Plantmover,

I was actually going to throw some around the forsythias, hydrangeas, azeleas, and the flowering quince (I'm not sure if that last one is correct). I figured that since it isn't a fertilizer, it isn't going to cause the plants to begin to grow too early, but it will help the soil when it breaks down. I bought some back in the early fall. Unfortunately, when I found the alfalfa, they didn't have the pellets, just cubes. I think that pellets would be easier to work with.

I thought it was a great idea, but after I spent half hour to forty five minutes playing with the dog outside I thought it was a better idea to lay on the couch and admire my garden! This is a picture of Champ at Christmas.
