The flower beds were pretty overgrown when I moved here. Skip had worked hard on the house and the pond, but the beds were overrun with invasive perennials, daylilies, and wild mustard. Last year was spent trying to identify what was left, clearing out some of the choked areas, and adding a few things for color and structure. I moved some of my favorites from the old house, and ordered some plants I had wanted but didn't have room for on Regan Street. This spring has been great. There's been a lot of hard work digging out the lilies and weeds, but it's already been well worth it. I found some plants that I missed last year , nearly all the plants I put in last year made it through the winter, and a ton of plants have arrived from Bluestone. This year I'm working on the back border, clearing out the path through the woods, and hopefully I'll get some work done on the weeds on the edge of the pond.
