Plantings (32)
Progress Journal (150)
Wish List (3)
When I moved here, I was lucky to have inherited a 25′ × 25′ garden. It has poor drainage and is about the only place on our property that gets full sun. It has gone through a few incarnations over the years. This year, I have added perennials…a LOT of perennials! They’re all new to me, so I hope I can keep them alive.
