We had lovely early-spring weather this past weekend, so we got out and dug up a new flower bed along the newest section of fence. Here Sprout models the latest addition to our landscape:
In the front I planted Daylillies from Keeley, Lavender bushes from my mom,a couple of Coral Bells and 8 "Jersey King" asparagus roots. The back row is entirely blueberries, all different varieties. We planted 5 of them, and have two more still to go once we finish working a few more loads of nice dirt from our pile into the far end of their bed.
It seems a little wierd, after last summer's obsessive focus on establishing a lawn, to be out there digging up our sod! But most of all, it feels good to be out in the sunshine with a shovel again. :)

The yards looking great. We're in the planning stages. I know what I want to plant all over the yard, but Nick wants a detailed diagram to reign in my flights of fancy. I just found out about some huge landscaping place near here so I'm sure I'll be out there some time this week making notes.
I'm so glad those daylilies went to a good cause. I planted all of my herbs in the area where I dug them out, and the daffies are coming in all around the rosemary and thyme...I love Spring. Addie, I;ll give you a call about starts soon- maybe this weekend...
I think the daylillies are really going to work out well in their new spot. They have lots of room to spread out & fill in so I shouldn't have to dig or divide them for several years. This weekend won't work for me for planting, we'll be going to Moira's b-day party on sunday - of course, maybe we'll see you there!
the place is looking great. I will be pouring a slab for my sauna soon! I also am looking for some compost for my garden, any suggestions?
Wow Dan, that's great! I look forward to trying out your sauna when it's done.
As close as you are to Twin Sisters mushroom farm, you might be able to get a deal on some compost from them. Mushroom farms tend to go through a lot of it...
