This was another beautiful weekend. Warm sun, not humid and a great breeze. After a busy Saturday and Sunday morning I was concerned that I would not be able to get out into the garden to do what I needed to do. On Saturday I found 1 and a half hours to shop for the Invincible Spirit Hydrangea and Heuchera I wanted. I went shopping for plants at at 3:30 on Sunday, got started at 5:30 pm and worked until 8pm. It was amazing how much I got done. I was able to make 9 hanging baskets, 6 pots and reorganizing the corner garden. I was so happy to find the Invincible Spirit Hydrangea, which is the main feature of the Memory Garden. I still have some plants to by for the baskets and pots but they are good for now. I have not yet planted the vegetables but I did by the soil for area where the squash and beans are going to be grown. I also have to weed the vegetable garden, mound the soil around the potatoes and set out the seedlings I started inside. Here are some photos of this week's garden. It is amazing how fast it has grown.
This is the corner bed that I have been working on. I made the Heucheras and Autumn Joy Sedum continue from just the right side to now the left side. I took the true Geraniums that were on the left, divided them and then put them in front of all the Heucheras and Sedum in a row. Once they fill in it is going to be quite dramatic. This is a more formal garden and is finally where I want it to be.
