I was going to wait until all the work was done to take pictures and post about it, but well I'm just too excited about what's in store. Plus lots of what has been planted is just root stock and may not be visible till next spring, so I figured I'd list some of the things we've done so far and plans for the next couple weeks. A couple weeks ago I planted a Bleeding Heart. Luckily our freak spring snow storms haven't done any real damage.
Plants that have been patiently waiting through this erratic weather to go next to the pond are:
A pink/orange lily
Sweet Potato Vines (both colors)
Stone Crop
Snap Dragons
Labrador Violets
And New Guinea Impatiens
We also started planting our garden box. So far we've planted four types of tomatoes, jalapenos, and Crenshaw melons. I'm also planning on adding some watermelon, lettuce, and spinach.
I put a little box of Chocolate Mint and Peppermint on the brick pyramid that was there when we moved in. They smell SO yummy!
A slightly sad little Fuchsia
Petunias in the pyramid. We also planted strawberries, basil, and Rock Cress here.
Items that are in the mail, or about to be, include:
50 Peacock Orchid/Lily bulbs
10 Ostrich Ferns
10 Wild Ginger Plants
10 Trout Lilies (5 Yellow, 5 White)
10 Trillium plants (5 Grandiflorum, 5 Sessile)
25 Hostas (2 different kinds)
And 100 Lily of the Valley plants
Pants I'm considering for the pond include:
Monkey Flower
And Bloody Dock as well as several others
Ps. Many of these came from my new favorite Ebay seller, ClamPam. Thanks Pam!!!
