Good morning and welcome to hit the dirt I'm joining in a topic put today of Bloom's sequence in the garden. But before we discuss that let me answer my mail. A Mrs. Clorinda gassy from Maine writes Dear John I need to go to my husband Belgium to gassy. There's a sudden interesting Godling. I heard him talking to his cousin's buddy to go see something about he was hoping to see a hole in the garden. So what's the big deal about a hole in the garden. Well chlorine honey it's like this. You might want to spend a little more time a Belgian a little less time in the garden. Things were right and many people come into my nursery after the Fourth of July and tell me that they have very little blooming in their gardens while planting a garden when planting a garden. You may want to look at incorporating a good bloom sequence into your plan. My garden doesn't peak until late July and August. Many of your trees like crab apples and shrubs like a mag Noyo spy Ria rhododendron and Pierrot's bloom in May and June. They contribute no flow to the summer garden but may have nice foliage or form

hydrangea flowers in the late summer with Julia often reborn in September and many shrubs like some of the viburnum have spectacular fall foliage.

The dark pink William Baffin in the mid ping John Davis an excellent repeat flowering climbing roses in the seven to nine foot range. All of these roses are hardy for here.

For late July and into September the plotted cottons the balloon flowers

There are numerous perennials that don't even bloom until after weigh b'day. The three foot sky blue or blue gown the pink shade loving turtle hugs Loney the white or white both Tony and the golden red horny I'm all of these of September and October flowering. The trick with many of these perennials is to deadhead them. No you don't have to play Jerry Garcia tunes for them deadheading is removing the spent flowers before it sets seed. This promotes reboarding and Bush in us. Not all perennials and animals do this but many will for animals I use
