My garden fail!by Tara Nolan |
A couple of weeks ago, I enthusiastically gave the flowers I planted in my garden this year almost straight A’s in a little gardening report card. This was not only a fun exercise to reflect on the season, it will also help me remember what to consider for next year. Sadly, I have a garden ‘fail’ to add. I was very excited about finding some mid-sized cedars this spring to go along my back fence. For some reason one of them completely died on me… I’m still not sure what I did wrong. But next year, whatever I choose to plant in its place will be coddled and very well taken care of.

Dig it and examine the roots. There may be clues in the planting hole as to what happened.
That’s great advice, thank you!
If the root still Okay keep watering dont let the soil dry until it survive maybe dont have enough water Cedar needs lots of water.
We had an evergreen in our front yard that just died as well - we never did figure out what the problem was. Sometimes these things just happen, I guess.
