Added the hose clamp, that was purchased yesterday, to seal the cut in the drip hose. Had to use pliers to tighten the clamp.

Part of the original bed that was weeded.

Minnie Pearl Phlox

[Phlox x ‘Minnie Pearl’].

Picture taken April 17, 2021

Noticed that the buds of the Minnie Pearl Phlox had black spots on them. Need to find out what this and see if there is a cure so that the Minnie Pearl Phlox will bloom this year.


<*** Added January 6, 2025: Never found out what these black spots were. The flowers bloomed perfectly. ***>
