It has only a thin layer of mulch because I don’t want to suffocate the seeds, and it still needs its soaker hoses installed (and that’s when I finish the mulch), but everything is planted. Not that I remember what I planted, but that’s why I saved the envelopes and made a list!

I started at about 0730h this morning, and didn’t finish until 1400h, stopping only for maybe 20 minutes to eat lunch. I thought I was going to die, and my back won’t forgive me for a week, but it’s done!

I also planted a few seeds here and there (too tired, didn’t keep track), and put 28 crocosmia bulbs (20 Lucifer and 8 Montbretia) in the Honeysuckle Horseshoe. Still have plenty of seeds yet to plant, a few blazing star bulbs, and the six columbine that will be done blooming by the time I get them in the goddamned ground. However, I also have…bluebells! They’re growing well and quite lovely.

Wild columbine is growing, and I might even get a bloom.

At least one Virginia snakeroot is alive.

Astilbe isn’t dead after all, and heuchera is going to bloom (planted too late last year to see it).
