Plans for today: Cora's for breakfast and much glass choppage chez studio!
Vesey's catalogue arrived in the mail yesterday - woo! So, my shopping list for spring:
* Many, many begonias, including a skaugum. Bet these will interplant well with the tulips, since they're supposed to bloom June or July through frost.
* Gaillardia (which resemble yellow/orange/red daisies) for the former ground cover garden, where it's a little sunnier
* Toad lilies, which bloom in August and September. Not sure where I will put them...next to the house maybe? They get to be 3' high.
* A couple of bigass ostrich ferns. One can go up next to the compost bin for some variety. The other one...hm...next to the fence, possibly?
* Hostas, which can fill in some holes in the wild & woolly section and possibly up with the tulips and begonias
* Astilbe, which can also go next to the house or up with the tulips etc.
* Possibly some dwarf oriental lilies, since the ones I've got look a little straggly and would be nicer in a bigger bunch, and dwarf variety would keep them from just being leggy and green all the way up
Will also have to buy:
* a frahillion impatiens for in between the ferns and in the wild & woolly section
