project 5 spring planting

You might recall that I'm working on a new perennial bed on the southwest corner of my property. It's basically a southern-exposed, 30x10 swath that is getting a shot at a Gertrude Jekyll-like color and design scheme. I planted about half of it last fall.

Now the rest of the plants have arrived, from arabis alpina to cloth-of-gold. A large box from Bluestone Perennials showed up yesterday. I unpacked it and watered all the smushed little plants. Tomorrow the go in the ground -- just in time for spring growth.

So, time to stock up on the advil for a day of stooping!
