In the last week or so, I separated some of the pinks and planted them on the crappy, rocky hillside between the driveways. I also bought a flat of dwarf snapdragons and planted them where the geraniums were last year: to the right of the porch and next to the driveway.

We also started digging to make the new wall next to the driveway last weekend. There were several bulbs that I didn't know what they were, but I figured out from talking to Mommy that they're tiger lilies. I moved them to the rocky hillside too. There were three of them.

Mulch & weeds!

Over a couple of weekends in Februrary, I weeded the garden. It took forever, and those little frilly white things keep coming up. Last Tuesday, I mulched everything, so it looks really good now, but I know there's still weeds just waiting for an opportunity to grow!

Cheap Geraniums!

I planted some more $0.62 seed geraniums that I got at Wal-Mart yesterday. I got a couple earlier in the week to fill in between a couple of the pinks, since the profusion zinnias are very unimpressive, and I got 18 more geraniums yesterday. 18 geraniums cost just over $10. Wow! They're a little beat up, but for the most part, they look good. And they add a little more color. I planted them in the two beds where the pansies were. The pansies were WAY past their prime.

And Johnny Barbour is blooming for the first time this year on the south garden.

killing violets...hopefully

I painted Roundup on the remaining violets in the mondo yesterday. Hopefully it killed them and not too much mondo. I feel certain I got some mondo by mistake.

The Double Cutie that I got last year for my birthday 3 years ago started blooming last Tuesday (5/26). It's bright yellow. And there's something very tall blooming today for the first time, but I haven't gotten out there to inspect it yet.

I also dead-headed the coreopsis yesterday.

The copper identification stakes that I bought on eBay came in yesterday. I'm going to get Chip to write them so they'll be super-neat.

hydrangeas

I planted the hydrangeas I got on eBay today. They're Masja hydrangeas, and they're supposed to be purple. I planted them on either side of the shooting star.

And the coreopis are at their peak, and they're really pretty:

And the yard looks nice in general:

STELLA!!!!

The Stella d'Oro daylilies started blooming yesterday. A couple of them have at least 120 buds, so I want to see just how long they bloom. They're crazy!

The pinks are about done blooming.

The coreopsis and Stella d'Oros have buds. The Stellas are covered! I counted 11 scapes on one, and there are 8-10 buds on each scape!

I sprayed Roundup on the "sidewalk" today. Someday I'll be able to call it just the sidewalk...someday when the stones are laid. :(
