Just a few dried up brown twigs remain of this beautiful plant a casualty of the winter.
Also the small Crimson Maple below. A gift several years ago for Mothers Day from Fred. Oh well my thumb can't be green all the time. There is always something new to plant and try. It's all a game of trial and error. Sometimes it's just more error and indeed Mother nature can be cruel sometimes.
Also on the casualty list are my tame gooseberry bushes. The kids shall miss gooseberry pies. I think I will replant them in another location maybe near a structure for a littl protection from the harsh wind.
Anyone else lose anything this year?

Can you take a cutting and try to root it? I had to do this to a plant my Grandmother brought back from Europe in 1930. One way of keeping something special a live.
ReplyDeleteI have a brown thumb, so I often lose things. We transplanted some Spider Lilies from Louisiana to North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteI looked at them yesterday, first chance since we got back, and out of the 4 or 5 plants I transplanted, only 2 leaves of one remain. And it is dying.
But they grow from roots, so we shall see if they are really dead, or might come back in the fall, since it's more of a fall plant.
