Well the iris blooms are all gone and now it's time to get to work! Actually we have already started rebuilding the gardens -- we are tackling gardens one and two this year and finishing the fourth garden. I have started pulling plants out of the rows -- and actually doing some shipping so you may see a package from us in the next few weeks in your mailbox or on your doorstep! We are laying down compost on the beds to enrich the soil and at the same time we are adding alfalfa.
I have heard from several people this year about not having enough blooms in their garden and I would just like to let you know that this has been a rough year with all the rains and then the longer cold season. For some people the issue is merely separating the plants which should be done at least every three years and then giving them a boost with compost, alfalfa or something your local garden store might offer. We do have a special mixture that I make up here at the garden which we use in our potted plants (for local sale) that we sell for our online guests. You can find the soil for sale at http://www.oakhillgarden.com/magicsoil.html we also sell vermicompost and that is on the same page. Either one is a great option for your plants.
Did I mention the daylillies are looking fantastic!!! More on our beautiful daylillies next time!!
