6/27/05 - Garden update

Hello,
Welcome to my new gardening blogger.

I'm new to perennial gardening in New England (Boston Area) and I thought I'd start this to keep track of things as well as to learn.

So, what's up?

This weekend we MULCHED and MULCHED and WEEDED and MULCHED.

Also, today, my friend Sue, gave me a perennial called "Cranesbill". It has the cutest pink flowers. I like the shade of pink very much, and the leaves are sure unusual. I'm going to put it in one of my beds at home.

Also, for her, I bought (at her request) some fox gloves and gave her a rose campion and a day lily. She is working on expanding her flower garden.

One thing I'm struggling with is the design of my garden. Right now, there is the Builder plants and then separately beds of flowers. The flower beds that are separate from the house are fine. The ones in front of the house feel a bit awkward. More on that later.

Tata.
