Fall Planting 2003

Planting a rose

Mulch

Gilbert H. Wild and Son Nursery in Sarcoxie, Missouri donated vintage peonies and daylilies to the project and plants were received in September for fall planting.  Roses were also planted and were mulched after planting for winter protection (photo right).

Due to the fact that some additional organic matter was worked in the following spring, the plants that were set in Fall 2003 were lifted a bit so their crowns remained at soil level.
