SS--Jill--and Donner---

Am tagging 3 for each of you. I have a full tray of 4" pots.

I moved this plant from my YUK bed to a small, not so great, bed by my "moon" (patio light on a pole)
because in my YUK bed, the Chrys. Pacif. was growing on top of a clump of small, fragrant,
clustered daffs. of some kind. Have NO idea how that happened!
So--I dug up all the C. P. and rooted all the ends.
This plant benefits from being pinched back as its spring growth gets lush. Like all mums.
Then it will grow more compact. I did this yesterday--but the pinchings were too small to do anything with.
Tossed them all....

Gonna try to plant my Cannas today--just not sure where??????
Also--with these semi-warm days---I need to consider unloading ALL things in my shed, cleaning it out,
organizing it better and then putting everything back in. It has been at least 5 years since i did it.

As many sheds go--it is almost impossible to get to anything in there.
One of my biggest chores I antagonize over.....Suppose to rain today--so I may not get to it.
Many times this turns out to be a 2-day job. These pictures from last year.
