The fall catalogs are arriving - a bittersweet thing. It means the season is almost over, but it also means planning for fall plantings to enjoy next year. Here's what's on my wish list (including where I plan to plant it so I don't forget!):
From Bluestone Perennials:
Grape Hyacinth (Shade Garden)
Scilla (Shade Garden)
Hyacinth (Blue Ice - a light blue one, and Blue Jacket - -a dark blue) (Garage Border)
Snowdrops (Shade Garden)
Lime Frost Daylily (Driveway Border)
I'm also ordering some more oriental lilies from John Scheepers to enhance my garden this time of year next year when a lot of things are past peak. I ordered five of each so I can plant some in the garage boarder, driveway border, and maybe even around the shed.
Miniature Oriental Lily Mona Lisa
Garden Party
Sheila
and some more spring bulbs:
English Bluebells (Shade Garden)
Allium (Driveway Border)
About two weeks ago the kids and I doubled the size of the shade garden. The soil was actually pretty good when I tilled it up - I just had to add some peat moss and it looks really good. I just divided up some of my perennials and moved a few more to fill it in. We also tilled up a little garden around the shed and put some more sun loving things there. I can't wait to see how things fill in next summer!
Other plans for the shed and garage next year - WINDOW BOXES!!!
