The coreopsis are beautiful!
Maybe more detailed to-do lists that outline each step, just for the satisfaction of crossing things off?
Looks like a lot of pretty stuff going on in that bed. Definitely worth it to keep the Monarda just for the hummingbirds and goldfinch! I've had one coming by my yard recently, drawn in by the Cardinal lobelia and Red Salvia, both of which are blooming now. I just saw him perching for a while in the cherry tree. I hope he/she decides to make a nest nearby.
Dig out an oak? whew! that sounds like a job!
Well, that's too bad about the car thing, Kyla. We'll just have to be on the lookout for some other gardeners from the Richmond area you could ride up with! Too bad I'm not closer--I'd offer you to ride up with me!
