Garden Bed As It Is Now

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Here are the plants that’ll be left in place:

A load of mulch will be delivered next week.  I have dirt in the compost that will be worked in.  It should be beautiful this spring and summer!

Planning A New Garden Bed

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Well, the garden bed isn’t new, but it’s newly emptied and ready to be re-planned and planted!  I am so excited about this!  :D

Isn’t it cool???  8)

It is a clean slate, with the exception of a few things that I’ll leave.  There are lillies in this bed that have not come fully through the ground yet.  There’s a small nandina that I’ll keep; two have already been pulled out.  There’s a small rose that I might keep.  The rue will be cut back.  The lamb’s ear will be thinned and the pinks might be thinned.

I spent some time out just walking around some stores today looking at plants.  I could not really grocery shop since I have orders to not lift anything, but I did get three boxes of plant bulbs/roots.  They are light!  :)

 

And I got a couple of new gardening magazines.

I think the hollyhocks would be nice at the back of the bed with another not-as-tall plant right in front of it.  I love hollyhocks!

I am about to sit down and read my new gardening magazines.  And write out my plans in my gardening journal with our new Prang pencils.
