Lil,
Have you had your soil tested? I wouldn't
bother if I had trouble with only a few things, but you're a veteran gardener
and this new garden seems to be presenting quite the challenge. And
least pH test is warranted.

Ferns flopping face first flat. Failing fronds are frustrating.
Likely lousy Linden leaching liquid from loam. (I couldn't help it
either, but its true. Only thing that has thrived in that garden is a coleus -
the only annual in the whole garden) Lil T

perennials@hort.net Do you grow ferns? With good ferns, who needs
anemones? (sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun)

in the middle of gasping their last breath! Just not fair.

Anemones On my travels for
work, I came across this patch of which, upon closer inspection, appears to
be Anemone hupehensis. Japanese Anemone (?)
I have never seen one
bloom with such profusion! Is my ID incorrect, or is there a certain
cultivar which is particularly floriferous? I have had an unnamed
cultivar for years (east facing, behind my garage), but it has never put on
a show like this one (which has a north facing open exposure).
