Hello from Delaware to medinac, luvnature and Christine. I'm Kathy in Wilmington with a postage size backyard.

The photos of the heuchera bed (and there are ferns and shaded plants in the back bed) used to be all ivy when we bought the house. It took forever to dig out the roots. My first scheme was to plant vegetables. So being young and new to gardening I put too many plants in and ended up with enough vegetables to feed the entire state. The tomato plants turned into a jungle and one plant tagged as zucchini was actually a pumpkin. Still kind of funny 30 years later to realize I must have been my neighbor's cheap entertainment. And it seems like every year there's yet another story to add usually resulting from one of my half baked ideas. In another post I'll have to tell you about my Scarecrow Sprinker fiasco from last year. It's a joke a minute over here.

I guess I'm pretty lucky with plugs as I just direct sow in the ground and forget about them but I've never been able to do that with Tiarellas for whatever reason. I love little plugs as you deceive yourself squeezing in more plants you know you don't have room for! (Kind of like those 4" pots of tomato plants)

The "moss" between the pavers is Steppables Irish and Scottish moss.
