new flower bed
Ive been fixing up a little flower garden next to my cold frame. I had a few perennials here that had grown together and gotten weeds and then they got trampled when my husband painted the house this summer. Now that the painting is done, I replanted the bed.
I dug out everything, separated all the perennials, removed the weeds and replanted. I added some compost and a few new plants, including a red bee balm (monarda), orange butterfly milkweed, a purple New England aster, a classic Autumn Joy sedum, a deep red rose (Mr Lincoln), and some annuals. Plants I have include a purple iris, several peonies (which I planted all together) and digitalis.
I also bought a bunch of slate pieces, odds-and-ends at a local garden center and made a U-shaped path of stepping stones. Im hoping to have lots of flowers in this bed next year and walk along the stones to pick bouquets.
I splurged and used the dark black Coast of Maine composting mulch on this small bed. Im looking forward to next year as it matures and fills in.
