I am so excited that I can finally dig into the garden and fill it with flowers now that the border is done! I looked online at several interesting flowers; Kew Red Lavender, Clematis Romantika and the Empress Tree grabbed my attention. The empress tree had blue flowers and can grow around 5 feet every year! I love lavender of all kinds. Clematis has been calling my name ever since I saw it at my dad's house a couple of years ago.
My goal this week is to remove the top layer of old mulch, dig out any weeds and grass, level out the bed with fresh soil and remove those nasty old holly bushes! Then Saturday we can go plant shopping, come home and plant them immediately before they die.
Spring is exhausting but so rewarding at the same time.
Yes spring is tiring, all that planting but oh the results areas good as a patchwork quilt finished! I'm thinking of raising the bed around our biggest tree but not sure how it will affect the tree!
