just curious, Lil, did your area of Ontario suffer the record high temperatures and drought we had in south central Wisconsin? I lost some shade lovers, but the Buddleia loved it!

Great idea Kitty - simple just never occurred to me to test the soil. I did replace a lot of the soil this summer, added bunch of mulch. Everything is struggling or just fading away. Lost a Jack Frost, epimediums, astilbes are down to a few leaves etc. Problem is only at the front of the house, back of the house seems ok. Guess I know what I'll be doing next week. Thanks for the suggestion. Lil Georgetown ON z5

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

Whatever it is, its stunning. Can't get them to grow
in my new garden and that really ticks me off. Have lost 4 so far, and 2 are
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).
