Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just knowing they can wait while I deal with the mulch crisis really makes me feel better about them. I was feeling quite guilty because I forgot they were in the woodshed.

Then when Bev said they didn't like being moved around a lot and I've been moving them a lot ... I thought it might be the kiss of death ...

I didn't know that yuccas or agaves could handle my cold winter temps. Guess I will have to do a lot more research. One of things I like about ATP is that I am always learning about new plants. This is my first in ground garden and I am a novice gardener who just happens to know a lot about roses.

Part of my pending plan D is to find a way to make pockets in the rock borders I have made around the rose beds. I've got to watch the light to see if they will get enough shade in the afternoon.



>>>>the yellowie ground cover looks like 'Angelina'

Oh, good. It has a name ! The other part of pending Plan D is to use that plant to line the path I need to make under the dogwood tree so that I can get back in there and utilize the shade of that tree. I've cleaned out most of the vinca you see in the photo below and plan to line the path with more rock and thought that plant could be worked in along the path.



The petals you see are from the dogwood. I think I have to move the dutch irises to the back of the bed. I know I want to remove a large mahonia plant to make room for more shade plants. I have two more heucheras to go in that bed.

I thought I'd plant 'Dragon's Blood' in front of 'Silver Scrolls'... per Bev, I've got that pot sitting in front of SS.



I also purchased two wood fruit cases that I planned to line with nylon window screen to hold the soil in place to try to make one of Bev's living pictures. I bought them before I found out I couldn't find the right planting materials.

Even tho' I am in a holding pattern for the semps, I certainly appreciate the suggestions because I'll be thinking about the next project which will be the Hens and Chicks.

@valleylynn, Lynn and @webesemps, Bev ... thank you for the "Welcome". I can tell I am going to need your coaching. I feel like an idiot in training.

Smiles,
Lyn
