. Also moved the open bottomed pot with the Russian Arborvitae.

I planted 5 new Daylilies in the Daylily Fountain Garden: Double Talk, Double Bold One, Kwanso, Orange Vols and Two To Tango and also put some fans of the last three in the Pool Lawn Border. I transplanted one of the Daisy Gardenias from the Turret to the back near the screen porch and potted up the other 3. I moved a Rose Creek Abelia to the front of the Turret. I moved the Blackcurrant Heuchera to the courtyard because it had been eaten by deer.
