Believe it or not most made it through. I really need to cut back and train them better. One thing I haven't seen mentioned here but maybe I have missed it is, when I plant my clematis I lay at least 5 inches of the stem in the ground horizontally when I plant them. Does anyone else do that? Pirl and Etelka you really have wonderful ideas and supports for the clematis to show itself at best. I am learning alot from y'all so thanks for the threads and taking the time to help educate us. Pirl your place is so neat and beautiful. I could only wish I had a path the free of grass or weeds. I lost most of my tags in the flood so I can't always give a name. |
