This is just a short blog note about why roses died this winter, some large trees died, and you lost some of your perennials. Usually it is because of the spring thaw early, so they start to grow and then it gets cold. But I was told by my tree and shrub salesperson it was because of our dry fall. AND then it got really cold. So the damage was done early last year. It did help if you did spend time and water all your landscape plants and perennials. We will just have to remember that for next year if it is a dry fall, we need to make sure we water all of these.
Now it has been a hot and humid couple of days and will continue again for a week. DARN we didn't have much spring...but I hope it will be more seasonable after this week of hot and humid weather. NO fun in the greenhouse that is for sure. Got 4 fans moving the air so hopefully that helps. Drinking, drinking and drinking water....Everyone have a safe Memorial Holiday...till next time, this is Becky Litterer, Becky's Greenhouse Dougherty Iowa beckmall@netins.net
