I’m behind on weeding, mulching, planting, staking, watering, deadheading and absolutely everything else I need to do.
Pretty weeds
I did find time to cut the fading flowers from Helleborus ‘Mrs. Betty Ranicar’.
I should have posted a blog last week, but I was gone. In fact, I posted the last blog from a hotel in Orlando where I was getting Jesse set up with an apartment and everything he needs to start at his new school. Then we met up with most of the family at Seabrook Island in South Carolina for a little vacation.
Helleborus ‘Mrs. Betty Ranicar’ looks great after her haircut.
I have been writing lots of blogs in my head while I try and catch up in the garden. First I wrote a wonderful blog about the Angel Oak tree we visited while in SC.
Dale’s having fun.
I used it as an example to tell you lots of good information, such as the only people who think you should use pruning sealer are the people selling the pruning sealer; and that a tree’s root system extends far beyond the canopy. I talked about how important it is to preserve amazing things like this tree and tied that in to the need to preserve the magnificent Smith Lake Section 16 land.

So I told you that if you want something that looks like Johnson’s Blue, but blooms MUCH longer, you should try this million bells (Calibrachoa ‘Minifamous Dark Blue’).
Then I went on to give other examples of plant this, not that.
This coral bells (Heuchera ‘Cassandra’) is nice, but…

Did you notice that the 4th Oakleaf Hydrangea has no leaves?
Add refill poison in vole control stations to the list of things I’m behind on.

Whiteflower Farm did a great job with the packing.
Finally I wrote a witty little blog about being a plant ho. I told you all about how last year Proven Winners sent a nice big box of plants and that this year they sent a similar box PLUS a box of 8 shrubs in 5 varieties that will be new in 2014. I talked about what a wonderful life I have, and I concluded by mentioning that I might begin a new blog for Alabama Gardener Magazine. I’m still waiting to hear back from Jennifer E. about what she thinks of my suggested title:
Peggy’s Picks – Tales from a Plant Ho

There. Even though I’m still behind in the garden, at least I’m caught up on my blog.
