ruGuess what? Iiiiiit's PLANTING TIME!
I've just gotten in from an afternoon of planting things in the yard with dear ol' Dad. I think it's shaping up pretty well. We needed to replace some plants that didn't survive the winter (or were annuals, but I doubt it. They were woody) and fill in bare spots. The ranks of the new inductees include another hosta, two mint thingies with pretty white-ish leaves and purple flowers, a lily-of-the-valley, another bluebell, an agapanthus, some salvia, a dianthus to replace a carnation that took a nose dive, and finally, in the realm of impulse buys, a foxglove and a lemon thyme. I'm in love with the lemon thyme. It smells really nice. I'm hoping if it fares well, we can get an English thyme to go with it.
We've also planted the sunflowers. I hope they do okay, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I think we waited too long on putting the ground, so they're looking pretty scraggly. But, we'll see what happens. I put a few more seeds into the beds we made, so hopefully something will grow.
That reminds me, though, that I still have the pumpkin seeds I saved from last year. I need to do something with those. Well, I have freshly empty seed pots now, so, punkins ho!
