9. I plant lots!

Sep 2013

Mostly perennials: planted 3 aster frikartiis the other day, and today dug up a barberry and burning bush- can't wait to buy a new, less invasive shrub for that spot tomorrow! Planted 6 or 7 day lilies from Oakes 2 weeks ago- a splurge, couldn't resist. Last year I bought a late-blooming aster at Lowe's on sale for $1.50 and planted it in early November- it did fine and is just starting to bloom now. Soon I'll plant bulbs: tulips, lilies, muscari, chinodoxa, galanthus, anemone giants. I'm addicted! Hope your living situation works out so you can enjoy more gardening. ( :

This is probably not the right answer Curmudgeoness Sep 2013 #1

Huh. Was wondering if should put down an extra layer of bark for the root, or something? Flaxbee Sep 2013 #2

Hi, Flaxbee. Curmudgeoness Sep 2013 #3

I like the idea of gardening a lot more than the actual work of digging holes and weeding. The Flaxbee Sep 2013 #4
