The Master I don't know what happened to June — it seems to have been an all or nothing time. Drought, then floods, drought again seems to have set a pattern. It is a good time of year to plant perennial seeds. The results can be very rewarding. Some of last year's dahlia seeds are now grown and flowering. I'm trying shasta daisies and lupins. I had to buy the shasta seeds as most of my plants did not survive the winter. The lupins are from a pink and white plant. The prospects are endless. I use jiffy pots for these and for perennial poppies because they don't appear to like to be transplanted. June meant a constant watch on potted plants in case they dried out and keeping the seed heads nipped off is never ending. That is, of course, if you don't intend to save some seeds for your own use. I've installed a rain barrel to catch the run off from the roof. Mine is covered so that the mosquitos cannot lay eggs in it. It saved several plants which were drooping nearly to the ground. A small pail of water worked wonders. I'm trying a couple of 'Explorer' roses — tall shrub types which can be used as short climbers. The clematis are climbing as usual, one is up the cable wire to the roof, and another is on aweigela bush. Most of the rest are on the cedar (arborvitae) hedge, as they are rated early, mid- season and late. It gives a nice succession of flowers. You are welcome to visit my 'jungle", just phone first. If you have questions, write or phone Margaret Wormworth, 90 Ca ling Terrace, Wingham, Ontario NOG 2W0, 1-519-357-2252. All will be answered. dance to next year's reunion.
