You Guessed It.............More RAIN..........

Amazingly enough it is raining again this morning. I just walked outside in the drizzle after a huge rain to take a look at how "my attempt" at reverting the neighbor's water drainage off my container garden was doing..........not bad, definitely something I can live with. He hasn't said anything about the work I had done around the leiland cypress trees on the property line.

I moved the wintered rooted hydrangeas out of the well house yesterday hoping they will improve in looks outside. There is a water problem on the concrete floor of the well house where it is leaking between the floor and the concrete block wall at the back of the building. I didn't realize it was causing my containers of hydrangeas to be really wet. Hydrangeas don't care for wet feet so hopefully I've only lost a couple of them. We'll see. Speaking of hydrangeas, my original Vaughn's Lillie Oakleaf has perhaps ten or more buds on it this year. I only had a couple last year but lots of them the first year I had it (3 seasons counting this one). I think I will plant it out into the ground this year, just not sure where. I am not all that unhappy with it potted because I can move it to the well house in the winter for bud protection. It also keeps the size of the plant at bay so may just re-pot it into a larger pot this year.
