Spring planting!

I took out the driveway leg of the sidewalk today! We're going to have one go from the porch along the hollies to the driveway instead, and still have one go up to the mailbox. So I moved part of a pink up the sidewalk so it'll look more in line with the rest. I also moved 2 Stellas to make them look more with it. And I moved one of the echinacea (that I planted from seeds that I bought at Sugarlands Visitor Center in the Great Smoky Mountains NP in 2009) to the new area. And I transplanted the fuzzy plant with the fuschia-colored flowers that came from Maw's (and came from her mother's) I also planted some melampodium that I got last n
ight at Home Depot.

I also planted a clematis that I got last night at Lowe's, since President has finally died. This one is supposely pure white. We'll see...

On the deck, I planted a long pot on the kitchen side of the deck with a purple and a pink calibrachoa, since the pink
one from last year is doing so well after wintering over. Hopefully these will be just as nice, and last
until next year, assuming we have a light winter again. I also put some marigolds and a red geranium in the pot
that had the tomato last year.
