DH comes home from a short business trip and will be grinding mulch for me. BuggyCrazy just sent a note and is sending me FOUR bulbs from a lily I sent her a few years ago. I had two and shared with her some of the whatever you call them when you peel pieces off. Then it died in my garden the next spring. I am so thrilled and grateful as this lily was only offered briefly by Judith TLG and never again. I am putting it in a primo spot in the new bed with pillows and blankies and all I can think of to make it happy and healthy.
So today I will finish up the last little corner of the bed I put the peonies in yesterday, then place lilies and iris and edging. Will preen then bed then mulch. If the weather continues how it is now, it is not too late for those blasted chickweed seeds to germinate, mulch or no mulch. It rained lightly but is 42F this morning rather than the 29F it has been running. Great for the peonies to get as many new roots as possible.
I still have to figure out what to do with the huge new bed. I have some bushes to put in and metal posts to put up to add wire to as a moose fence. Hopefully it will keep the moose out
. Not so much their munching as there is little to much on (they could do some damage to the little bushes) but their big hoofies dig terrible holes and if they land on a tuber,
Oh, that reminds me. I need to mix up a batch of Planskyyd to spray also. Is pretty effective in repelling moose. Smells awful but does the job.
