Yesterday, I found myself with a few spare hours, so I dug. And, I dug, and I dug some more! I dug up enough Daffodils, Naked Ladies, and Snowbells to fill up 3 flower beds. I also snagged some Liriope which makes great borders. Here is most of what I dug up:
My future plans include going after the Nandina that currently resides in the woods. It will make a pretty little hedge to the side of my house. Eventually I'll have to break down and buy some day lilies for summer blooms. I also have some Iris bulbs waiting to be planted. Overall, it's not a bad start.
Here are a few of the last of the Daffodil blooms for the season with an Iris tossed into the bottom pic.:
That was a wonderful idea! And I love that last picture. Have a great weekend!
