The bare side yard patch has been transformed. So far we've put in a meandering little path, planted a few this and that and already the neighbors are commenting. "Looks nice!" I pulled out more broken glass, got coated in poison ivy (again!) and found a penny (o joy!) Today I planted my first seeds scavenged from the pile of weirdness in the garage. Mostly out of season, but whatever. 1 Poppies Shirley, (thin to 10".) Planted with the ones from the 'green on 5/30 2 Chives (allium schoenoprasum) (thin to 6") 3 Blue Fescue (thin to 12" - cut back to 3-4" annually. Divide every 3 years) 4 Clasping Coneflower (oracopsis amplexicaulis) - (free from bank) 5 White Coneflower, purple coneflower (thin to 18") 6 Shasta Daisy (leftover from wedding packets) 7 Amaranth (Gimmee from TNG) Cat grass (avena sativa) 8 Cilantro & Thyme (thin to 1' apart) 9 Dwarf mixed lupins. Why do I have these? We'll see what comes up.
