You may tbink tbey are expensive, but wben you think how long you can have tbem witb the right cane they are cheap in the long run. You also sbould have Junipers for winter color. Firsi thing is mulch for better plants and also holds waîer better. Make sure soil is well fertilized in spring. Best Lime to water perennial garden is in early mornîng. A good soaking, and' weeding is very important, once a week will keep the-weeds under control. They also need light so don't be afraid to prune and pincb back. If you cut back Delphiniums before tbey start to seed, tbey will keep on blooming. Also dividing perennials helps. scoti and Jon have introduced some new perennials and annuals thîs yzar. Velvet and Lace Dianthus, Purpie Palace Lace Heuchera, Perennial Poppy double red with white blotches. Purpie ruffled Basil an Annual, and Melampadiam, a star sbaped flower, yellow with orange centres (French Lennia) a flower continuous bloom firom June until fail.

To get this information, further studies are being undertaken. Drillng rigs will commence work at the site around the middle of March. Nineteen boreholes will be drilled at different parts, of the site to: * determine if the information from earlier studies is correct; * ensure the information is complete; * obtain more up-to-date detail about the waste buried there;- * determine whether or not contamination from the waste has moved - Up, down, or sideways; * locate any movemnent of contamination through the ground water. Some of the boreholes will continue to be mo nitored to track the ground water as well as any future movement taking place and affecting the land around the site. These will also help to see how effective the dlean-up is when finished. The information gathered from these studies will be available to the public.
