Hi Joanie,
Best we can figure, it was last year's drought. We have/had about an acre of
mixed red and white pines we planted for the birds on a hillside behind the
garden. They were about 12 to 15 years old. If one drives around a bit here
locally you can see where pines have died and most are the larger ones. Guess
people could get out and water the smaller plantings.
A few did make it through, so we are trying to figure out the ones to save and
let fill out and the ones that come down to form the edges of the path.... soon as
we work out where the paths are to be located. We began clearing one section
yesterday.... or rather, JoAn did.
Should be a wonderful opportunity for larger perennials I have not had room
for in the my garden such as the Goat's Beard, more Cimicifuga species (Bugbane),
more Rhodies and azaleas, native shrubs with bloom and berry for the wildlife.
Should be fun......
