August 30, 2019 Removing Sick or Injured Plants, Lancelot Brown or Capability, Agoston Haraszthy, Deer-Resistant Design by Karen Chapman, Installing more Paths, and the First Tulips
Now is the perfect time to play doctor in the garden.
Look for the sick or injured. Look for plants that haven't thrived, plants with disease, and plants riddled with pests.
You don't want to leave any diseased plants in your garden over the winter. If you are able to do only one fall garden chore, taking out the sick and infirm is what you want to do.
All these babies get dug up and escorted out of my garden. Generally I say that nothing green or brown leaves the property, but these are items I don't dare chop and drop, or compost - these sick plants go out.
