Week 7 -February 19

After major weeding and cutting back and pulling out(weeks 1-5and some 49, 50), I planted. I'm working from my list of to do and to get. I pulled the butterfly bush in the fall and gave the lemon a major pruning.
I got and planted 2 bare-root roses- an Easy Does It(week 7), and a MacCartney(week 3). Both have broken buds. (They are from Garden Valley). I pruned the older roses in week 5, and pruned the clematis in week 6. I didn't have the heart to pull out the Dainty Bess. I still need to prune the Copper Rosa Foetida.
I planted a bunch of Filoli allium drumsticks, and a bunch of lily bulbs too ( in week50 +1).

From Annies I planted 24 plants and 7 from Digging Dog.
I looked through the diaries + photos for May(Paris) which I'll try to skip.-that means Delphinium, among others.
The Bartlettina is huge. I'll let it flower, then cut 70% of it back and use that planting space for later. I'd want all of it if the blooms stayed. The buds are big.
I'm going to try some things in front under the maytens. I need to cut back their low hanging limbs.
I still have some to buy this spring and then some in june/july. About 14 plants.
I lost my new garden gloves at the SNA median planting. RATS.
There has been lots of rain. I am hoping there are things that bud out for the GPGC floral meeting in April. There are redbud trees out here, and quince, and flowering pear and crabapple.
There were 2 calla lillies, an Angelica stalk. The Summer Time Blues is still going strong, but bad in a vase. I can't seem to source the 'KentBelle' . The heliotrope is flowering. The Omphaloides is flowering.
The scilla is up, but the dafadils are just breaking ground. I pruned the Wisteria. I took a class, but did not prune the Jap. Maple. We wired up the remains of the Clematis Armondii in week 4, and it is flowering a lot this week.
I went into the abandoned yard on Mangels and cut great camellias.
When I planted, near the Easy Does It Rose, there was buried a rusted steel pole and 4 broken bricks- I'll bet they mark the sewer line, but I took them out.
