New Homeowner Needs Urgent Garden HELP!!
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!!! 1.

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. |

Vox - thanks for the reply. I'm not sure about the link issue you are
having; in my browser, I can click the links and see the image - no cutting and pasting required. As for the plants you did look at, please at least ID the ones you recognized. Aside from IDs, I have questions about the condition (included in the original post) for #s: 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 21, 23, 25, 31, 33 and 34. thanks for your help!! |

FWIW I couldn't see them without finagling the links either. -- Toni South Florida USA Zone 10b http://ww.cearbhaill.com |
