TIme to recap the last week in my Garden. We've been in another dry spell, although not as hot as it was during last month's - which most of the plants are taking very well. Anyway, I've bookmarked Home Depot as the clearance hydrangea capital of the world for the last week of June, as they had palletsful of very nice "public domain" specimens at 50% off! Adding to my collection is now a 2nd 10-gal David Ramsey, which was $20 and had at least 10 new blooms ready to flush out on new wood. Also I added my first Hydrangea serrata, Grayswood, which has uniquely rosy leaves and is a lacecap for my patio entrance (shade area). I also picked up a Black Knight butterfly bush, which fit nicely along my west fence border. The only major work I did to fit these in was moving my dwarf Rhodies from the patio entrance (where they weren't doing well at all) to my back hillside in between the regular Rhodies. I then put my Forever & Ever lacecap and the Grayswood in those open places, while moving the Forever & Ever Fantasia where the lacecap was, since it can take more sun than most.
