WOW! You ladies are GOOD! Thank you so much for identifying the plants in yesterday's post. How fabulously helpful. May I ask you for help again today? This small plant is in my front yard. right now it's about 18" - 24" tall.
I'm looking forward to the long weekend. I've got a landscaper coming tomorrow to clear out some old mulch, till and then add loam to a long plot on the north side of the house. I've got plans for a shade garden to go there, but they got sidetracked when I discovered there was several layers of that black garden cloth underneath a big pile of old mulch. Grass had tried to grow through the garden cloth, so it was a PITA to remove. As if that wasn't bad enough, there was only two inches of dirt under that, and under that was all sand. Yuk! So after tomorrow, I can get some plants in the ground. I'm pretty excited.
As for the front yard, I have to decide what I want it to look like, but the ground there is in worse shape than the side garden, so that will take a lot of preparation before I plant new plants. I've decided to plan it out the same way I decided to lay out my house when I was planning the move last year - with graph paper. I'm going to measure out the garden, figure out what's there, and then make little graph paper circles to represent the various plants I want to consider, and the plants that are already there. Then I can move everything around until I get an arrangement I like.
Thanks again for the help.
