What can you do with extra dirt?? I made a small mound of a flowerbed. Planted a hydrangea and some petunias. Some pachysandra and a little grass plant called "blue-eye". Made a stepping stone walk between the mound and another flowerbed,
Found some black-eyed susan starts, another grass plant from a container. So two more flowerbeds. The plant with the yellow blooms , that is the pachysandra. The hardiest plant I have ever come across. I bought one flat , as a ground cover 10 years ago. I think I have grown about 15 flats of it since then. Grows in sun or shade Hope all of you are enjoying summer. I am still a bit under the weather, but trying to shake it off. xo
Isn't it fun to do something new outside with things your already have to start with?
ReplyDeletePraying for you, that you feel so much better very soon. Its not fun to not feel good when the sun is out...rest while you have a chance.
I'm very impressed! That's a LOT of work - YAY for you. Loved the photos and your pairing of plants!!
ReplyDeleteGlad for the flower beds but, are you working too hard, too soon? Being sick and all...?

We always made mounds of dirt to plant our autumn pansies on. Don't work too hard. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeletedon't forget you gave some of that plant to me and now I have two flower beds full of it!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look pretty! I hope you feel better soon!

ReplyDeleteYour Petunias are the prettiest color, Susie. The garden is coming along nicely. It rained here this week! It's a rare ocassion for it to rain in a California summer.
Happy Friday.
