The weather has been incredibly warm and it is all I can do to resist doing any major clean-up or planting. It’s still February after all. The forecast is clear and unseasonably warm up until Thursday and then the cooler temperatures and rains come back.
Frankly, I am glad there is rain in the forecast because the plants all need the water. It is time to prune and the yellow twig dogwood are first on my list. I’ve also decided to remove the vinca by the front of the house and replace it with a combination of black mondo grass and some sort of dwarf yellow juniper or threadleaf cypress. Mature height is always an issue because of the low basement windows. This will transition into greeen/yellows/blues in my fern garden/deep shade.
The moss is doing fine, as usual. At least I don’t fight it any more.
