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!

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!

Isn’t it cool???
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.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
