I finished with the plantings in the new garden bed. There are 3 varieties of narcissus (daffodils) that I planted in between the calla lilies and the rosemary plants. 8 Cool Flame, 10 Cyclamineus, 10 Trumpet. Plus Anita picked out some crocus bulbs; there are 15 of them in 3 groups of 5. When I got done with that, I ripped up the sod on the backside next to the fence, raked it out and threw some grass seed down. Normally I would have dug it out more, treated it with vinegar to kill the weeds, laid down some weed barrier, then a layer of top soil, followed by a layer of planting compost, then seed it. But this time I said to myself "Self, screw that, too much work!" and just scattered the grass seeds and some Molemax and watered it. Eventually the entire bed will surrounded with new grass, but it has to be done one section at a time for obvious reasons.
