The Citrus Garden is the newest garden in the yard. Harry bought a Navel Orange and a Satsuma and put them down last May right before he left for Canada. When Hurricane Isaac came through while we were in Canada he stripped the poor Satsuma of all her leaves and really threw it around. When we returned in October Harry staked it back up and I started loving it and it's finally coming back around. Last week when I got home from the camp I planted the orange daylilies that Harry had dug up from the Azalea Garden. Since we stayed several days longer than expected the daylilies were in really bad shape between the heat and the bare roots. They seem to be responding to a litlte fertilizer, a little water and some really good old dirt.
This is the beginning of the Citrus Garden. More pics as it progresses.
The other gardens are progressing really well heading into summer. They are taking a good bit of watering in the summer heat. Here are some pics to bring you up to date.
This is a spider lily from down in Venice. They will be moving
to the Marsh Garden this fall where they can get more consistant
moisture.
Above right is a newer pic of the Citrus Garden. The containersplants are growing & the day lilies and African lilies are coming back from their shock of going a week from digging up to planting.
Some of the other day lilies and the Butterfly irises in that area have already bloomed and below are pics of those.
More pics to come later in the summer as the bed fills in. Next blog with be on teh LSU garden.
