More to do

This "floating" flower bed needs some work. I'm going to decide what plants to move/thin out, define the edges, and then mulch it. It is currently planted with (left to right) an old snowball bush, decorative plum tree, and a dogwood bush. The low stuff is a wild ground cover with white flowers, a clump of chives, a coral bell, and a bunch of columbine.

I also still need some more impatiens for pots, maybe a few coleus, and a hanging basket. I need more mulch for various spots, red lava rocks for 'round back of the house, and a few more bricks for along the walk because I underestimated how many I needed. Once I get all the stuff I need it shouldn't take long to finish up. Then I can just relax. Ha!

What still needs doing around your place?

I just realized I haven't commented on here for a long time! I like your new landscaping- very pretty. We need to water our garden because it's HOT, and I need to plant those daffodil bulbs you sent me! And eventually we need to finish our painting projects... I'm mildly dreading doing the bedroom because it means moving all the furniture. BUT I just had a brilliant idea!! Do it while the family is gone for two weeks (california) and move upstairs while we paint!
