Spring garden notes from Birmingham cultivate hardy choices
The author reports two and a half inches of rain ending a drought, transplanting 100 dogwoods with about 70 to replace flood-washed trees, and nursery stock for the river valley. They praise Berberis Thunbergii Aurea, apply 12-12-12 to roses during rain, and note weed control success with weed and feed. A canvas bed near Grandfather Schoepfle’s chicken yard thrives amid stony soil, and Hibiscus trionum is identified as a persistent weed by Dr. George Jones. The piece ends with gardener humility in facing recurring weeds and annual hopes.
