This is further to the left of Hannah's corner and is in almost full sun. Here I have my groundcover test patch. I am trying a number of varieties to see which work best. These are all groundcovers which can take a fair amount of foot traffic.
Previously this strange little spot was nothing but dirt and a few brave grass plants but even grass didn't like it there much.
And here is the Green Man bed, in front of the old garage that serves as a garden shed:
This had only the two peonies, no mulch, no nuthin'. Under the stones on the left is a planting of bulbs I dug up when I was clearing out Hannah's corner. Not sure what they are, probably crocus and maybe a tulip or two. Other bulbs also went into this bed, in front of the center column are some tulips and at the right side in front, some daffodils. All of those were dug up in the sun bed, during major weeding stages. The iris are from the sun bed too, where they were crowded in with all sorts of stuff, trees and weeds and blackeyed susans and liriope and a bunch of orange ditchlilies (which are replanted, in part, on the left side of the Green Man bed.) These iris are stunning gorgeous, a deep purple/blue that is almost black. I think the contrast of those with the orange daylilies is wonderful, and have repeated some replanting in front of the fence, between Hannah's corner and the groundcover nursery. There's a curved area there where they are now set out.
And finally (for now) this is my "potting bench" Heehee!
