We moved in to a house about a month ago and after finally unpacking
our boxes, I have gotten around to tending the yard. The previous
owner did significant landscaping but did not leave me with any
instructions as to what was planted or how to care for it. I attempted
to use various sites to help me identify stuff, but it is a slow
process and some of the plants need urgent attention. So, I turn to
you, the members of rec.gardens to help me figure out what I have in my
beds. Some of the stuff looks like it isn't doing to well and I really
need help figuring out what it is and what I should do to save it. I
have uploaded the images (linked below). Each is about 1 MB in size
(if you can help but the size is too big, let me know). I live in
Northeast OH.
I will be checking this thread frequently if more pictures or
information is needed. If you can help identify or advise about any or
all flowers it will be appreciated.
Thank you so much!!!


I looked at a number of the files. They are mostly common shrubs and
perennials. The links are not posted right, however. You didn't leave a
break between the link and your commentary and therefore, the entire text is
shown as a link. In order to view the pictures, I had to copy the link and
past it into my browser. That's too much work for over thirty pictures. You
should repost the links and/or post the pictures at
alt.binaries.gardens.pictures.

I didn't see anything in the first 15 that needed urgent attention. The
plants are sturdy perennials. Some have already bloomed and are in a
natural decline, like the columbine. I wouldn't do anything short of
watering until you know more. Sometimes benign neglect is the best policy.
I'm in SW Ohio and my sister is in NE Ohio (Mentor). If you need any
advice, you can email me.
