You're right, Anya—don't know why I thought it was lacti. It's pretty easy to tell which will bloom first though—Abalone Pearl is already showing color while May Apple's bud isn't full size yet.
We'll probably not go back out until June or early July and hopefully I can get the first hundred to 2 hundred feed installed. It'll be laborious but not very technical, just have to level each 4' section and install drainage pipe behind it in gravel. I think it'll be less fussy than doing pre-formed stones and look really cool. I should be able to put together 60-100 boxes to take out there, each one only really takes 10 minutes or so once I have the materials here at the house. I'm going to have some seriously strong arms from that bolt cutter when I'm done!
