More Empty Gardens - July 10, 2019 @goldenoakfarm
East garden in June
So we resumed digging on Tuesday morning around 6AM and worked until 10, when it was too hot. We moved the sedum, chrysanthemum daisies, white iris, snapdragons, lovage, Canterbury bells and verbascum.
White iris and Sylvia violet with horehound behind and catnip in front
Lamium, trailing lamium, lungwort, veronica, sedum with cleome behind and garlic on right
Liatris, bleeding heart, species spiderwort
White iris, chrysanthemum daisy, snapdragon, goldy chrysanthemum, black-eyed Susan with Echinacea on right
Portulaca, allysum, evening primrose
Perennial hollyhocks
They all look unhappy, as it’s been very hot. They are mulched as heavily as I dare, and watered thoroughly. Hopefully they will survive.
East garden cleared out
V garden in June
V garden nearly cleared out
There’s 5 bulbs and a huge geranium to move out of this one. Then in whatever room is left in the Big garden, I will move a huge chunk of lily of the valley that has a lot of bulbs in it, some of the hybrid spiderwort, and some of the violets and creeping thyme. Then these will be done.
I’ll have to start clearing another large space in the Big garden for transplanting the azalea and the quince, when the contractor shows up, sometime before the 22nd.
