gardenglassgems's blog: Remembering what the spring and summer of 2020 was like.

In April and May of 2020 besides working on the sides and back of the slab bed next to the garage, I was busy working in other flower beds as well. I did not get them completely finished so this spring/summer 2021 I will be hopefully getting those beds finished.
Two of the beds I worked on was the Pasture Bed behind the Outhouse Bed as well as the Outhouse Bed. The Pasture Bed behind the Outhouse Bed is where I planted many different SDB Iris. But years earlier I had planted Ditch Lily along the 2 rail fence and garden phlox in the Outhouse Bed that had really spread. So I dug out all the Ditch Lily and started digging out the phlox.
The SDB Iris are on the left half. The Ditch Lily are along the 2 rail fence. I did get the Ditch Lily all dug out and filled in the right side with dirt and then stopped. I want to make sure the Ditch Lily doesn't come back before I plant something in this area. Probably TB Iris.

This is the Outhouse Bed. I started digging out the garden phlox but stopped because I got busy doing something else. I need to transplant Tulips, Daffodils, Liatris, SDB Iris, and a few other flowers from this bed. So I will have to dig carefully.


This is the Shade Bed on the north side of our house. I planted Hosta, a Bleeding Heart, and some Lily of the Valley but made the mistake of planting some ferns here. So my next task was trying to dig the ferns out of this bed. I got a lot of the top part dug out but gave up and moved on to another area. So this spring 2021, I will try to get around to digging more of the fern out of this bed before all the Hosta wake up.

You can see what I got done. I am afraid that I missed a few.

This is what I have yet to do.

It is now May 6, 2020. I have decided to put a raised bed in the front of my small asparagus patch that is at the back of this area. The Raised Bed Flower Garden is to the left.


This is the new raised bed in front of the small asparagus patch.


I will continue later.
