Okay so it has in recent weeks been way too hot and humid to spend much time in the garden so that of course leads to dreaming and planning. DH has now been informed of the certain demise of more of his grass(it's all gone crabby grass in this area at this point anyway).I have hatched a plan to extend the blue/yellow bed out into said lawn. This sticky out bit is what bugged him at first. Then I explained I wanted grapes, the white eating kind, on the back against poles and fencing like the clems are on now. He said he would help cement the poles this fall, he likes grapes. :)
Here is a shot of proposed extension which will contain some new yellow and orange echinacea, two tones of small lavender for edging, sib. iris and a few more agastache 'Black Adder'. At least that is the plan for next spring. I hope to get newspapers and about a foot of compost down after posts are in and let it do the grass removal over winter for me. This is a pretty small area so not much work and is subject to change without notice over the long cold winter months.
