It just occurred to me (aka I got an e-mail asking what the heck am I growing in my gardens) that I’ve never actually broke it down and shared with you guys what exactly is growing in my Zone 4 flower beds (check your zone). I’ve done a lot of sharing about what is blooming at a certain points of the season, but never really shared the makeup of each garden. I think that probably has a lot to do with editing and trial and error. The gardens beds didn’t start out with plantings in the places they are now. For instance the first and second year I just had stuff placed radomly around the yard, it was kind of like my incubating period. I was waiting for perennials to get large enough to split so I could divide them and make my gardens filled out with better arrangements. I know that there is always going to be editing when it comes to caring for a garden, but I think I’m at a point where I can share what plants are working where and why. Let’s start with the side garden that runs the length of our backyard along the fence. It’s about 3.5′ wide and 30′ long, and sits in direct sun most of the day – it’s doesn’t become shaded until late in the afternoon so sun-loving perennials are a must in this space. Along the edge of the walkway, I have placed Golden Tiara Hostas every two feet or so to make a border. Our first summer at our house I bought two of these Hostas at a garage sale for five bucks! I stuck them in the yard and then split them for two summers. By the time I got to the third summer I was able to have enough of the Hosta plants to split them and run them the length of the garden. Along the back of the garden (against the fence) I have Caradonna Salvia and Asiatic Lilies placed to add color and texture. The lilies are from my Ma and Dad’s gardens, they are pink, beautiful, tall, and usually bloom in late June or early July. The salvia was store bought, but I only ever purchased one container, and then continued to divide it over the summers until I had enough to scatter throughout the garden. Towards the far end of the […]
