I reallt "yardened" yesterday--for hours and hours....Will continue today.

I am "attacking" the YUK bed. Planting some of the$2 perennials I bought,
Man! Ripping those roots out and amending the soil took me about 5-6 hours
in just this small area. This is an arms-reach away from the trunk of the big Maple.


1--Planted 2 B&B Salvias there, plus one white Cone Flower, and 2 Lantanas in the front.

2--in the process--I dug up a tray-full of bulbs from those clustered, fragrant
Daffs, that I have in this bed. These can be had at the Swap if anyone id interested.
I will divvy them up in baggies.

3--Fragrant, clustered daffs-

4--Today--I will be tackling the YUK bed corner. God help me!!!
Will remove the 3 clumps of Stellas & one struggling Liriope--
Dig up the area (!!!) and Will plant 2 new daff clumps (similar to Stellas) called "Snow Orchid".

Hope to have better soil in there afterwards. And--by next year--the roots
will be all back in there... Wish me luck...
