Phew! What a week this has been. I think I finally have the new space figured out. But wait! I haven’t shown you the final grooming of said new space. Here it is, taken from the drone. What looks like a lot of space shrinks down when beds, paths and tractor ways go in, but here it is for you all to see.
Look at all that space! Now add tractor paths, shrubs along the borders for cutting, beds and paths, and wow how the space disappears.
Today was mostly spent planting out the flower beds. Whether I have enough space when it is all said and done it yet to be seen. This is what happened today.
I know, there are a lot of open holes yet, but look at what still has to go in!
In the meantime, we are creating new beds that will be planted this fall at the earliest. I need a bed or two for the spring bulbs, a bed for the peonies, one or two for the perennials. Then the shrubs that got planted the other day along the left side and back that will be used for cutting and adding to the bouquets. Lilac, flowering quince, physocarpus, oh that space will all be filled up soon. Then I will save some space off to the right behind the little shed for the pumpkins and gourds. Yes. it is a happenin’ place. A full happenin’, happy, beautiful space.
I have gotten a lot of lovely comments with photos of the flowers that you are taking home and making arrangements with or just taking beautiful photos of the flowers. Soon, I hope to be able to post them here so everyone can enjoy them. Especially my friends in Europe who can only enjoy them virtually.
We are at the tail end of the magnificent tulips, what a show they delivered. The anemones are still going strong and here is a lovely photo, not of the farmer, holding a bunch of rainbow colored ranunculas.
Until, next week. Allie
