The new growth on my three boxwoods was awfully yellow. I gave them the Iron and epsom treatments. The Eumonymuses looked awfully white,, so I gave it to them too. Hope I can get to the sulphur tomorrow. If we get another 5 or 6 days of rain, everything will just get worse.

I have a lot of iris foliage to start cutting and pulling away. Don't want those rhizomes to rot. All of that Gaillardia and Aster foliage has got to go too. There is a lot of work to do. Spent most of the day today at the office. Was only outside for an hour and there was frost out front. Maybe tomorrow I can get 2 hours outside. All of my roses need pruning. The ground was more solid today as it was colder. It was pretty windy too.

Lilac today. This one didn't bloom last year, so I gave it a bunch of lime.
