Some June beetle damage, week of cooler temps

Got a good half inch rain Tuesday night.

Planted some liatris from UI campus. tiny seedlings.

Transplanted more mondo grass. gave one clump to Tod.

Next door house is sold. New neighbor in 30 days..

I repeat sprayed bagworm on the pine with diazinon. small stage. they move when sprayed.

Put a mum in the ground, rooted from Admissions bldg. should be perennial.

Ruminating about what to plant next to AC unit to shade it: corn, canna, butterfly bushes...

Spray clover in lawn again. Hand pulled most of coarse water grass.

Got to check with Tucker about watering in August.

One more rose bush to plant somewhere.
Need to eradicate yellow nutsedge in knock-out rose bush.

Guess what? When onions flower, you might not get a bulb. Need to plant real early in the spring AND the bulblet needs to be smaller than your baby fingernail, or so. The larger ones will likely flower and not make bulbs.
