July 12, 2009

Adding a new bed - hope to disguise the well pipe and as an added bonus, a garden in this area may make the shed recede into the background. Hauled rocks yesterday and outlined the shape. Next I am going to lay some newspapers and then top with mulch to kill off the grass. I have plenty of perennials to divide and plant in this area - mostly coneflowers, coreopsis, asters. In this bed I already planted the White Swan and Harvest Moon Coneflowers I picked up for 30% off at Dambly's.
