…and it’s still not done. I got all three weigelas in, and ten Radio Red salvia, and two baptisia. PL left quite a bit of gravel, and I really hope that I dug wide enough and deep enough to give everything enough of both good soil and drainage. I dunno. I also moved what was left of my Nanho Blue butterfly bush, but I don’t think it’s going to live. I’ll probably just buy another one.

I’m still not sure how I’m going to do the edging–I’m considering using cardboard and mulch instead of pulling up all of the grass–and it’s going to take forever to get the excess dirt off the grass around the flowerbed, but progress is progress.

I think this one may have had the wrong tag. Maybe.

Not in the flowerbed, but I shudder to think how deep the roots are on clover with leaves this big.

Goldfields are cute, if a bit crowded by the catnip that struggled last year and looks like a jungle this year.

I actually gave up on my lobelia cardinalis seeds, and bought some plants. I almost bought great blue lobelia as well, but I think these might be just that. Not sure, but they look right. Also, once I bought the cardinalis, I noticed a bunch of seedlings like this over there, too. Of course. Oh well, the only thing better than flowers is moar flowers!

Today, I’ll try to at least get the bee balm and ‘Autumn Colors’ rudbeckia planted. Dunno what else.

For the record, hibiscus sawflies need to die.
