6-5-10 SHORT HILLS: It’s hot and muggy, already AC weather. Time to go to Vermont, which we will do tomorrow. The new grass seedlings are showing up, so we have to get the dogs out of here. The past few days I have done more pruning, weeding and opening the walkways by cutting back pachysandra that grew out of the beds onto the paths. The pachysandra cutting are easy to transplant by digging shallow trenches or just holes, laying the cuttings in the hole, right side up of course, and then back filling the trench. Add water. Voila, new beds—after a year or so. I planted a bunch under the copper beech.
New blooms: more spirea, hydrangea, pheasant berry.
Rosa 'Blushing Knock Out'. The center of the older flower is brown after pollination, the newer flower has yellow stamens awaiting pollination. The petals on the older flower create a larger mass of color to attract the pollinators.
