Planting

I planted a replacement Craibiodendron in the Almost Shade Garden, Nandina domestic 'Compacta' in the One Of Everything garden and moved 2 Bergenias from the Mail Box Garden to the Helipad and Tiers and the Daylily Fountain garden. I also moved Leptodermis pilosa to the Octagonal Perennial Garden and took the Dwarf Garters grass from the front in a pot and planted it behind the herm.

Planting and transplanting

Potted up the Sunny Burford Holly (because still struggling), one of the Green's Blues Camellias, the Asparagus virgatus (because the rabbits were destroying it). Planted Thalictrum Black Stockings and Golden Sword Yucca in the Blue Bird Perennial garden, Chionanthus White Knight in the Abelias and More garden, Devinely Blue Deodar Cedar in the Turret Front Garden, replacement Blackbird Euphorbia in the Octagonal Perennial Bed, Blue Velvet Hypericum in the raised bed behind the garage and Sun Glo Jasmine in the In Between Garden. Transplanted the Variegated Pink Serissa and Rosa's Blush Blueberry to the Octagonal Perennial Bed. Put the Procumbens Nana Juniper in a pot for the front.

Herbicide

Sprayed the croquet and front lawns with Atrazine. Used Amaze on the main pool lawn and halts on the part around the pool.

Herbicide

Put down pre-emerge on the bermuda.

Propagation

Potted up a number of Pardon Me Daylilies I had dug up previously. Took cuttings from Abutilon, Vitex, Leonotis, Cape Honeysuckle, Tibouchina, Ficus auric...

Spread pine straw to complete the In Between Garden, Berm, Blue Bird Perennials, and also to almost finish the Camellias, Big trees and Abelias.

I moved the Muhlenbergia lindheimeri to the Ornamental Grasses Border and planted Verbena bonariensis and 2 pieces of Salvia guaranitica Argentine Skies by the Pond Cypress where the Muhlenbergia had been. I planted Bearded Iris Love The Sun and Bayberry Candle in the Five Trees Garden along with Doug's White Iris and Red Velvet Elvis. I planted Iris Immortality in the One Of Everything garden as well as Helianthus salicifolius 'Low Down' and Login Russian Sage.
