Veggie Beds Begun
I am anticipating some veggie planting this weekend so I have started readying my beds. Tonight I turned the small bed and added compost. This is where lettuce will probably live, as well as a few beans, snow peas, and maybe a few herbs (basil, coriander, dill). It doesn't get a ton of sun, so it will be a bit of an experiment. I know lettuce has done great here before.. we'll see about the rest. The columbines are so out of place here - I moved a bunch of them to the perenial bed but they keep multiplying here. The hosta that I moved last year seems to be doing pretty well. (lower right corner).
Perenialville is starting to look promising... lots of blues which I wanted. I still have to get some Bee Balm for in front of the Daisies, and some Maltese cross for behind the Jacob's ladder. And that will be it for now.I've got some major pruning to do on the Lilac once it's done blooming. It's so overgrown underneath, and there are tons of suckers.
Also, I found a hydrangea type think hiding in amongst the Ninebark that I should find a better spot for.

DAMN! That perennial bet is HOT. Ser, it looks great - It's amazing how fast that stuff fills in! I think that veggie ville will be excellent - will you be moving that lupine? When is it safe to move?

I moved a bunch of the lupines already, some did ok and some didn't. I keep calling them columbines for some reason, I think because my neighbour has columbines, and I stare at them jealously - but these are definitely lupines. I think now is as good a time as any to move them since they haven't started blooming yet. Also, I kind of moved them with the idea that they were not doing great where they were, so if they did't make it I wouldn't be crushed. They are multiplying freakishly in this weird spot. I guess they know best, whatever!!
