Re: TB: REB: Reporting

Dear Jan, To plant yhour rebloomers  together is good advice, I think.  I am 
also a water conservationist,  but I also want to conserve my plants!  
(Incidently, when there is a water crunch here and rationing goes into 
effect, shrub and trees, especially trees, that have been planted less than 5 
years are exempt frp, the ban and may be watered.
Now to get back to rebloomers:  Years ago, I found it was more economical 
from a water standpoint, but also saved a lot of time and effort to plant 
rebloomers together and have a soaker hose - a hose that is laid out between 
the rows, plants,  etc and has holes that seep the water into the ground so 
it isn't wasted in midair as a sprinkler.  Thus it avoids watering the oncers 
that don't need the excess and I trust to God to water them.  I also use the 
soaker hose for siberians (which I plant with/near/among) the rebloomers  and 
also for Japanese which are planted apart from everything else.  The frist 
time I grouped the rebloomers together I was struck with the fact they 
bloomed a week earlier than the  others, and the effect was fantastic!  Then 
a week or ten days AFTER they were over, the oncers began and the rebloomers 
looked like disaster had struck!  It was amazing!  But it gives you a chance 
to clear up that part of the garden while enjoying the others.  "Try it, 
you';ll like it"        Rosalie nr Baltimore,USA  zone 7, altho sometimes I
