Gardening notes

Just a post I can refer to next year about plants.

Best coleus were from Joseph's and that guy at the east end of the farmer's market.

Impatiens from Fitkens were slow to start but look pretty good now. Might have planted them a bit late.

Back bed needs to have irises divided and 3 or 4 lilies moved out to the lily bed. Which needs to be expanded by one row.

Small butterfly bush in herb bed is crowded. Move to larger bed?

Larger bed needs some amendment in the fall after the annuals are dead. Perennials to stay: lavender, spice bush, obedient plants (2), Chip's big plant. Need to plant more big zinnias for cutting.

Move some wild ginger back up to hosta bed up at back of house.

window boxes: started with pansies that lasted til end of July and replaced with wave petunias.

$3 azalea from Home Depot died immediately in the under the tree plant area.
