What we’re digging right now part two

Continuing updates from our members during the Covid-19 quarantine.

In nearly back to back gardens on the north side of town Anne and Cole are both tackling all kinds of projects. Cole has been weeding and is determined to stay on top of it this year. She has also been dividing and moving around all kinds of perennials. She has prepped her veggie beds and started seeds under the grow lights. She is contemplating reworking an unruly area near the back of her garden and expanding another bed to add in a few more roses. She is really enjoying the tulips right now and her cherry trees look like they are covered in fluffy tufts of pink cotton candy. The peonies are up and a few already have plump buds. The roses are leafed out and ahead of schedule thanks to the warm weather. Percy and Lucille are enjoying rolling around in the lush grass!

Anne has a very shady lot and wants to expand a number of areas to incorporate more woodland plants. She has spent a lot of time weeding and tidying beds so far. It looks great! Anne has an impressive hosta collection that includes a number of prized miniature hosta and an enormous, lovely cultivar called “Elvis.” Her azaleas are starting to bloom as seen in the photos. She also moved a lilac last fall and was rewarded with some blooms.
