Aliens in Vermont.

6-27-08 VERMONT: Wow. Two days of no rain. It’s probably the beginning of a month-long drought. It was actually hot and muggy today. It felt like summer.

In addition to weeding and pruning, I bought two cotoneasters, Praecox cotoneaster, and planted them in front of the front porch to finish those beds, at least for the moment.

The water lilies seem very happy this year, in spite of being trampled by frog-hunting dogs twenty times a day. Every year, some stuff seems to have loved the winter, and other things have barely survived. Every spring it’s different. Seemingly successful perennials just vanish over the winter. Could it be aliens?

New blooms: trascantia, summer sweet, campanula, clematis, more spirea.


Don't need to be watered.
