September 2014

This week, I received a shipment from Bluestone Perennials for some plants:

Achillea Oertel's Rose (3)
Geranium Lancastriense (3)
Lavandula Hidcote Superior (3)

Today, I was able to plant the Achillea before it started to rain. While doing so, I discovered that there was not much depth to the soil due to some underlying asphalt (the previous homeowners used the front of the house as a parking area). For now, I installed them and will come back and maybe throw some compost them later. I'll probably move the plants again later if they seem to be struggling. Some shallow-rooted plants might be a better idea.

In the garden, the Echinacea and Russian Sage are still in bloom and the Sedum have started to turn pink. There is also an abundance of weeds all around. Lots of work to do!
