Model Homes - Ellicott City2 to 6

ELLICOTT CITY2

Before - June 2010



After - July 2010 ( Lawn was just treated permanently for Grubs with Milky Spore but would have to wait for cooler autumn weather to be seeded to repair grub damage - see spring 2011 pics for results )






































Apr 5 2011 - My special order Texas White Redbuds finally came in






* limbed up, feathered and fertilized, these spectacular Spruces dominate the neighborhood. They look even better now with a renovated lawn treated with Milky Spore to permanently and safely eradicate grubs.







* front bed looks sparse now because I cut back and fertilized the fall installed Pocomoke ( dwarf ) Crape Myrtles, Hameln Pennisetums and Blue Ice Amsonias. They will be back with a vengeance!


* the main event mulch and new plant beds comes next week! Stay tuned

Evening Hike on the Middle Patuxent

There is no better way to photograph and learn more about native plants than hiking the nearest conservation area or nature park. * photos taken on May 18 2013 in Columbia, MD
