I looooove spiky purple plants... Actually, I love lots of colors of spiky plants: Veronicas, Lavenders, Salvias, the more the merrier.

After last weekend, I'm ready to start planting. I have tons of perennials from seed and a few from co-ops, more coming. But so far I've done mostly prep. One huge area that was half filled with tall grasses, daylilies and weeds, and the other half with weeds, got re-arranged and cleared with the help of a strong young man. I did the weeding around smaller plants I wanted to keep, and all the mulching, with a few layers of newspapers underneath to help keep it weed free until I'm ready to plant.

The un-mulched area has some grasses and other plants which have not yet emerged enough to be sure of, so I'm waiting to see what grows there before making changes.
