Last August I planted our Butterfly/Bee Garden in the front yard. All of the plants I got on discount because it was the end of flower season and they were looking pretty sad. I have added some plants to the list in that post. Namely milkweed, another lavender, a tiny start of a blue fescue grass, more creeping thyme for the walkway, and several random types of sedum.
Here's the updated pictures. It still looks pretty bare, but I plan to remedy that this year. I also want to expand the borders around my garden, which are currently harboring bark and a drip line tube, but nothing living.
This is wonderful and what a great idea. It will fill in. The old adage for perennials is:
ReplyDeleteFirst year they sleep
Second year they creep
Third year they leap.
And it's true, they really do that.
