I planted the Disney rose bush and two bishop’s weed. We’ll see if I regret the bishop’s weed in the coming years. It can be invasive but is such a nice-looking ground cover that I hope I won’t. That’s the hard part about ground covers, finding one that will spread a decent enough area that you don’t have to buy a million plants. Maybe that’s why I like my lamium so much. It grows about 18″ wide and then stays that size. If you cut some out to transplant, it fills back in. Of course, it’s a gorgeous ground cover, too. One of my lamb’s ears is not looking so hot so I moved an urn-shaped planter that was next to it in case it just wasn’t getting enough sun.

I wish I had more to report on the veggie gardening. At least I’m down to just one window (with a card table) of seedlings still indoors. I left a good portion of Plant Swap seeds and seedlings outside. Figured I can start the hardening off process for the future owners.

I still need to plant my pieris. I hope to do that this weekend, if not sooner, so that the plant doesn’t die in the pot. Each year, there seems to be one plant that suffers that fatality. Watered everything and it looks like half of the dianthus and poppies that were put in ground might make it. Keep your fingers crossed because tonight it’s supposed to be cold.
