A new flowerbed
Two days to empty a flowerbed and refill it (using the great new compost of course.) It was amazing to me to see how many plants came out of that over-crowded bed. I rescued a few hostas and found out how dry that bed is. I took out a patriot that I split into three and a world cup. They will find new homes in the backyard.
The irises in there had been fruitful and had multiplied (and intertwined) and there was no way to tell them apart. I just grabbed a few, trimmed them and replanted them. Time will tell!
I rescued huechera and astilbe that were struggling elsewhere. I added a few black-eyed susans. I also found the scabiosa that I have been babying for a few years.
I have a bears breeches that I broke-down and bought last year. It came up beautifully this year but no sign of a flower. That is now going to be the centerpiece of the new flowerbed. Time will tell.
Being gone almost 6 weeks during the summer with a yard like this surely takes a toll!
