I got out today after taking a 'day off' to do house work. Weather was going to break and rain tonight so I got out there and dug up the rest of the bed I decided to plant all the peonies in. Had to dig out an area of lamium mixed with grass. What a mess. I also put new commercial edging inside the brick to contain the dirt in the bed. Used my soil sieve to knock as much soil out of the grass/lamium I dug up. What a chore. But all but two peonies are planted and labeled. Three pieces left of Border Charm I cut up and I want them in the newly joined bed in the front. Will use that bed for dahlias next year along with adding an hydrangea from the back yard and two Ninebark with three forsythia. Then will just 'lay in' iris, lilies and ground cover to keep them alive til next year. Snow is coming soon. The back yard is pretty much going under the snow as is. I will pile up what I have cut up and if I have time continue to cut down plants for grinding. Not sure how much time I have left. I only put in about four or five hours as it is below freezing in the morning with frost every where. I can't handle the cold so wait til after noon to start digging.
