Ah, That's Better

Earlier this spring I removed a lot of brown-eyed Susans from the front edge of the arbor gardens. It left me with some empty areas, like in the front of the purple iris. It bothers me every time I take a picture.
So I went out to the rockwall garden and dug up a few hosta.


I like it so much better with the chartreusey color of the hosta. The larger hosta may be Sum & Substance, but I can't say for sure.
Here's a close up view:


Now I need to do something with these bare spots.

I've been removing fall asters and trying to kill poppies in this area. The work just never ends in a perennial garden! But this is what I consider the fun stuff--removing, adding, redesigning....that's what keeps me entertained all summer.

I need to go buy something to plant in a container to stuff inside this milkcan.


I actually have a couple of empty milk cans to fill. I will probably go and buy an annual or two this weekend. I am looking forward to a weekend at home puttering in the garden. Maybe I will even fit in a cleaning chore or two.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
