Well, two, but the second doesn’t yet exist, so I’m calling it one flowerbed left to plant. I finished the fence line yesterday with just enough of both dwarf butterfly bushes and scarlet pumpernickel seeds. I actually had one butterfly bush left, but I put it in the rectangular bed by the house. That’s also where I put the six yarrow.

I thought I had tons of crabgrass to pull from the rectangular bed, but it’s actually liatris!

P found a toadally at work, so he brought him home; Parview is much more toad-friendly than a rail yard. I let him go near the pond, and he took a little shower to freshen up after the trip.

I had intended to buy a bee hoce on Amazon, but I’m glad I balked at the $25 price tag because I found this one at ALDI for ten bucks!

I didn’t post these yesterday, so…random flowers.

Phlox, phlox, phlox…just fun to say, and at least the deer haven’t eaten all of it.

Wild geranium. I don’t like cultivated geraniums much, but the wild ones are lovely.

Canadian columbine, first bloom. I’d have fields of this stuff if I could.

Flava honeysuckle cuttings. I hope they root; I bought two of these plants in the spring of 2014, and they were $10 each for 4″ pots. One didn’t make it through the first winter, but the other is doing well, and I took some cuttings. Honeysuckle is supposed to be easy to root, and I hope this is. I also hope the mother plant blooms this year; it hasn’t yet.
