Thanks for starting the monthly thread, green, I do say you like you the monthly threads!
Here is the second Ligularia 'Midnite Lady' that I amended. I know the leaves can get bigger for one, they were about twice this size last year, but I think that was just due to the heat. It's photos 1 and 2. -
I'm glad their still alive anyway, I love my Ligularias! 3rd is my Heuchera (Coral Bells) 'Palace Purple' in the apple basket. Like I figured it was about 3 times heavier after I put a bit of soil in it. All mulch isn't too natural, not having any water retention can't be good with all mulch, even tho the pot WAS light then! lol Those Hollyhock seeds you sent me, ju, are becoming more sprouts everyday, here they are now. - 4th pic. Here is an overall view of the shade garden, it doesn't look too harassed with all the amendments, I even put some new cedar mulch over it, 5th pic.
