I did such a good job yesterday that Dave asked me to mow again today!!!! I mowed the high place!!!! This was sweet and harder than yesterdays but good learning happened!!!!
We spent a while barking the rosemary and I got covered in dirt :) After that I dug out half a bed in one of the cages so we could get ready to plant lilies in it!!!!
Dave came by to give me a break and gave me a little lecture on dahlias... this was way interesting and I liked the lecuter!!! He talked about how a dahlia is a tuberous root and you can split this root into smaller parts so you can get more plants out of it one... At Filoli they keep the tubers in bags with vermiculite and try to keep them dry... When they are putting them in the bags they have codes they write on them so they know the color, shape of blossom and size... In the spring they have started them in the greenhouse but plant them with just a little leaf showing and cover it... they continue covering it every so often till it is buried about 10 inches deep... I thought this was all really interesting and I am glad for the information!!!!!
After that I just dead headed till the day was over...
