That is a most auspicious dream! How wonderful.
This morning, I finished Hannah's corner! Well, to the extent anything is ever finished. I guess I am at 95% though and have worked the whole bed. Whew!
Here's what all I had to dig out this morning, not counting the patch of perennial vinca which I potted up to use in containers. In the ground, it's too hard to work with, IMO.
I amended soil, with manure, alfalfa pellets, bonemeal, and Milorganite. Not a big dose but enough to blend in the whole area. I'd already transplanted iris I'd moved, and a bunch of those orange ditch lilies. Today, I planted out the 20 plus noid dl starts I received from this wonderful sale.
I also placed four slate tiles as stepping stones in an area where I don't want to compact the soil at all. (Found a couple stacks of these in the shed!)
The sky stayed overcast most of the time I was working, but then the sun came out, and the light makes these hard to see detail. (You can see more in the larger images, just a bit.) The pale mulch is white pine shavings. That will darken some over time, and I like it better than the wood chips that got blown onto all the beds a while ago.
Everything is going to get enough sun there with the possible exception of the ginger! But I feel it will grow forward, a bit, away from the fence, which is good, and if next year it still doesn't seem to be getting enough sun I can move it then.
Finally, just for fun, here are my tarragon and thyme seedlings. They were started in smaller pots and transplanted to these a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to put them in the ground soon. This was just me not being able to wait to try a few seeds. I am not really organized yet but they grew anyway.
