Okay, as I was saying, the Nursery Manager decided he'd deliver the plants himself. Which gave me an opportunity to show him what I'm doing. I think he really likes our farm, and he did approve not only of the location, but the spacing of the plants, and how I was intermixing them. I did chide him for not having any host plants available for sale. I hope he will try to get some in the spring.
So, back to the photos.
After digging them 10 holes, I was tired. So I went and collected my Eldest Child, and he helped me place the pots and dig the remainder of the holes. See the first photo. You'll probably notice lines drawn in the dirt. Well you know when designing the garden the first thing that I thought about was providing pathways that are handicapped accessible. We had to become ADA compliant during October, but that's a whole 'nother story. With my own mobility questionable at times, it's important to me that my gardens are wheelchair accessible. So you will see the lines I drew marking out where I want the walkways to be. Especially in the 2nd photo. In the 3rd photo, you can the the Main entrance to the oxbow. It's to the far right of the photo. You can see the back of a sign that reads Fun Zone. Things are a changing though.
In the next two photos, you can see all the plants setting out where I'll be planting them.
Sure looks like something in the works doesn't it?
Okay, I have more photos, so on to the next post.
