No landscaping for me except for grass. I had a poor garden experience this year. We had a lot of rain in the spring and about one inch of rain in August an September. I planted a kiwi plant but it began to bloom in September. It turned out to be a tomato plant. The package was mismarked for sure. I was going to cut down some plants in the front yard but it bloomed this fall. The write up about the plant says it should bloom in the spring. Go figure. I have a dwarf Japanese maple that is lost in the midst of these shrubs. I checked in with our Extension Service and it turns out that the shrub is a petulatum or Chinese Fringe plant.
