So much rain makes me so lazy. I just stay inside and miss out on the weeding and transplanting and fertilizing. Resolution: use the early evening.
Planted some salvia to complete three clumps in the front yard: bush daisies, pink vinca and blue salvia.
How to Grow Salvia
- Add a thin layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture and control weeds.
- Keep soil moist through the growing season.
- Remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
- Wait until new growth begins in early spring to remove old stems.
- Divide perennial salvias every 3 years.
Used my birthday chainsaw to attack the sea grapes.
