I spent allllllllll last summer moving, selling, and throwing away so I had some space and air, and everything would be in the right place. Ha, so you can forget that because plants have a mind of their own. I swear they talk to each other at night and decide to be obstinate and do just the opposite of what I planned.
I did the alfalfa pellet thing last fall , and I have so much greenery that it's hard to tell the woods from the plants!!! I just hope I get as many flowers as I have green. So much for space!!!
My garden by the barn is where all the phlox go, and they have taken over. I am going to wait until they bloom this year and many will be hitting the compost pile. You should see all the flowers blooming on that pile, lol. It's hard to throw away plants but it has to be done. The friend that I am helping with the church garden has a good acre in perennial gardens. Those flowers were like children to her and she could never throw one thing away. Now it is a mass of plants that 10 people couldn't clean out in a month. Many , many things no longer bloom because there is no air or sun
