Sally, it always surprises me the things you can leave in the ground in Zone 7. Really I don't think of your winter weather being much different than ours. Some times I think with us it is more rot from the wet ground than the cold. I haven't had any cannas overwinter in the ground for me even though I know that some do. Just unbeleivable how wet our yard is, and how long it stays wet, considering we live at the "top" of the hill.
Cat, you will have the best looking garden in the townhouse complex.
Today is pond cleaning. Ric mucked out the birdbath pond this morning we only found 5 live fish and no frogs. That %#@%$## energy efficient pond heater. We are probably going to run out and get plant tabs (water plant fertilizer) and barley straw sheets before we put it all back together. I just closed up the house it is getting hotter outside than in and I have to do a little housework still finding woodchips everywhere. LOL
This is the area where Ric removed the sod. This is rain water from last night, 3inches deep in some spots. I swear you could line a pond with the red clay we have. When you walk though the grass you squish, squish, squish.
